Usually, two different shows from the same author don’t cross over. However, this may not be the case for Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Summary:

Seinfeld, a sitcom created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, focuses on the personal life of Seinfeld as a fictionalized version of himself with his friends.

Curb Your Enthusiasm, a sitcom created by Larry David, follows David as a semi-retired television writer and producer.

Fans believe that the endings of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm will be similar, with Larry going to jail for being a "good Samaritan" and Seinfeld going to jail for being a "bad Samaritan."

You may ask yourself, “How can watching the show that ended over 25 years ago spoil the show that’s not finished yet?” Fans figured out an answer to that question. But to understand it, we need to back up and take a look at the history and plots of these two shows.

Seinfeld is a sitcom that ran from 1989 to 1998. It was created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. The story focuses on the personal life of Jerry Seinfeld as a fictional version of himself with three of his friends: George Costanza, Elaine Benes, and Cosmo Kramer.

It was described as “a show about nothing,” often focusing on the details of everyday life. But we are interested in the finale of the show. There, the gang is convicted after a trial for violation of a “duty to rescue” law and is sentenced to prison terms. Remember that.

Fans Already Think They Know How Curb Your Enthusiasm Will End

Now let’s talk about Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is also a sit-com that has been broadcast since 2000. The creator is Larry David, and he stars as a fictionalized version of himself.

It follows David as a semi-retired television writer and producer living in Los Angeles. The show will end on April 7, 2024. But for now, Larry is preparing for the trial after he got arrested for giving Auntie Rae water while she was in line to vote.

And that’s when the fan theory comes on stage. Given the similarities between the two shows, is it possible that the endings will be the same? Seinfeld gang went to jail for being “bad Samaritans” and Larry will go to jail for being a “good Samaritan.”

“It seems a very Larry David thing to do. Everyone hated on the Seinfeld finale so do it again. He’s had a spite store before he can have a spite finale,” Redditor tunachilimac said.
