What are the artistic reasons to shoot "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in a higher frame rate?

I don't get used to it, maybe it looks better in new TVs, but I have an old CRT and the first time I watched the show I gives me the impress I was watching an old show.

May I ask, what season you watched? Reason being, Se 1-6 were shot in 480i picture format, and Se 7 onwards was shot in 1080i. Based on your answer, I can try to explain it. – Incognito Feb 15 at 6:20
Season 6 and some older episodes. – fdisk Feb 22 at 14:49

It looks like an old soap opera?

You're actually refering to a change in Frame Resolution not frame rate, increased frame rate is that horribly obnoxious thing they did with some versions of The Hobbit, made it look like a video game cut scene.

To answer your question though, the reason why they did changed from 480i to 1080i is simply because of the demand and pressure for it, with most other programs offering 1080i to their customers, to not do it would be to fall behind.

However, there might be a setting somewhere in your tv to adjust motion blur. Turn it down, that might help.
