Has anyone else seen this show? Its quite funny.
I think it's on around 4am on Sunday nights. If anyone has a tv guide can they check when it's on next (im pretty sure its channel 9/WIN) and let me know.

i don't find his snivelling whining ways to be anything other than annoying...could be just me, also i like a bit of effort put into production, handheld can work, it also cannot
i like it. its low budget, has some great acting and have a few episodes on tape, with the one about the little girls doll being my favourite.
i didnt know it was on anymore on 9. i dont get WIN so maybe they are repeating the episodes that were on earlier in the year.

I think the handheld is part of its charm. It looks real and the skits arnt over the top. Everyday kinda stuff and the actors are good. It's not the funniest thing out but at that time of the morning, it's the next best thing to Freaks and Geeks.
The episode where the guy loses a clients account because he's wearing jeans on 'Casual Friday' and the client associates this with his work ethic is pretty funny.
As is the one where the main (whiney annoying) guy 'saves'
the jewish relative from converting is great.
Worst show ever
You cant laugh at the small things. Jackass is probably right up your alley.

- haven't seen Jackass
- don't care what my ally or allies decide to put up themselves (whoever they might be :meh: )
- nothing is up my alley, nor do I want anything shoved in there
- Curb Your Enthusiasm is strong contender for the worst show ever :|

what do you mean vital? that i might be up your alley? i don't like the dark. or do you mean that jackass, a show i've never seen is right up my alley? or was that just another assumption on your or rabblers part?
but most of all, can someone please tell me how to spell alley? or are we talking about ally's the way little johnny H does with the US?

I love this show, it has the squirm factor like The Office.
"You know, I think these directions are SHIT!!"
Didnt the main character write Seinfeld?
Yeah, plus he is the voice of Steinbrinner (Costanza's boss and the owner of the Yankees baseball team) and I noticed he also played Frank Costanza's Lawyer aka the man in the cape.

That Ep's called Krazee Eyez Killah, and the good news is that it'll be on next week, or whenever they show it next on channel 9, as it's the next in the sequence.
It's one of the best ep's ever, and I can't reccomend it highly enough.

most underrated show on telly imo. absolutely golden cameos and larry david is indeed very much like david brent in which he's annoyingly funny. the seinfeld correlation is also great, kinda fills the void.

Seinfeld wasnt subtle. It was obvious from the start of each show exactly what was going to happen.
Oh no George is being miserable/tight fisted, Jerry is being self absorbed, the bint is being a fucking bint and Kramer will run into the room say something and wander out.
All the actions of the characters will lead them getting into shit, having a bad outcome because of their terrible attitudes towards the world and they wont fucking learn so we'll have to go all through it again next week.
About as subtle as 3 double decker buses with broken exhaust systems struggling up the high street in heavy traffic.

rabbler - you got a TiVo in australia? :?
A friend of mine has Tivo. He ordered parts from the US and then got someone he knows in Melbourne to do some techy stuff and viola, Tivo is here.
There's only a few hundred people who have it in Australia and it is absolutely fantastic.
IQ or whatever Fox have, is getting close to Tivo, but its not as good yet.
Tivo is expensive to set up here, (about a grand my mate paid in total) but it seems like a fantastic investment if you have some spare funds.

Curb Your Enthusiasm makes me want to put my fist through my television, but I love it.
I've only seen a few episodes several years back. Some are pure genius, others dont really go anywhere.
Hightlight for me is when he places an obituary in the paper for his Aunt.
Due to a typo the "A" gets replaced with a "C" to read... "Dearly beloved ****"
Mega-roofles :lol:
its also on the comedy channel
not liking seinfeld
i don't watch it
the season 4 ep's when he is doing the producers are great. and the 5 wood episode, what a corker.
hahaha, I just flicked around the grounds and it's on... woo yeah.
...and in the video i'll be like this *lifts sunglasses. classic.
Im an absolute seinfeld nut.. heard a lot about this show and only just watched it last night.
I could see definite character traits of kramer and george in larry david. Funny show.
sneaky hands
10-May-05, 12:55pm
i used to like curb your enthusiasm, till i got the season 1 dvds. 4 episodes straight of larry david whining and arguing with people was enough..over it.
summary: dont watch more than one episode at a time.
Season 3 just got realised on DVD this week

This show is a great unsung hero. The fact that I get to decide what is funny is also a plus, rather than having a laugh track tell me it's funny.

that reminds me of the episode of seinfeld where the show "Jerry" was aired.
How bad was the canned laughter during that pilot. it was hillarious.
Mickstah
10-May-05, 02:02pm
Haha yes. I really don't know why shows use laugh tracks. If the show is genuinely funny, ie. Arrested Development then the program shouldn't need a laugh track.
"Larry I know you up there, I can hear you poppin those bubbles"
Obviously its put in some of the time.. as the actors would probably need re-takes when they stuff up... but a lot of these shows are filmed live arent they.. hence the laughter?

HAhahah!!
season 5 is fucking genius. the last two episodes "The Korean Bookie" and "The End" (where Larry discovers he's adopted, and he is really a gentile) are so awesome. Sacha Baron Cohen plays one of Larry David's guiding spirits.
i've got all 4-seasons in box-sets, and watched them all last year.
hilarious.
Larry David is such a talent.
and he's acting is quite remarkable, especially in Season 4's ending, with "The Producers".
:)
Season 5 is alright and the end, is a wrap-up all those people that he ticked off.
haha.

i picked that up straight away !
i love it when he thinks he's a gentile.

Haven't seen this for ages, but used to love it. I love the way it just builds and builds until it gets to the end and all comes together, by which stage you're rolling around with tears in your eyes. Might have to get the box set me thinks, i've missed many an episode.

This show's got a few funny moments but overall boring. Props for not just being another sitcom though and actually trying something outside the square.

This show is absolutely brilliant. Ive got all 5 seasons on my pc.
Saw a bit of this ages ago on comedy channel and thought it was shit, then late one night i watched a whole episode and immediately liked it after that.
The writing is genius, not that there is much "writing". Larry creates the story and most of the scenes are improvised.
Like the scene with krazy eyez killa when he sings that song to larry, larry had no idea he was gonna sing it so all his reactions were real. Plus the actor wrote the lines himself.
Still dont know whether there will be a sixth season, the last episode of season 5 looked like the series finale. Hopefully it isnt.

Mmm, you definately have to sit down and concentrate on the whole episode, it's a show that if you pay half attention to you don't get and end up saying to yourself, "what's this garbage?".

Larry Davis a genius.
it works on so many levels, eg. societal issues, religious issues, behavioural issues, sexuality, race, etc.

Not sure about Australia but amazon.co.uk is listing season 5 DVD for a September 11 release.......ooooh creepy....9/11.
I <3 this show so much. Seriously hating on the fact that I've lost my DVD player remote and can only watch the one ep per DVD :(

a friend gave me a DVD with a few episodes on it ... i had to watch them a couple of times before i got into it.
It's very dry for a US comedy ... that and it's just too Sienfeld (funny that)
My enthusiasm, has been uncurbed !
;D
(If only "Arrested Development" was brought back too)

HBO still has Enthusiasm
HBO is still enthusiastic about comedian Larry David's Emmy Award-winning series Curb Your Enthusiasm, renewing the series for a sixth season.
The fifth season was considered the last - the final episode was even titled "The End" - but after a break between seasons, David reportedly feels
prepared to write and star in 10 more episodes.
A spokeswoman for HBO said that the new season is slated to begin production in October. Series stars Cheryl Hines and Jeff Garlin, who play David's wife
and his manager, are expected to return.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is nominated for five Emmys this year, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
