I do not disagree that the show's writing was not as good post-Larry David. However, I disagree that all the episodes were bad. The "Chicken Roaster" was brilliant - all the storylines were hilarious. But I agree that most of the post-LD stories were so absurd that it somewhat took away from what they started.

To me, it just proves that Jerry Seinfeld saw this too and is why he ended the show, rather than continuing to take NBC's money and producing sub-standard episodes and being a parody of himself. The show went as far as it could and would have overstayed its welcome, despite receiving high viewer ratings.
