Seinfeld was one of my, if not my favorite show ever, but this always seemed to be a bunch of Seinfeld jokes just redone with a jerky camera and mockumentay feel. Even in that season eight trailer I see two Seinfeld rip offs, and two, basically jokes along the same lines.
Larry David is just a more unlikeable George, and as fans know, that's who George's character was based in the first place. But at least for George you rooted for him sometimes, he had a bit of the loveable loser syndrome. Larry is just completely unlikeable. I dunno why. Probably writers and producers shouldn't be actors.

Who rooted for George? The guy killed his fiancee then went out for coffee. Larry isn't any more unlikable than he is. Maybe you just don't like it because there isn't an ensemble like Seinfeld -- it's George all the time, every time. There's no scene of Curb that doesn't have Larry in it.
It's still brilliant, IMO.
