Season 8. The first without Larry David who had been there since the beginning. 8 and 9 get bad reputation but they are actually funny. Weird, but still fun.
There are classic lines and characters. The plots are more disjointed and less organic. They act different and even look different. But once you get used to it, it settles in.
Gone is Jerry’s opening standup – replaced with cold opens. There are audio tags at the end too that make it more a sitcom.
Season 8 has great characters like Wick. Great devices like the Urban Sombrero.
And great episodes like:
The Little Kicks
The Bizarro Jerry
The Chicken Roaster
The Van Buren Boys
The Pothole
The Yada Yada
The Summer of George
