11. "Brilliant. Larry nailed what Shameless failed miserably at" In response to Reply # 0
Shameless tried to weave the Trump era and #metoo into their show in a what they saw as a fun Shameless style way, and it just wound up looking like a series of sloppy PSAs

24. "Like you said about ep 2, this season has been a lot like Seinfeld." In response to Reply # 22
I'm not complaining, every episode has been great so far. The yo-yo thing, the "she's jewish" thing, the secret beans thing, the weight-guessing thing, it all seems right out of Seinfeld.
I wonder if he's scripting it more than he used to. (though these broad plot directions would be the same even without a word-for-word script)
25. "yeah, even maga hat was a total George move" In response to Reply # 24
i know you can say that for most things Larry, but sometimes more than others.
but yeah, either way I appreciate it.

32. "not a show that you need to watch chronologically to enjoy" In response to Reply # 31 Tue Mar-03-20 02:06 PM by DJR
Most of the seasons have a general story arc, but even with that you can watch a stand-alone episode and enjoy it.
That said, the show has changed over the years. Things moved more slowly and were generally more realistic in the early seasons. To me, seasons 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 were my favorite, but there’s hilarious stuff in all the seasons. Season 10 has been great so far.
43. "that commercial Larry did for his shop was amazing stuff" In response to Reply # 0
I was howling with laughter. What a way to start the episode.
Also, fitting that this episode featured hand sanitizer on all the tables in Larry’s shop, and some revolting transfer of germs situations?
Enjoying Vince Vaughn’s addition to the show. He’s a a perfect sit around and shoot the shit that keeps conversations flowing with funny quips, type of guy.
50. "Man can you imagine anyone else pitching a Spite Store as a storyline?" In response to Reply # 0
Like it's so absurd and crazy, but now I am sure it's going to be a thing. Like soon people are going to be saying they went on a "Spite Date" or they bought a "Spite Car".
It will be a thing.

51. "As strong a season as there's been, holy shit" In response to Reply # 0
I realized that the series started in 2000. That's crazy that it first started 20 years ago. But he's definitely emphasized quality over quantity.
I've seen a lot but not every Seinfeld episode but I liked CYE better from the beginning. Reason being you get the best Seinfeld character (George) front and center, completely unhinged. Plus I couldn't stand that NYC based shows (Seinfeld, Friends) featured so few Black people. I realize Larry being co-creator and producer for a stretch contributed to that, but it seems that with CYE, he's been much more self aware about race, featuring more Black people in a whiter area.
