Round of 32 (Old Comedies): Freaks and Greeks vs. Curb Your Enthusiasm

Two classics from the turn of the century. Which will advance?

 

Freaks and Geeks is great but this shouldn't be close.

 

I've only seen a few eps of Curb but I loved Freaks and Geeks

 

Freaks and Geeks bored me. Curb is not as great as it used to be but it is still an incredible show.

 

curb is incredible. f&g is fine.

 

Whoa. Bad slotting for F&G.

Curb is great.

 

Curb for sure

 

F&G started the career of Seth Rogen, Franco, etc, didnt it? It was funny, wasn't it? What was wrong with it?

 

Starting someone's career is not always a good thing. The Apatow-Rogen era of comedy was not good.

 

Franco is also a monster, so starting his career is specifically a point against F&G instead of for. I probably would have voted for it a few years ago, but now I just can’t do it.

 

Is that fair, though? Holding a show or movie to account for something that an actor did years later seems really unfair to everyone else who worked on the project. It is fair to do so if they are hired after an incident, but I can't blame Seinfeld or The Larry Sanders Show for things that supporting actors did years later.

 

He was terrible on Freaks and Geeks as well, Busy Philipps has spoken out at length about it. He has been enabled by that group for decades.

 

Curb Your Enthusiasm advances.

 

good

 

It should.
