Who Else Thinks Curb Your Enthusiasm Sucks This Season?

I was hyped to begin watching this season, because the show was great before, but it has just sucked so far for me atleast. The only entertaining storyline was the anniversary gift one and they just had to end that in the second episode. That could have went on for awhile and had tons of potential.

I would not say that it "sucks" but it definitely has not been as good.

I have laughed but the episodes seem to set up a lot of things that never pay off. I miss how the old shows, you could almost see what was going to happen to come back and bite Larry in the ass, and it made it even funnier to watch when it happened.

Now things, I expect to happen don't happen, and not much else seems to happen instead.

"Blind Date" was damn funny. The first 2 were okay, though the doctor's phone bit was too annoying.

I didn't really care for the first episode, but I thought the 2nd episode was classic - I loved it. Third was pretty good too, but I still like the 2nd best of all.

The first 2 episodes were really bad by Curb standards, but I have faith that it'll get better. Super Dave's going to be on for the next few weeks. I never watched Super Dave's show, but I've loved him on Jimmy Kimmel's show.

The one last Sunday was great. None have been as good as crazy eyed killa but give it a chance.

I thought the first two were somewhat lacking, but the 3rd episode seemed to bring the season back online. Hopefully they'll keep getting better!

Nothing on TV will ever be as good as the krazy eyed killa episode, we must accept that

It's definitely lacked so far compared to previous CYE, but I wouldn't say it's "sucked" my any means... I really hope it improves though.

I wouldn't say that it sucked, but some of the episodes have not been as good as previous ones (but many are hard to live up to). Regardless:

Mediocre/Bad CYE > 95% Great Other Comedy Shows

where the other 5% includ Scrubs, King of Queens, The Office and others that I can't think of right now...

My sentiments exactly.

I've never gotten into the show. I've probably seen 6 or 7 episodes, a few from the first season and all of this season so far. Of course I never saw a single episode of the 2nd season so I have no idea what everyone is raving about. The show has it's moments, but I always thought it was overrated and the constant yelling can get on my nerves.

I think I watched it once during the first season and thought the acting was horrible. This was before I found out they were ad-libbing it all. I'm still not sure if that's a good idea or not.
