Curb Your Enthusiasm

[Uncle Leo]

Sorry, I am ill and on death's door as I type :hilarious:

No worries. A bit of CYE and Jeff's missus going on a:

"F**k you you f**king fat c**t piece of s**t"

rant will make you feel much better :D

Mr Uxbridge, I have seasons 1&2 on DVD and I think I may partake.

Apart from the odd film, I've always had a problem with US comedy (I mean Jesus, just look at what they did to The Office

) but the trailers for CYE have tempted me. Would it be more advisable to start with season one rather than dip in to whatever BBC4 are showing now?

Wow... you REALLY need to watch the US Office again! Ignoring the first couple of episodes where they tried to remake the UK version word for word (:thump:), once they dumped that idea, it became one of the funniest programs I've ever seen.

Its so good, I think its actually better than the UK version - they are about to show season 4 in the US - and seasons 3 and 4 had around 30 episodes each, so its certainly got legs.

If you havent watched much after the first couple of episodes, then PLEASE give it another go - its ****ing ace! :)

The US Office is definitely better than the UK version. Which I loved.

Maybe it's my basic sense of humour but I was more than a little amused when he found out about the typo in the local paper regarding the passing away of a beloved 'aunt'.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Even funnier than Seinfeld in my view. Got all the serieso n dvd and can watch them over and over again. Considering most of it is improvised, its bloody genius.

Is he not grimm_robes? A dip in to admin would possibly yield an answer but I'm too lazy.

Season 7 is less than a month away. Can't bloody wait.

agree with this, it's superb

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

More agreement here. CYE seems to be one of those rare shows that keeps getting better. Season 6 with 'The Blacks' was awesomely funny.

 

[Beefy]

When I'd said that the US Office was better than the UK one I'd only seen about ten episodes. I've now seen most of them and it's not even close. It's absolutely brilliant. Very different to the British show (a lot less subtle, with a wider cast and more like a traditional sit-com) but it's a really strong show in it's own right.

Curb is just comedy genius though. Can't wait for season seven.

 

[cockles is back]

oooh I just thought that was Uncle Jeu and Bobby Bockolar

With the cast of Seinfeld set to feature heavily. Wonderful news.

I've always loved how Larry David in CYOE objects to how everyone thinks George Costanza is a total pillock (George, of course, being based on Larry David himself)

 

[Uncle Leo]

I was also a big fan of the Larry Saunders show.

Saw 'The Hangover' last night (8/10) and was pleasantly surprised to see the actor who played Hank in Larry Sanders as the bride's father. Hank was a fantastic character. "Dear Dumb ****..."

Started on More4 last night. A sparkling return to form.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!

I recorded the final episode on More4 last Thursday. However, it was an extra long episode and Sky+ didn't pick up the last ten minutes (I believe this is More4's fault) so I don't know how it all ended up with Larry and Cheryl, with Seinfeld, etc etc.

Any advice on how to get hold of that last episode would be appreciated (but no spoilers please!). More4, in their infinite wisdom, only scheduled one repeat which was about five hours later. Nor is CYOE available on 4OD.

Its Junior Sopranos alter ego!

Am I right in thinking that Junior was once watching an epiosde of CYOE and thought he was watching himself?
