Big Al Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 There was a big write-up in Saturday's paper about this show, which had me in stitches. I don't have cable, so I've never seen it; it sure does intrigue me, though. Enough to want to plop down the $30 for the set tomorrow, despite having never seen a second of it. What do y'all think about it? Quote
catesta Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Al, it is one of the funniest shows going, you will not be disappointed. Quote
kh1958 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 It is the funniest show on TV, that I know of. It chronicles Larry David's spectacular inability to smoothly interact with other humans. Quote

sheldonm Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I would also agree this show is hilarious (sp), although my girlfriend doesn't think it that funny (she prefers "Sex and the City). Mark Quote
PHILLYQ Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I find the show hysterical; my wife thinks he's just a totally dysfunctional human. If you liked 'Seinfeld', you will find this show quite funny, as some elements of 'Seinfeld' in terms of plot structure are in almost every episode. I may buy it myself for when this new season ends and I'm in need of some good laughs. Quote
Harold_Z Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I love the show. It's like Seinfeld unfettered by network restrictions. thanks for posting this, Al. I didn't know the dvd was coming up out. Now I ordered it. Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I've only seen part of one episode, at a friend's house. It caught my eye (ear?), and for a while I couldn't figure out why. Then I noticed the absence of a laugh track (or a studio audience laughing), and realized it was on HBO. Seinfeld had a laugh track (not that there's anything wrong with that), and was still hilarious. But I appreciate a show that let's you decide where the humor is, instead of trying to decide for you. Definitely left me wanting to see more! Quote
doubleM Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I laugh just thinking about the show, and how L. Dav. fucks everything up so royally. Enjoy your purchase, and keep us posted! Quote
SEK Posted January 14, 2004 Report Posted January 14, 2004 I've watched "Curb Your Enthsiasm" several times since we got cable last month. My wife thinks it's hysterical. I have to be in the right frame of mind[lessness] for it. If you like watching rich folks making fools of themselves (who doesn't?), you'll dig it. I've noticed that anytime I get to thinking that Larry David is a complete asshole, another person usually comes on the scene who makes Larry David seem relatively mild, even sensitive . "Curb Your Enthsiasm" is growing on me... Quote
Parkertown Posted January 14, 2004 Report Posted January 14, 2004 Oh, he's definitely an asshole. Fuckin' hilarious show, IMO. Bugs the heck out of my wife though, so I don't get to watch very often. But when I do, I laugh 'til it hurts. Quote
jacman Posted January 14, 2004 Report Posted January 14, 2004 CYE is my favorite show on TV. The Shaq episode cracked me up. LD is such a schmuck. Quote
Eric Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 A friend loaned the DVD to me the other day. I have never seen it, although I loved Seinfeld. I don't have much to add to the above, other than to say that it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Quote
wesbed Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Everybody I know hates this show. I laugh out loud most every time I watch it. I remember when Larry had discoverd he enjoyed peeing, more, when he sat down. He was complaining, through the show's half-hour, wondering who left the seat up. But, yeah, Larry's character is a likeable asshole with no personal skills. Quote
Harold_Z Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Yeah...it's strange. I love the show...some of my friends love it and some won't watch it at all. Usually I hear something like "oh... I turned it off after 5 minutes." Quote
PHILLYQ Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 I saw somewhere that the second season is coming out in June. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) NINETEEN MONTHS LATER... Can anyone answer a question for me? I'm new to this show and I'm just about to finish viewing season one. As a matter of fact, I stopped episode nine just at the part where Richard Lewis enters. My question: As I loathe Richard Lewis, how long into the series does he continue to infect nearly every episode? Opinions will no doubt vary but I find this man to be without comedic talent. (I remember his act when he first hit the scene. He was going nowhere until he hit on the I'm-so-sick routine.) GADS he's dreadful! Edited November 19, 2005 by Chaney Quote
GregK Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 I've only seen seasons 1 and 2 and parts of 4, and he seems to be in it all the way through. He's Larry's best friend, isnt he? Quote
Guest Chaney Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Damn. Thanks Greg. Don't worry, I won't shoot the messenger. -_- Quote
J.A.W. Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Opinions will no doubt will vary but I find this man to be without comedic talent. (I remember his act when he first hit the scene. He was going nowhere until he hit on the I'm-so-sick routine.) GADS he's dreadful! ← I couldn't agree more Quote
Harold_Z Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Ok..so what are you guys saying...you like the show OTHER than Richard Lewis's participation ? Or you DON'T like the show because of his participation ? Quote
GregK Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Ok..so what are you guys saying...you like the show OTHER than Richard Lewis's participation ? Or you DON'T like the show because of his participation ? ← he's not irritating enough to make me not watch the show, but i don't see what he adds that is all that vital. it could be better without him Quote
Harold_Z Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 he's not irritating enough to make me not watch the show, but i don't see what he adds that is all that vital. it could be better without him ← I think this show has characters that are supposed to be irritating. i.e. Larry's cousin, Richard Lewis, etc. It's something for Larry to work off of. It's an (exagerrated) realism. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) What I'm saying: I enjoy the show in spite of the presence of the Richard Lewis. Q: What's wrong with this grouping of performers? A: Trick question. Nothing. Edited November 19, 2005 by Chaney Quote
