Is there any talk of there possibly being a ninth season?
They really have no reason not to do it. The show is basically Larry's pet project that just happens to be above average in quality and very successful.
At this point he's making it look easy. In Season 7 promos I remember him and certain cast members saying that they always think they're on the last season, but eventually decide "oh, we'll just do one more." But it keeps continuing. Every season since S5 has served decently as the final one, but they just keep making the show. I love it, and I bet they do too.
Season 8 didn't really end on a finale-like note though. I think if the show was actually going to end, it would end on an episode more like the finales for, like I said, one of the last three seasons. More seasons are welcomed anyway. We saw an increase in quality from S7 to S8 (even though S7 was competent), and we saw that the writing can keep up with original awkward situations combined with recycled Seinfeld material. Again, the people behind the show are basically making it look easy at this point, and I'm pretty sure they'll continue pumping out episodes until they're burned out and Larry's had enough.
