The scene with the family in the limo was great!

I laughed a few times, which was more then I could say about last week's episode. I loved Larry bugging the shit out of John McEnroe in the limo. He kept going on and on...and on...

We have a beautiful Pacific coast, Atlantic coast, that’s the continental United States. You don’t need more states. We’re not the British Empire. Are they trying to turn us into the British Empire? And what is Puerto Rico anyway?"

Wow this season is very average, and I feel that the shows best years are behind them. Don't get me wrong, there are funny parts in every show, but the humor feels forced this year between the cast, the stories are getting a tad ridiculous, and this is suppose to be a show about nothing! I still faithfully watch it every Sunday, cause it is still better then most crap on TV, but if you get a chance watch the reruns every night on HBO Comedy at 7:30, and it shows how much this show has dipped in the past few years.

I just caught an episode from season 2 where Larry was concerned about his limo driver, and got caught trying to bring a fork out to him. I had forgotten about that episode, and thought it was odd that they basically reused the driver concern storyline in this episode.

I'm loving this season. I'm the exact way about those Freak Books.
I'm sure if people saw this season first they'd think it was brilliant, it's just by now everyone knows the formula. That's why shows should get out when they're on top.

Limo driver getting trashed in Danson's house was hilarious. Even better when Danson then decided to give Larry the boot. I like this season so far. It's the funniest thing going on tv right now.
