Curb Your Enthusiasm

Y'know I'd never thought I'd manage to love a TV show so much that wasn't made by Joss Whedon...but CYE has slain me. It's just so good. I've watched the first 4 seasons in about a month now.

The first time I saw it, I saw a random episode and didn't really like it, or 'get'i it (it's not a sitcom, and there are no quick-fire jokes), but after seeing the pilot and the first few episodes of the first series, I've gotta say this is one of my fave shows ever.

Warning: don't watch it whilst high. You'll laugh so hard it'll physically hurt and you'll burst a vein or something.

I think there needs to be more of these 'farce' shows on tv. The only other one I can think of is the fantastic Fawlty Towers from England, so surely this is a TV genre they should concentrate on a bit more?

Anyone else a fan, then? I would strongly recommend this show if you've never seen it before.

I have some catch-up to do, but I love that show too... it's so hilarious! And it's true, it seems british, not so american.

I just don't "get it".

Watch the one-hour pilot episode. I started off watching the season 3 pilot 'Chets Shirt', and hated the overacting, cheesy music, bad camera work, homevideo-style production values, and just didn't 'get' it. The pilot is great though and helps bring you into the style of the show. When I rewatched Chet's Shirt long afterwards, I fucking loved it!

I just saw the season 5 premiere episode. It's such an amazingly complex tapestry of events (or at least it seems that way).

I love it when Larry is being sarcastic and nasty when he's particularly annoyed with someone or something. He usually does it once every few episodes and it always kills me.

"Devoted sister, beloved cunt."

"i have seen larry david in action, and the man is an animal.. and he has to be stopped."

Best show on television by far.

Plus it saves lives, true story.

Such a great show. My favorite episode was when he ate the manger scene cookies.

"You ate the baby Jesus!"

"I thought he was a monkey."

Hahahahaha

"So you think you're gonna cross me
And mess with my shit?
Openin' your fuckin' trap
And flappin' your lip?

Don't fuck with me, nigga
Cause you're gonna get dropped
I'll snap off your neck
With a crackle and pop!

If you say anything
You'll beg me to die
Cause I'll make you suck my dick
Then I'll nut in your eye

I'll stomp on your world
As if my name was Godzilla
I'm comin' for you, motha-fucka,
I'm your Krazee-Eyez Killa."

"What you think?"

""I would lose the 'motherfucker' at the end-because you already said fuck once. I would change the motherfucker to bitch, Bitch is a word that you would use to somebody that you disrespect.”

"You my dog. You my nigga, I like you. You're my caucasian. Are you my caucasian?"

"Yeah... I'm your caucasian."
