Best of the season.

Late to the party this season...just wrapped up episode 1. I could watch Jerry and JLD for an hour and not be bored. Great chemistry.

couldnt sleep just watched a marathon of these

Garry Shandling
Alec Baldwin
Ricky Gervais
Will Ferrrell

I liked both the Sebastian and Shandling episodes. Ferrell was OK, wished it could have had more public interaction.

Season 8 preview looks pretty good. Premiers June 16, this Thursday. I really love this series.

Great line-up. Lorne, Jim, John, and Judd should all be entertaining.

Glad to see Smoove included - otherwise looks to be the same sort of nonsense as always....does anyone know if Seinfeld is supporting Trump?

Gaffigan!!!

Vintage Redstone. Just everything I expected and more. Not only unfounded claims of racism but puts on an entire new level of politics. Brilliant.

So pumped for this. Can't wait for Gaffigan today. Love that dude.

Kind of off topic, but if you didn't see it, Gaffigan did a reddit AMA a couple days ago and there were some pretty funny moments. Worth looking up if you're a fan.

Still like watching the Kevin Hart episode just for the Porsche 718 RSK. Ballsy driving that on the streets with all the s****y drivers out there

Great episode with Gaffigan.

That was a really good episode, I actually laughed out loud several times. I also loved it, because in high school I bought a 1974 VW bus Westfalia edition at a police confiscated vehicle auction in Abilene for $800. I rebuilt the engine and drove that as my primary vehicle all through undergrad at A&M. I drove it as a secondary/fun vehicle until about 2007 when I had to give her up. I still miss that bus a lot. I even had similar green plaid interior, but mine had more blue.

In our glory days on the way to Rockfest '97...

Those guys ****! Am right?!

I don't know what it is exactly; I can't put my finger on it, but something about the title of this show just bugs the **** out of me. It's like a visceral response.....it just incenses me.

This is the best post I've seen on Texags in a long time. Well done. I need the laugh/cry icon.

Haynes manual? Great photo of engine work

Coincidentally (see your user name), its this book:



I consider it to be the bible for old Volkswagen owners.

Great episode. They were pretty fun together.

Well that was bad.

I thought the Cho episode was so-so. Wasn't one of the worst but wasn't a great one.

Not sure what it is exactly, but I haven't enjoyed the show quite as much recently. Just not enough shooting the bull...acting like comedy is some great technical study. I used to feel like we were eavesdropping, not so much any more. I can't put my finger on it or describe it.

My favorite is Alec Baldwin

Have to say I was really disappointed in the JB episode. Love that guy, but it just seemed a bit flat. I don't think I laughed once until the joke at the end.

Yeah. It was bad. Maybe worst chemistry yet. Close second to Jim carrey.

I think it worked best when he had an existing relationship, even a small one, with the other comedians/comedic actors.

Or for ones he didn't know, and they could talk about different techniques and approaches. I don't get how jb smoove has a career. He has only been slightly tolerable to me when he was in Curb Your Enthusiasm, and even that was only ok in the small dose. I get that a lot of people like him, but he is a big meh for me.

Glad to see Cho and Smoove getting some exposure. Comedians of color deserve the same opportunities that people like Seinfeld have gotten for many decades.

I would counter that I'd like to see a nice Jewish boy like Seinfeld get the same opportunities as a Cho or Smoove. Seinfeld has barely had a role on tv or film in a decade, meanwhile you can't go 3 movies without seeing JB Smoove.

George Wallace, Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, Mario Joyner, Kevin Hart and Trevor Noah all say hi.

Redstone, do you think JB was forced on Seinfeld by Crackerle?

Seinfeld's done better this season, but you still have all kinds of problems in comedy, and certainly some of it can be unintentional, or even of good intention on the surface...for example, Jim Gaffigan's opening act on his recent Texas trip fits his own demographic profile exactly. Which is fine, in a sense, but he also could have used his fame to provide exposure to a woman or man of a background with less institutional privilege.

Jerry seemed like he was ACTUALLY having a really good time with John Oliver. That was a fun episode.
