The season\u2019s mega-arc has been the ongoing uncertainty around the character Larry\u2019s having accidentally run afoul of Georgia election laws. And, throughout the season, askance references to the \u201cSeinfeld\u201d finale (which featured the core cast going to prison after having been forced to hear endless testimony as to their self-centeredness) suggested that the right way to wrap up a series was very much on David\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The \u201cSeinfeld\u201d finale \u2014 which David, who had left the series, returned to write \u2014 was pilloried at the time, but if one watches it today, outside the heat of the show\u2019s press-choreographed march to the finish line, it\u2019s not bad. It\u2019s just a bit sloppy. In that, it was already more like a generic episode of \u201cCurb\u201d than a generic episode of \u201cSeinfeld\u201d \u2014 and then the \u201cCurb\u201d finale just reiterated the formula. I\u2019ll admit that I was surprised to realize that this \u201cCurb\u201d episode, in the present day, really was just doing the trial formula all over again, and that I was dismayed that the character witnesses, this time, were plucked <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly though not exclusively from recent episodes. (\u201cSeinfeld\u2019s\u201d witnesses, like the Soup Nazi, had the weight of having blossomed by popular mandate into TV history; \u201cCurb\u2019s\u201d included Bruce Springsteen, talking about something that happened on last week\u2019s episode; Alexander Vindman was also back, for some reason.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cSeinfeld\u201d ended with its characters confined to prison, put away on a technicality after years of abusing their fellow man. It\u2019s prime Larry David, in that it seems like an ending David had in mind, toward which he constructed a series of events that made sense \u2014 sort of. \u201cCurb\u2019s\u201d ending was still more confusing: Larry is convicted, but then let off on a technicality after the real-life Jerry Seinfeld sees a juror breaking sequester, spurring a mistrial ruling. Larry flies off into the sunset, with a relatively uninspired quarrel with Susie (Susie Essman) marking the end of this narrative. Earlier in the episode, David had made the barely-buried subtext of the series text: Confronting a child, he seems ready to tell him off or to deliver unsolicited parenting advice to his mother, before declaring, \u201cI\u2019m 76 years old, and I have never learned a lesson in my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Jail can\u2019t wake him up, but TV production might: One can read this episode as the response to lessons he learned from the response to the \u201cSeinfeld\u201d finale. And there are, indeed, moments of fun that were missing there \u2014 David and Seinfeld, walking out of prison together, remark how much more fun it would have been if Jerry, Elaine and the gang had gotten a similar last-minute reprieve. Ha-ha. And Essman has great moments elsewhere in the finale, before her appearance in the out-of-ideas final scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But the finale spoke, in the main, to both the strengths and weaknesses of \u201cCurb\u201d relative to what might \u2014 had he been less ambitious in the years after \u2014 have been David\u2019s great work. \u201cSeinfeld\u201d was elastic for a network show, but it had its limits. \u201cCurb,\u201d which debuted as a regular series in 2000 after first airing as a special in 1999, is as old as this century, and has moved forward by perpetually pushing limits. It\u2019s done a solid if not always optimally elegant job of tracking the evolving dinner-party trending topics over two decades. The show\u2019s on-the-fly nature \u2014 with its wholly improvised conversations built around the loose outline of a plot \u2014 effectively invented a category of entertainment, but also means that the show is by its nature a blunt instrument. Larry and his friends are loopily, outrageously funny; they live out loud; they play <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s of one-upsmanship that are genuinely delightful to watch. But they are rarely sly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This, as much as the West Coast-vs.-East Coast divide or the profanity allowed by premium cable, is what differentiates \u201cCurb\u201d from \u201cSeinfeld\u201d \u2014 on the latter series, (nearly) every episode\u2019s final minutes had a pleasing, Swiss-watch quality, as the disparate storylines clicked neatly into place and the characters came back together once more. \u201cCurb\u201d has made a practice of bringing its episodes in for memorable landings, too, but its endings more frequently come as wild, who\u2019d-have-thunk narrative swings. (This has become truer and truer in recent seasons, the construction of which has grown ever more lackadaisical.) On \u201cSeinfeld,\u201d one admires the logic; on \u201cCurb,\u201d one admires the audacity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Which also meant that on \u201cSeinfeld,\u201d those who were not bitterly disappointed by the finale could appreciate a certain poetic logic to it. The only poetry to \u201cCurb\u2019s\u201d finale was free verse. (It\u2019s telling that on \u201cSeinfeld\u2019s\u201d finale, we saw all the witnesses and got their stories placed in context; toward the end of \u201cCurb\u2019s\u201d testimony against Larry, a prosecutor played by Greg Kinnear was just listing off things that had happened on a series that was improvisatory to the end.) Larry will be missed. But he may just deserve a break.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
