Curb Your Enthusiasm 2/1

Woohoo! Finally a great episode this season. I loved all the continuity. They finally had a great ending too. "A dog bit my penis."

It was odd seeing Larry have to stretch his acting skills this time. Going from gay Larry at the beginning to wasp Larry at the end.

It still seemed like they tried to pack too much into the episode, but it was all funny this time.

I dunno. It was a good episode, but not a great on IMO. THe dog bitining Larry's penis was hilarious, and the cashew stuff was pretty funny, but the golf club in the casket went no where and wasn't that funny. It was pretty good all in all, but not one of the best of the season.

But I agree, the last 3 seconds were lough out loud hilarious.

I liked that part! And it went somewhere...that's why they were kicked out of the Country Club.

Susie: "You didn't know the club had your name on it, you ****ing idiot!!!"

That was my favorite part!

I didn't like most of it. Faking their way through the country club interview was alright, but the rest of it seemed pretty unbelievable to me. Nobody even acted squeemish about him taking the golf club out of the casket. And do they have to do the bit with everyone in the room staring at Larry in disapproval every episode?

I missed the first two minutes or so, I came in right when the practice ended and David started talking to Schwimmer about his father. Did I miss any jokes?

They had one line I loved. After the coach praises Larry, Larry says to the blind guy, "Too bad you can't see."

I thought it was the funniest episode of the season hands down!
"You got us kicked out of the club over a @!# FIVE IRON!?!?"
"It was a five wood."
"What?!?"
"It was a five wood."
Great stuff...
Definitely going to rewatch it later this week.

It started out a little scattered, but it ended funny as hell.

Anyone else notice that the doctor was Herman from "Herman's Head" (William Ragsdale)?

Lots of good lines in this one. My favorite was regarding the Good Hodgkins and Larry's diagnosis based on watching Party of Five.

This season still isn't grabbing me. While this episode had some funny lines a few funny situations, I am just not getting into it. In fact, I am having a hard time paying attention to the show while it is on.

It just seems like the situations are too forced, too unbelievable, and that they are trying to pack too many things into every episode. It is becoming more of a slapstick, over the top thing, and I am really missing the more subtle humor of the previous seasons.

I am enjoying the new season of Sex and the City so much more. It is not trying so hard to be funny.

Finally an episode that gets back to the show's roots.

This is the first episode of this season that I've really liked.

Where else could you watch people arguing over who has more of a Jew-face ?

I thought this was the worst episode so far this season,then again i cant stand Shwimmer so that didnt help but the whole golf club thing wasnt that funny to me nor the cashew bit although the jew face did make me laugh but that was about it.

Suisie is the best curser on TV since the producer on the Larry Sanders show.

Someone please sum up the last two minutes. HBO2 is notoriously awful at starting 3 minutes past the hour/half hour, so I never got to see how the interview at the country club ended.

Larry makes up what right wing organizations he belongs to and gives the two club members a doctor's note to use a golf cart. He then calls the dental hygienist from his office saying he can't on their date tonight because "a dog bit my penis". She hangs up on him and the show ends.

Wow. It's funny how people can like the same series yet have very different taste. I've loved the fourth season very much, but this was hands down the least enjoyable episode of not only this season, but perhaps the entire run of the show for me.

I don't know if I missed something, but why was the old man being buried with Larry's beloved golf club?

They reran this one tonight & I saw it for the first time. If you're like me & fairly new to the show, I highly recommend checking out the west coast feed tonight. I'm not sure how many I've seen, but this has got to be one of the funniest episodes I've seen yet.

My take is because Sven (the Norwegian, not Swedish) golf pro purposely switched to using Larry's club to get back at him.
