The weird thing is, depending on who's being interviewed, people who worked with Larry David say he either cared about continuity or didn't care about it at all. I've heard both statements, which I was puzzled by. My guess is that he initially didn't care about continuity but by season 3 had come to fully realize that continuity allows you to recycle laughs (in a good way) in other storylines. It also makes the characters seem more real.
