Shows like Martin and Living Single should have been included.

yep, Living Single and That 70's Show both came to mind after I had posted it

:eek2: :eek2:

Do you.... hate yourself?? You have to see these shows.

Will and Grace - the only ep I remember watching was the Janet Jackson ep

Ellen - the coming out ep

All the others, what can I say? Nothing drew me in to ever check them out.

you really should check out Curb on HBO-In Demand, HBO is back to the first season there, if you like Arrested, you'd probably love CYE too. Yes, Larry David is associated with both Curb and Seinfeld, but I wouldn't say the two shows are mutually exclusive to where if you like one show, you'll like the other, or dislike one and dislike the other. They are nice companion pieces, but also very different. I also love the guest stars on there too, the celebrities who go on there are actually playing themselves in not-so-flattering ways, and it's great. Any episode that has either Richard Lewis or Wanda Sykes is going to be a masterpiece IMO. Season 5 boasted a lot of great guest stars too (yet not in a stuntcasting way) from Mayim Bialik, to Dustin Hoffman and Bea Arthur.

I think Larry David proved with Curb that he was really the true brains behind Seinfeld.

I actually planned on doing that. I planned on recording it a while back when the cycle on HBO On Demand was at the beginning of the series, because I wanted to watch it from the start, but for whatever reason let time pass and never recorded them. So I planned on doing it again the next time it was back on season 1, but now the first 5 episodes will be gone by midnight tonight. :( I do plan on checking out CYE eventually. Maybe I'll just start with episode #6.

actually, the second half of season 1 is better than the first half, seasons 2 and 3 are definately the peaks but 4 and 5 were good too
