ing: Larry David
Along with the Seinfeld gang there were many bit
players. The main antagonist that is Newman,
the postal worker down the hall portrayed by
Wayne Knight. He is Jerry’s Lex Luthor to
Superman. Topics came from everywhere to
include all characters. ‘The anti-dentite’, ‘the
close talker’, ‘the bubble boy’, ‘the face painter’
and ‘the yada, yada, yada’ to name but a few.
Jerry, Kramer and George each had an alias.
Kel Varnsen, H.E. Pennypacker (a wealthy
industrialist, philanthropist and bicyclist) and
of course the one and only, Art Vandelay of
Vandelay Industries. The producing team of
Larry and Jerry created a healthy atmosphere
that allowed the actors to get the best out of

‘Curb’ as it was affectionately known was
produced and written in such a unique style.
Larry would have a story outline for each show.
A cast of real and fictional characters are
given scene outlines and they improvise as the
cameras roll. Ubiquitously. The series centres
around Larry as a semi retired television writer
and producer.
Larry manages to find the most trivial details
in most people’s day to day life and make us
laugh. He finds those around him to be
rather annoying having certain social
expectations that people should adhere
too. Unlike most people however, Larry
expresses what we’re all thinking.
Finding himself in many an awkward
situation. Going eyeball to eyeball in
many disagreements.
‘Curb’ and ‘Seinfeld’ are amazingly
produced sit-coms. The different
audiences allowed Larry David to take
his talent, ideas a
