Curb Your Enthusiasm

Curb Your Enthusiasm is a great show but Seinfeld was better.

It managed to be funny without the liberal use of the C word which a lot of mediocre comedians/writers drop into their act/show to get a few easy laughs and make them look a bit edgy.

Agreed. One of the geniuses (?) of Seinfeld was the way it was able to approach adult topics without resorting to adult language. Take "The Contest" for example. An entire half hour, on prime time tv in the US, about masturbation. Yet they got away with it due to some wonderful writing.

CYOE is still marvellous though.

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

Yes indeed when he was under house arrest

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.

I can tell you how it ended?

Panic over, I am the purveyor of "acquired" goods ;)

You could, but I wouldn't like you any more.

I'm still not sure I can forgive Pubey for using his FB status to detail something that happened at the end of Season 4 of The Wire whilst I was still at the start of said series.

I wouldn't do that to you mate!

Shocking faux pas from Pubes there.
