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

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

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.

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

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
. 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.

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").

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.

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.

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.

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.
The Gervais stuff was good too.
Looking forward to seeing Leon return next week!

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

I expected more out of Gervais being on the show, kinda letdown.
The ending bread beatdown was awesome, though.

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

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-

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

Can't believe there are only 4 eps left.

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