Still Looking For an Adequate Seinfeld Replacement? Here Are 5 Options

If you're looking for a show reminiscent of Seinfeld, look no further than the show that features its writer and creator: Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David plays an amped-up version of himself (who also happens to be the inspiration for George Costanza) who grumpily asserts his opinions and makes enemies with reckless abandon. Fans of those ever-so-memorable, cringe-worthy Seinfeld moments need only to watch one episode of Curb to find themselves peeking out from behind their couch pillows while reveling in the schadenfreude.

Watch it on HBO Now.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus takes the cake (and the presidency) in Veep. It's a raucous comedy that allows Dreyfus to do what she does best: make people laugh until they cry. Elaine fans will enjoy season after season of Selina Meyer's shenanigans and perhaps even see Veep's hapless narcissist as an alter ego of Seinfeld's leading lady.

Many have compared this madcap comedy about five awful friends to Seinfeld, and for good reason. The show details the inane everyday dramas of quirky individuals running a bar in Philadelphia. The sitcom was ahead of its time when it came out in 2005, and, like Seinfeld, the jokes still land today. Season 13 is coming in 2018!

Similar to Seinfeld, the characters in Arrested Development consistently steal the show with their never-ending stream of bonkers situations. Arrested Development also relies on a steady stream of exceedingly good writing, razor-sharp acting, and cringe-worthy moments that keep you coming back for more.

Watch it on Netflix.

In the modern comedy Difficult People, the characters are deliciously flawed, the dialogue is quick, and the shenanigans are endless. The two main characters, Julie and Billy, are both 30-somethings living in New York City and working to become famous with their comedy careers. The trouble is, it's not really working for them. Like Seinfeld, Difficult People unabashedly puts horrible people front and centre as main characters, and like Seinfeld, the results are unforgettable.
