Anyone watching this 30 min comedy series on a Wednesday/Friday(repeat)/Sunday(repeat) evening? He plays Rick Spleen a stand-up comic (suprise!) who allows life to get on top of him in a Larry David sort of way. More polished and scripted than Curb Your Enthusiam it works pretty well as Spleen takes the route of least…

Yeah, I saw the first episode and I love it. British comedy is way better than American stuff.

Bit of a sweeping statement, no? In my opinion, Curb Your Enthusiasm is better than anything, save perhaps Peep Show, to come out of Britain in terms of comedy in recent times.
