Loved the episode.
BTW, I've seen mentioned a few times about how Laurie David supposedly cheated on Larry with their caretaker. Are there any links to this rumor anywhere? Other than newsgroups, I've never seen it anywhere else.

Wow, Lucy Lawless looks incredible. I also thought this season has been the worst of the entire series, but this episode had me rolling. A lot of the previous episodes make more sense now, there was palpable tension between Larry and Cheryl for several of them. It'll be very interesting to see where it goes from here.

Count me in as loving this episode. Cheryl's decision surprised me, even though it shouldn't have. Leon is constantly the funniest thing going right now. That guy REALLY needs his own series. I wonder where the rest of the season is going to go from this point.
And, yes, Lawless looked fucking smokin'.

Considering past seasons, I was pretty surprised by Cheryl. It's not like Larry has changed at all. I seem to remember in Season 3 (or 4?) where they had a flashback to when they got married and Larry was trying to convince Cheryl that she couldn't possibly want to marry him, he was a terrible person, etc.

I was expecting the Black Family to choose Cheryl.

I thought season 4 was the lowpoint, so I'm surprised to hear some people not enjoying this season...I think it's been one of the best yet. Leon is hilarious... I love when the doctor tries to explain to Larry what happened, Larry's not getting it but Leon states it so matter of factly: "Twisted balls Larry"... awesome.

No offense, but I think that would be an awful series finale.

In reality, although extremely funny to watch, Larry is a terrible person and deserves to be divorced and without any friends.

Really, considering the circumstances that may have lead to certain actions, do you all think Larry is an asshole?

I can't argue that he's an asshole some of the time, but those times are when he seems to go to the extreme (like the Funkhouser memorial flowers), rather than the norm.

I've never thought Larry was an asshole, he's just a bit weird and socially inept.
And besides, he loaned that guy 10K and gave Lewis a kidney, donates to environmental groups, etc. On the surface he's a pretty stand up guy (until you get to know him).

The Tivo guy at the beginning managed to make me laugh with his limited material. Especially when he sneaked in "One of my top 5 episodes of all-time."
