DODGSON! WE GOT DODGSON HERE!

Seasons 8 and 9 are practically from a different show, but they were still the best thing on TV at the time. The jokes played much broader, faster and looser yet still maintained the characters and relationships the audience recognized - it was almost a live-action Simpsons, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Perhaps I'm biased because those were the seasons I was watching live, but many of those episodes are among my favorites.

"when did you make this?"
"...yesterday, took the day off."

Of all George's characteristics, his focused and determined avoidance of work is probably the most admirable. Like when he dug himself in at the company that wanted rid of him.

"I'm like a weed!"
"I thought you were Hitler in his bunker."
"I'm a weed in Hitler's bunker!"
"...getting a little uncomfortable with all the Hitler stuff."

I've personally used the 'annoyed face to looks busy' tactic to great effect many times.

I like how they completely boarded up the door, forcing George to crawl through a heating duct to get into his office. Or when they had some guys come by to sandblast for four hours.

So have I, I honestly think it's legitimately brilliant.

It tied in so perfectly to that episode too with all the "Tell that son of a bitch!" stuff and Wilhelm mistaking it for actual anger.

And they were gonna install asbestos too. I love the mental image of Play Now calling up the contractors and saying "Yeah we just need to have some guys come over to sandblast. Oh, and do you install asbestos? No no, not remove it. INSTALL it. Yeah, that's right."

So I've seen every episode multiple times and have all the seasons but I've never seen the finally and never really had an urge to. I vaguely know what it's about (please don't spoil it) but from what I could gather from Curb is that it wasn't very good? What did you guys think?

It's been discussed here before, but some factors contributing to the overall negative reaction:
-It was very hyped, and they tried to make it a "special" episode. They would have been better off having a standard episode that hints at where the characters go.
-It aired right after series overview clip show. Part of the fun of the episode is seeing old characters, which you lose after watching the clip show.

I would say you should watch it. There's some good stuff in it, especially the first half.

What episodes do you feel like most people havent seen, the ones rarely discussed even though they might be really good? For me it's The Close Talker with the best plotline being George faking a trip to Paris with prewritten postcards to get out of having to be a Big Brother to little Joey, then it backfires and he ends up forced to take Joey on an actual trip to Paris that he pays for.

Also the episode where the Seinfelds admit to loathing the Costanzas.

I thought George and Joey took the Seinfeld's place on the charter that they missed due to their place in Florida getting broken into? Stupid Klompus, breaking a window.

I'm sure I'm not alone in that the only pleasure I get from watching Luck is getting the chance to repeat Kramer's OTB gibberish.
