Curb 10/28
 
Totally ridiculous, but very well crafted and a few LOL moments. Suzie is amazing.

Rivals last week as the best episode to date for this season, and one of the better episodes in the entire series. Lots of really good bits and it all fit together really well. Great episode.

i thought the [censored] thing was easily explainable even though ppl were shouting him down. less plausible often equals less funny.

still great though.

as usual: awesome. the doctor's house was ridiculous. not LOL funny, but really funny in a "jesus christ......ughgh" way.

i thought the cheryl montage was a little random, but reminded me of goodtimes so whatever.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, but I think you just have to go with it even if it isn't very realistic. I do agree that it is a lot funnier when the actions the characters take are logical.

The doctors note was BIMO.
I love when the blacks move out and Leon says "That's a sexy ass Suzy"

great episode [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Personally, i'm getting tired of all these brothers and sisters around too.

Wait what happened to Cheryl? I don't really watch this show too often...I remember she was sick a few episodes back and then I missed last weeks.

Did she die?

Chilltown 10-29-2007 09:36 AM

Re: Curb 10/28
 
She left Larry.

Really good episode. The Cheryl montage was kinda cool in that it really did make me miss seeing her on the show. hope she's back soon.

I didn't like last week as much as many of you.

I thought this one was really funny. Right up there with some of my fave's. The 300 lb hooker in the HOV lane to the Dodger game is probably my favorite all time.

As I recall she really had to pee, and Larry got the car stuck.

Probably my single favorite incident was when Larry took care of the newspaper obituary for Cheryl's aunt, and had the typo of beloved aunt starting with a c instead of an a.

The writing for Vivica A. Fox is top-notch.

"Writing," for you nits.

I enjoy the occasional episode but I can't really get into this show. Feels to much like a Seinfeld spin-off, you could rename the show "Costanza" for god sakes.

For instance in this episode at the end when Larry is shaking his head and refusing to say the N word is just to much like when Jerry refused to eat his meal when the he knew the cook didn't wash his hands.

Someone told me yesterday that Larry David used to actually be involved with Seinfeld, not sure in what capacity. I found it pretty interesting.

Level?

Also this was one of my favorite episodes so far this season.

Very surprised at the reactions so far. I almost turned this one off somewhere close to the middle, seems I'm getting impatient with it, so much of the show was basically Larry retelling things that already happened/defending himself which is repetitive not only in the episode but for the whole show in general. I admit my preference is much more the everyday situation episodes though, not the implausible ones, sparing the rat dog ep.

Loved the Suzie comment from Leon though, as well as how the note played out and the uncomfortable Ben Stiller staredown. "MY WIFE USED TO BE THE SWEETEST PERSON YOU COULD MEET, NOW SHE'S TURNED INTO A WITCH!"

IMO Curb is what Larry and Jerry wanted Seinfeld to be, but couldn't because of the control NBC had over them. But yea obviously there are gonna be parallels and some rehashed material.

Was the doctor the Oh!Henry Candy Bar heiress?

Total agreement.

Sure, I laughed here and there, but...

Larry is a sociopathic megalomaniac, not an imbecile. He could certainly have explained that the N-word was used referentially.

The doctor's house could have been done well, but as it was, it was just dumb. They bashed us over the head with it.

Suzy guessing that it was Larry who offended the surgeon? Dumb.

And the doctor shaving Jeff's head was just dumb. Then, to have him explain it so lamely...dumb.

And the end? Just...dumb.

I am sure it's not easy to balance plausibility and comedy, especially in L.D.'s world, but this was all just over the top a little more than I would hope for.

I would have said no - Unless she had breast reduction surgery.

Yup. Breasts definitely do look smaller though.

She played in Desperate Housewives and is the one who killed herself in the early episodes.

Re: Curb 10/28
 
Wow I would have never recognized her as the braless wonder.

Larry is picking up some seriously hot older women, wonder how long Cheryl will be gone.

Re: Curb 10/28
 
great ep, but with a very weak ending

also, they could have explained the head-shaving SO much better, simply by saying he got him confused with a brain surgery patient or something to that effect. it was just way too forced the way they did it.

Kos13 10-31-2007 02:03 PM

Re: Curb 10/28
 
Good, not great. They really failed with the ending...it could have been much better.
