They're in New York now. This should be good. Can't wait.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

That annoying guy from that one original show! How kewl!

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Who was the actress playing the woman next to Larry on the plane? She looked familiar.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Samantha Mathis

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

At least Leon is finally back next week in Episode 7. Good grief, I think he's been gone since the second show of the season.

This one was certainly amusing but not hilarious.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Yeah, I agree Throwing Cooper, aside from the first and last few minutes, it was fairly uneven. The Gervais stuff was a real letdown.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Eh I liked it. Maybe not as strong as last week's episode but it still had some funny moments. I liked the Gervais stuff but it seems like they could do more which they hopefully will next week. I liked the ending scene with Larry attacking the purse snatcher with the bread :lol:. The beginning stuff was good too on the plane and Larry tripping into the drunk guy and "saving" the stewardess. The snoopy waiter was good too.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

I really liked it. I thought Gervais was great ("Seinfeld. Had that laugh track, to remind me when to laugh"). Also liked the dinner party, Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock ("I don't even remember how to write in cursive anymore").

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Larry did this plot on Seinfeld in one of the early seasons. It was the Pez Dispenser Episode where Elaine was laughing because Jerry put a pez dispenser on her seat during George's girlfriends piano recital, and she never owned up to it. Finally, Georges girlfriend recognized Elaine's laugh and knew it was her who was laughing.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

That was a great episode (laugh track & all). Never forget that Tweety Bird Pez.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

i remember reading in an earlier thread a few weeks ago people talking about nudity and how its never been shown on the show. i was watching season 2 the other day and larry was watching a porn and they showed tits. maybe it was brought up after i read the thread but i dont feel like searching for it.

also this episode was good, nothing special. its gonna be hard to top the first 3 amazing episodes of this season though. gervais had a few funny parts but i thought he would be better.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Not the best of the season, but still very good. I would kill to watch the outtakes from the Ricky Gervais scenes. You know he and Larry must have had a blast.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Pretty funny episode. I liked how this episode picked right up where last weeks ended with Larry still eating Pink Berry and offering some to the woman next to him. :lol: The Gervais stuff was good too.

Looking forward to seeing Leon return next week!

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

I thought of that episode right away as well. Although in this case it really was a very small part of the episode.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Dang, where has she been all these years? Last I saw her was as Frank Castle's wife in the 2004 Punisher movie.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Wow, barely recognized Samantha Mathis in this. Anyway, decent episode -- several laughs, but not one of the season's strongest.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

I expected more out of Gervais being on the show, kinda letdown.

The ending bread beatdown was awesome, though.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

He reminded me of "The Sidler" since I recently saw that episode of Seinfeld.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

This episode was alright, had some good chuckles. Gervais wasn't as funny as he normally is.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

I really enjoyed this episode, just behind Pal. Chicken in terms of hilarious. I liked how Susie was Susie constantly busting Larry's balls about the seating arrangement, saving the stewardess, gloating over Gervais's "star power" and his show was better than Seinfeld to his face. Ricky was his smug superior self to Larry (as expected). I also like how Larry was so sly about bringing bread instead of wine to dinner parties like it's "his" thing to do, and of course Susie harped on him about it anyway (no good deed...). A-

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

While you're correct, I always associate Parnell with "Merv The Perv" Watson from his SNL days.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

Can't believe there are only 4 eps left.

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

You make it sound like Larry announced that this is the end of Curb

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm -- "The Hero" -- 8/14/11
 

I'm trying to upgrade small talk to medium talk.
