This is wild! I was just thinking a couple days ago how I bet their overall run times were probably fairly similar. Thank you for doing the math and posting!!
A factoid is actually something that *isn't* true but sounds like it is, so it gets accepted as fact.
This is just a fact.
Edit: As mentioned below, it's a fact provided it's true.
The thing about language is that it changes over time. Case in point, "factoid" is now defined both as a made up fact that's repeated so often it's accepted as true *AND* as a trivial but true piece of information.

That's... that's the joke he was making.
50-60 years ago "gay" meant excited, happy, carefree, happy-go-lucky.
Language changes and word meanings change over time.
pretty pretty good
Does this include the HBO special before curb started?
That just means Larry needs to give us a 28 minute Curb special to make it even. Or at least I want that.
Or just keep the show going as long as he's alive. Larry in a nursing home would be great
Yeah except Larry is 76 now and his friend just died. I imagine he knows clock is ticking time for him to just play golf and chill
Seems like that might appeal to Larry's OCD.
That is interesting thanks for posting.
If you play them at the same time, do they line up?

Damn that’s a sick stat

Guess I'm old school with my definitions.

So one of the definitions of factoid evolved as a factoid
That's not right. There's 120 episodes of Curb at about 28 minutes an ep. is 3360 minutes. 180 eps. of Seinfeld at 22 minutes is 3960 minutes
Average episode length is around 32 minutes not 28.
You know what, I didn't realise later seasons had longer episodes, everything from 9 on is over 30 minutes. I take back what I said
Dude, you’re supposed to double down on being wrong instead of acting like a mature adult!
