The case for each
Seinfeld: The 1989-1998 NBC sitcom by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, 'a show about nothing': Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer in Manhattan. George Costanza is based on Larry David himself.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Larry David's HBO show from 2000 to 2024, largely improvised from outlines: Larry plays himself, the rich co-creator of Seinfeld, starting social wars over tiny rules. Season 7 includes a Seinfeld reunion.
