1. I love that show.
The thing I always tell people about the show is that the first few times you watch it you think "Oh my god Larry you douchebag!!!" but after a couple of repeated viewings you kind of begin to empathize with Larry and its like "holy crap, I've been in the exact same situation!".

6. Not just Yea, but HELL YEA.
The only comedy currently airing that comes close is Sunny.

18. Oh yeah.
It's become bigger and louder, and they do take more chances and some of it can be weird, particularly when compared to the relative simplicity of the earlier episodes, but it's still fantastic.

If you like Curb I'd also HIGHLY recommend the British sitcom Peep Show.

17. Curb is what Seinfeld should have been.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Seinfeld, but Curb is soooo much better.

38. I love Seinfeld with all my heart and it is one of my most cherished shows
But Curb rules the world. I really dig it.

I really think they should do a reunion season. Larry can make it work. On HBO..

23. The end sequence of season six is widely believed to have been a fantasy sequence
At least it's widely believed by me.

39. I think it'll most likely be Larry as a bachelor in season 7
As he is a bachelor in real life now.

My season long story arc idea for season 7 was that Jeff talks Larry into being on some sort of Celebrity version of the Bachelor TV show.

...you have very nice manners and can't stand Larry's behavior :)

"Mommy!! The bald man is in the bathroom and there's something hard in his pants!!!!"

I can't stand that show. I don't find it the least bit funny, and I find his character to be totally obnoxious.

45. It's like watching a train wreck
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 01:10 AM by Duer 157099
you just can't look away but it's so painful to watch.

I love so many episodes, but one of my faves is the one where he picks up the hooker so he can use the carpool lane to get to the Dodger game.

And then brings pot home for his dad for his glaucoma. (Hurley was the pot dealer!)

Too funny!

46. One of those shows that I never watch on purpose.
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 01:35 AM by Iggo
But if I happen on it and I don't change the channel immediately, I watch and laugh out loud and wonder why I don't watch it regularly. It's a great show.

ETA: One of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV is when Larry's agent's wife is cussing Larry out. I don't think she likes him very much.
