First, a confession. I am a big fan of the show. I feel it marked a change for the better in television. 
Yes, it began quite shaky. And I firmly believe that has it appeared in today’s market, it would never have made it to the second season(which is true of many shows that made a mark on the map of the TV landscape).
The team started to find their footing in the third season, and for the following four seasons enjoyed critical and viewer adoration. The eight season saw the departure of an integral part of the show. Co-creator (and voice of assorted characters like George Steinbrenner) Larry David had felt it was time to exit. And who could blame him? He basically left when the show was on top of the world. However, this meant that season eight stumbled around a bit to find it’s way. It became a bit more cartoon-ish. This is not to say it was a bad season. It just was not as strong as four through seven had been.
