Glad to see Leon is on this episode.

FYI, this episode is about 3 or 4 minutes longer than normal according to HBO website. Don't know if that will affect anyone who is recording the show.

I think this episode has become one of my favorites of this series.

Leon using the glasses and Larry's facial expression when Susie was in the car was absolutely fucking hysterical!

And I know I couldn't have been the only one that was hoping to see Buckner not catch the baby.

Great episode

Oh man, the Buckner stuff was awesome

Loved his " He owes me one" comment about Mookie Wilson

The George Lucas using prostitutes talk and Larry's face while giving Suzie the ride

Loved Leon saying he could get a whole new class of bitches because he's wearing the glasses.

Fantastic episode of CYE. *Definitely one of the best ever. *Hope George Lucas doesn't sue. And I loved when Larry said that he hoped there was no afterlife, plus the facial expressions in the car with Susie.

What a great episode. There were a lot of great moments, but Susie in Larry's car had me nearly out of breath from laughing so hard.

The Mister Softee jingle was featured on tonight’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and I can’t get it out of my head. I looked it up—there are lyrics! Maybe typing them out here will help me forget the song.

Here comes Mister Softee
The soft ice cream man.
The creamiest, dreamiest soft ice cream,
You get from Mister Softee.
For a refreshing delight supreme
look for Mister Softee.

My milkshakes and my sundaes
And my cones are such a treat.
Listen for my store on wheels
ding-a-ling down the street.
The creamiest dreamiest soft ice cream,
you get from Mister Softee.

Well I guess my question is answered, the coach of Larry's team has to be the guy who does Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

I also liked the cameo by Chief Feinberg from Rescue Me.

Yeah, that's Robert Smigel, he did the SNL TV Funhouse stuff and the show on Comedy Central, amongst other things.

Definitely in the top 5 of all Curb; I wish the therapist was a regular on Curb because they played well off of each other.

Absolutely hilarious episode. The third pantheon episode of the season along with Palistinian Chicken and Vow of Silence. Well done.

And Larry's right about the glasses. Who knew?

Once again, Leon with the line of the episode: "You know what this car is? This car is the other man!"

Someone had to be high as a kite when they wrote that.

A Charlie Harper jingle by chance?

Really funny episode this week. Most of this season has been really good if you ask me and it's just flown by. A shame that next week is already the season finale. I've really enjoyed the New York setting and wouldn't mind if they kept the show there instead, although I suppose if only Larry moved there it wouldn't be as much fun without the supporting cast. Leon and Larry together are always gold, and the scene with Larry and Susie in the car was hilarious too.

I thought it was a great episode. I love how Leon stole the Mookie Wilson ball.

Sad to see the season already ending. I wish we would have had more Richard Lewis this season, but still a great one nonetheless.

Very funny episode - even with me seeing a few of the setups coming from a mile away.

I loved both Suzie's and Larry's reaction in the car, and it was perfect that the camera kept panning back and forth between them. I had quite the laugh over it.
