ENTHUSIASM_3.1!!

Larry David by Darth Ptown	Sep 15th, 2002 03:40:25 AM
This show is funny. It needs no psyco-analitic stigma. It's what we all go through.....we do something and sometimes it bites us in the ass....yet never to Larry's degree. High priase to HBO for this "REAL" comedy. But Cheryl Hines is too hot for the likes of Larry David......
CURB rocks my socks off by SnapT	Sep 15th, 2002 06:48:52 AM
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is to SEINFELD as SEINFELD is to the fictional sitcom pilot that Jerry and George created for NBC about Jerry getting being assigned a butler by the courts. CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is real and SEINFELD is fake.
The best show on televsion by fieldingmellish	Sep 15th, 2002 07:45:57 AM
But it had to wait for its Emmy-nomination before HBO and Ain't It Cool showed it any respect.
Hmmm...CyE Talkback and ad banner... by JimKurring	Sep 15th, 2002 11:39:45 AM
Coincidence? I think not...
HBO has got the best shows by magic_ninja	Sep 15th, 2002 02:09:50 PM
I love Curb. I'm glad the new season is finally starting. But will anything top "The Doll"?
Why? by FNORDknt	Sep 15th, 2002 03:16:40 PM
Why are we talking about this show. Seriously, even for talkback this is slumming.
This show is more newsworthy than "cupping tits" on Enterprise by magic_ninja	Sep 15th, 2002 03:54:50 PM
Yep.
The Costanza Show Rules Your World by DirtyRatBastard	Sep 15th, 2002 10:38:50 PM
And let's be frank, this is basically what Curb Your Enthusiasm is. Larry David proved from the very first episode of this show that he was the sum of what made Seinfeld the classic that it is. Who wouldn't want a TV show where the protagonist is an asshole? That is genius. Ironically, this was the case with Mr. Show, and you saw where HBO went with that. I can only hope that we have years and years of Curb, and that we have DVD collections right around the corner...
Actually there are CyE banner ADS by Brother Putney	Sep 16th, 2002 01:04:04 AM
One up on top and one down the side. Still... it's a pretty funny fuckin' show. How is it that you can see the punchlines coming from a mile away and yet... it's still satisfying? Was it just me or did the Bondi-guy's appearance change slightly during their exchange? Anyway... I'll also be interested to see "Comedian," that new documentary about Seinfeld. He's been kind of away for a while.
Will there be another episode this season focusing on the use of by MaxCalifornia.	Sep 16th, 2002 02:15:49 AM
Maybe it's just me, but the two episodes that revolved around the usage of the c-word were the best ones...especially that obituary typo. Ha!
"The Doll" was a Classic! by TallScott	Sep 16th, 2002 07:00:11 AM
One of the funniest Eps. Of any show Period!! So many things in that Ep. that were gut busting funny. This is a wonderful show..Yeah Larry is a total asshole and when he does something good he gets it in the end but still its friggin the best thing on TV

CYE is truly a work of genius. I am glad HBO exists because you could never get away with having a character that unlikeable as a protagonist on network television. I bought the "Get a Life" DVD recently, and there is an interview on there with producer David Mirkin. He points out that in England, they will accept having a lead character in a sitcom who is basically an asshole (think Basil Fawlty), but in America there is still pressure to have a hug at the end of every show. With CYE, there are no hugs- and you can't even really feel sorry for Larry, because he causes most of his problems himself by being such a dick.

Hilarious.
Late Discovered of CYE by Robey-T	Sep 16th, 2002 10:05:32 AM
The funniest damn show on tv. Last night's with chiclets & kabobaphoric was hilarious. Are they planning on releasing any of the previous seasons on DVD? I'd like to watch it from the beginning.
Curb This Show by Boxcutter	Sep 16th, 2002 10:53:10 AM
Tired, tiring, uninspired, infantile, self-indulgent, repetitive, relentless, one-note, vacuous...sorry. Don't get it. Never have. Tried again with last night's episode. Nope. These are thin schticks with laboured plotting about spoiled people living in a bubble. Great idea.
I must be a moron by jtp8000	Sep 17th, 2002 10:07:26 AM
I must be a moron because I don't find CYE funny.I guess I am so stupid I cannot begin to understand the comic genius behind it. Except, Larry David is not funny, he is annoying, Cheryl Hines is an absolutely terrible actress, Jeff Garlin is the only thing worth watching. I mean- jesus, Ted Danson cannot improvise for shit. And to compare this show to Fawlty Towers- which had so much fuckin comic genius I can watch it over and over again and still laugh my ass off is ridiculous.
