I don't know if that would've been a blessing or a curse. Haha

I like that it ended when and how it did, then LD went on to do Curb.

But I feel you. Estelle reminds me of my grandma, no offense to my grandma. RIP So it was always fun to watch her on the show! And Frank reminds me a lot of my dad, oddly enough. Frank and Estelle were my favorite non-main 4 characters.

I'd have to check who had writing credits if anyone in particular for the Florida episodes, maybe if it was mostly Larry Charles he could have gotten somewhere. It's VERY well observed. The Pen and the #1 shirt are so fucking on point

The Pen was Larry David, unsurprisingly.

The English Patient (#1 dad shirt episode) was apparently Steve Koren.

I always forget that's The English Patient cause it's a famous A plot that I'm eh on, but the Mandlebaum Odyssey is maybe my favorite bit from the whole show.

I agree, the "main" Elaine plot on that one is secondary for me compared to the Mandlebaums.
