I hear this all the time, and it just doesn't click for me. I liked Seinfeld, but Larry's character on Curb is just too much. I also love It's Always Sunny... but I just cannot enjoy Curb.

To add another anecdote to the pile I love Seinfeld, Curb your Enthusiasm, and Alway Sunny but loathe Friends. I think the correlation is weak.
