I liked the finale. It was obvious it was headed toward a mirrored finale to Seinfeld from the beginning of the season. I like the way they chose to end it. Some of the bits in the episode were quite funny. And I liked seeing some of the characters return. I really liked this season overall. Wasn't god tier, but there were a lot of moments I enjoyed from it.

I liked the finale and making it parallel Seinfeld and having a better ending was good. Other than that this season was awful.

I also agree with this, but since season 8. I have enjoyed it for what it was since, but it never came back from that 6 year hiatus from 2011 to 2017. It jumped the shark big time, especially with Celebs

I tried watching some of season one and it was just downright awful. Is there a particular season I should start from where it becomes funny?

Season 1 Episode 9 is classic Curb. Yeah, if you don't "enjoy" that episode then yeah, you won't ever really get it.

I've never seen a single episode of this show. How would y'all describe it?
Social porn awkward situations arising from Larry’s complete lack of tact and people skills, often ironically since he’s mostly ”trying to do the right thing” and getting doubly punished for it; also since a lot of the people he interacts with are grandstanding douchebags.

Each episode is like a mini puzzle to see what will go wrong, and when all the pieces converge, it’s glorious. Very similar to Seinfeld (sans S8-9) in that regard. There’s a recurring happy-go-lucky tune, typically occurring in the first half of the episode, that I call the ’Everything’s Still Mostly Fine Theme’ when things are still somewhat optimistic and the social situation hasn't fallen apart yet.

I loved the callback to the “Pants tent“ from episode 1 at the very end. I always found that so relatable. 😂
 
Man I'm going to miss this show, it was always some strange comfort knowing another season would inevitably come out.
I would be down for a Freddy Funkhouser spin-off , Vince could easily be a younger Larry and carry that torch.
