Curb Your Enthusiasm 10/7

[shaniac]

They put John McEnroe and Larry David on the screen together and somehow failed to make it hilarious.

The episode started off good, but degraded quickly, characteristic of the last couple seasons.

I've seen about half the CYEs , and I'd say this was the worst I've seen. These are the best IMO when they deal with everyday things that many people can relate to - tipping, dry cleaners, etc. But a bow tie hang-up? Freak book, limo commotion - meh.

happy birfday becker!

hey mac, i'm shitfaced! we're gonna need a driver!

lollllllllll

i'm thinking that the people bitching about the freak book didn't really get the payoff at the end at the staples center.

It's all how they pull it off IMO, like the little questions Larry had about Muslims and bow ties was funny, when Larry gets in trouble only because he was concerned about the happiness of his driver was funny, but inviting the driver in and he gets tanked and thus Larry has to drive a limo and ends up driving Mcenroe around and the excessive bowtie thing with Ted just felt stupid and cheesy to me.

It almost feels as if someone who has watched all the episodes but doesn't really understand the show wrote this episode, I dunno.

I'm not totally against the new Curb style though, and think it's cool they're trying different things. Even though I much prefer the earlier style and subtlety, I've enjoyed this season, but this ep seemed very off to me.

I'm going bonkers over the music. It's so awesome, esp when the marimbas or whatever they are come in. Makes me wanna dance in Hawayi.

Agreed. I'm not sure I laughed once. I don't understand those who say it's the best of the season.

I concur, was laughing so hard this ep. Not so much the ep before.
