Loved it. The makeout scene was my least favorite part, much too contrived, but other than that it was hilarious. Some classic stuff.

Are you a woman, by any chance?
What's difficult to understand? Last week he was cruel. This week he wasn't.

Probably my favorite episode of the entire series.

Every episode I've at least chuckled at and most had had some really funny parts, but for me, the entire episode was absolute gold.

I wouldn't call it my favorite of the series, but it's easily the best episode that has aired this season. Hell, it's probably better than almost every episode from seasons 5 and 6, too.

Off the top of my head I just can't think of any other episodes that made me laugh as much as this one.

Not really sure what it was, but I rolling the entire time.

I thought last week's episode and this week's episode were both good, but not as good as the ones earlier in the season.

I guess Guy Caballero was onto something when he used a wheelchair only for the extra respect he got from it. Seeing Larry enjoying the rub he got from one was hysterical.

Hilarious episode all the way through, not a scene wasted. This is may end up being my favorite season of the entire series.

I'm in agreement with most, a truly riotous eppie from beginning to end. However, calling it "the best ever" or even "one of the best" is something I wouldn't do. I wouldn't place this one in my Top 10. One of the best among recent seasons, however.

Best part for me was Larry carrying Denise up the stairs. The cut from deciding what to do to Larry screaming in agony made me laugh very loudly.

I thought they might have had a reveal that showed Denise was actually faking it. She seemed to be enjoying the perks as much as Larry.

Not trying to argue at all, but would you mind listing your top 10 Curb episodes?

Obviously everybody is different, but I just thought this episode was hilarious from beginning to end and I'm having a hard time thinking of previous episodes that I liked better. Maybe your list would jog my memory.

Sometimes I get the impression that it's somehow "wrong" to think that a current episode of any show could ever be better than older episodes.

I was very pleased with this episode....much better than the last few. Love seeing Leon in scenes, and the wheelies were great!

I have to say that this season CYE is pretty average. Don't get me wrong, there are still some parts of each show where I fall off my seat, but it really seems forced this year. Before you would have great episodes that would be funny throughout, now it just has a few funny parts.

I am still looking forward to the Seinfeld Reunion, but I have noticed that there is too many things that are taken from Seinfeld and a few things from early CYE episodes.

Oh well, Leon is worth the wait every week!

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm - "Denise Handicap" - 10/18/09

Other than Cheryl, is "Denise Handicapped" the only other woman that Larry has had sex with on the show? I know that he had the 10th anniversary gift "free ride" from Cheryl in S5, but I don't recall him ever getting his Schmekel wet. He didn't get any from Lucy Lawless, nor his old flame (Sherry Stringfield) due to her current bf's cockblock. Can someone else correct or confirm?

Well, I don't think it was ever definitively established that they had sex by direct reference. However, it could be inferred they did, as Larry considered it to be a relationship he had to squirm to get out of. Would've been nice to see some action or subsequent pillow talk just for confirmation of consummation.

I just re watched this episode. Hilarious but i found a plot hole. The scene when Denise called and Leon said she didn't leave her number. Pretty sure Caller ID is in most all phones nowadays and for Larry to not have one seems far fetched.

Many people block their phone number.
