He'll be missed here, there, and maybe (but probably not) everywhere. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 RIP. He was very funny in Curb. I don't think I'm familiar with his work outside of that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Sad. He looked so frail and unwell the last few times I saw him that I am not taken by surprise. RIP funny man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I definitely remember him from at least one 90s sitcom as well as some stand up specials. Probably would appreciate him a lot more now, actually. Never really watched Curb -- I find Larry David so insufferable as to be unwatchable. I thought Seinfeld was aggravating too but at least the ensemble could offset it somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird timing, but just yesterday morning I started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and I am really not liking it much at all. I laughed at Seinfeld at times. I didn't find myself laughing at all during the first episode. When Richard Lewis popped onto the screen, I thought to myself, "Didn't he die?". A bit of Twilight Zone thing there, for sure.

kh1958 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I rode in a New York City hotel elevator with him once. He was dressed all in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Early episodes of Curb don’t hold up as well. If you start that show, I recommend the season where he starts out wearing the maga hat. I became reacquainted with Richard Lewis via Curb and am glad that happened. I was too young to appreciate him in the 80s and 90s.

Brad Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I disagree about the early episodes. It was great from the beginning. Larry David reminds me of a lot of people I’ve known. He’s a pain in the ass and he’s a kvetcher. I also think it helps if you’re Jewish; you understand the show a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 To me it’s similar to Seinfeld in that the early eps have their moments but the sweet spot had to develop. But if you’re a fan, then they’re all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub Modal Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Love that a bunch of Seinfeld actors got utilized in that show. That’s Bookman, the library detective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho the best seasons are: 4 (this is the Producers season) 6 (the Seinfeld reunion one) 7 (the one that partly takes place in NYC) i haven’t watched the newest season, and found the last few to be disappointing (though certainly they have their moments) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I watched the latest episode which included Richard Lewis for a few minutes and I have no idea when they filmed the episode but he looked pretty bad, nothing like he had looked like in the most recent season.
