I just checked out Curb your Enthusiasm on IMDB and the guy that stars in the show (Larry David) is actually co-creator of Seinfeld. So you weren't off the mark Molls..
Seinfeld was actually a mixed feeling show for me. Sometimes really funny yet other times it got really really boring. My favorite character was Kramer.. just picturing his face makes me smile for no reason..
Actually quite a thought provoking thread in a while.. well done sir..
I've found that with age (and a little spiritual development) I've grown a lot more accommodating and calm in my approach towards conflicts/confrontations. This understanding nature is of even more importance towards the ones you hold dear, whom more often than not are actually neglected whilst we put on our nice faces for strangers.
Obviously there is a need for reciprocation to some level from others as well. Otherwise it can very well cause implosion.
TV show suggestions
I know exactly what you mean.. Though for some reason I like both British and American comedies.. just depends on the mood I'm in really.
