Larry David: Curb Your Enthusaism

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 31-07-2002 11:40am

Yep it was good one alright.

The discussion at the start with Cheryl asking "why do I always have to initiate sex" was a clasic interchange alright.

And "Rachael" must have definitley been to the surgeon since her Hamptons days.

According to the TG4 website and Entertainment.ie, they are going straight into season 2 next week:) That means the 1st 2 eps have Jason Alexander in them

--
FYI, I saw a few eps appearing on Kazaa when i checked last night. Still only Mpegs and not DIVX's- which means very big file sizes

. But maybe we'll see some crop up soon.

Also still looking for CYE scripts- but no look yet

smuckers · 31-07-2002 12:46pm

Yeah, I was also looking out for CYE books but couldn't find any, I hope channel 4 or BBC will pick it up, they'll regret it if they don't.

Larry: my names Todd and I'm an incest survivor, I had sex with my uncle when I was 12.

smuckers · 04-08-2002 4:57pm

My brother told me that he saw on the net, this was before CYE was given a series, that there was an extented CYE with Jer and Jason in it, I would have loved to have seen that.

smuckers · 07-08-2002 8:59am

Excellent stuff loved the meeting between Jason and LD, also the cut off time was brought up again, GTS Great Tremendous speed lol, also why didn’t Richard Lewis just let Larry look at the tag?

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 07-08-2002 3:18pm

One of the best so far over the 2 seasons.
The Jason / Larry argument was pretty class, but once he said he was a "schmuck" you could see it where it was going to end up !!

"So what I once stole a tape from a girls answering machine...
So what I once ate an eclair that was in the trash"

--
Interesting question...
Apart from the last show of season 1, we have hardly seen Larry Cheryl be intimate in anyway. I mean they dont even hold hands, put an arm around each other or "snuiggle" in bed and there has been a bed scene in almost every ep so far. Maybe its because Larry insists on wearing "an athletic sweat suit" and socks in bed

I dont know. Any thoughts!?

smuckers · 08-08-2002 9:03am

Perhaps, lol wearing a sweatsuit eating potatoe chips and cookies watching Maurie haha.:)

I dunno.
I felt sorry for Larry when RL wouldnt leave him alone. I dont like him...never have. And I'm sure he is high maintenance

smuckers · 10-08-2002 7:06pm

I'd love to see The Pants Tent, it sounds hilarious, I was watching Porno Gill and Interior Decorator earlier poor Larry you have to feel sorry for him in the latter.:)

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 10-08-2002 9:47pm

I missed the first 3 but it sounds good...

Episode 1: "The Pants Tent"
Directed by Robert B. Weide. An innocent "bunch-up" in Larry's trousers gives rise to a misunderstanding with Cheryl's friend Nancy at the movies - where Larry also offends the new girlfriend of pal Richard Lewis. During a phone call to Jeff, Larry jokingly refers to his wife as "Hitler," not realizing he's on a speaker phone with Jeff's outraged parents listening in. Larry runs into more trouble when he gives his wife a bogus explanation as to why Jeff has left a message of apology on their answering machine - with comedienne Kathy Griffin unwittingly blowing his cover. Guest stars: Richard Lewis (himself), Kathy Griffin (herself), Susie Essman (Susie), Robin Ruzan (Nancy), Sofia Milos (Sofia), Antoinette Spolar (Jennifer), Mina Kolb (Jeff's mother), Louis Nye (Jeff's father), Tucker Smallwood (Mama's Boy restaurant owner), Laurel Moglen (hostess). First aired 10/15/01.

Article about the 3rd Season...
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/ae/tv/1527328

David, as you may know, is the co-creator of Seinfeld, and he freely admits that the George Costanza character was his alter ego.
Curb is very much an extension of Seinfeld. David plays himself, the peevish co-creator of Seinfeld, kicking around Los Angeles interacting in mostly improvisational ways with show-biz cronies and his agent.

smuckers · 14-08-2002 9:23am

Very funny, I loved the whole as fetish thing very Sein related especially when he was referred to as the Assman I also loved when Larry explained to the kids that Wrestling was fixed you could see the joy in him while saying it.:D

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 14-08-2002 10:09am

Another good one. I know I like something when I sit watching the TV with a grin from ear to ear.

I did love the kinky sex discussion with Jeff, when Larry said he tells Cheryl nothing and treats her like an aquaintance. And then he said the most kinkiest thing he has ever done in bed is be on the bottom:D

--
Jason was underutilised unfortunatley

smuckers · 14-08-2002 4:53pm

True but I still loved the fight they had regarding where the meeting should take place.

smuckers · 21-08-2002 9:09am

Excellent last night, loved the whole golfer clothes quarrel with Cliff, also The Trick or Treat part was hilarious also but the best bit was his feud with the jewish guy, loved it when Larry got his revenge in the end.

smuckers · 21-08-2002 7:44pm

Larry: “Judaism, Judaism where are you”?

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 21-08-2002 11:41pm

I loved the bit where he completely dissects the menu.
I want this but not that, does that have this if so no...
I do that all the time

And then he investigates the history of the Cobb Salad.

--
It looked so weird to see Larry in Golf Clothes alright

--
The Wagner bit was good as well...
"You know what you are...You're a self-loathing Jew"

--
Excellent stuff (Again)

smuckers · 22-08-2002 9:08am

Speaking of Cobb Salad
http://whatscookingamerica.net/Salad/CobbSalad.htm

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 22-08-2002 10:07am

[I know I'm sad...]

I actually looked up while I was watching it when they said it was invented in the Drake in Chicago, but couldn't find any mention of it invented there. This was the first page I found that confirmed the Bob Cobb thing...

maybe we're taking our CYE fanaticism a little too far:p

smuckers · 22-08-2002 4:19pm

Hehe we're just fans thats all nothing wrong with that.

Jer: "You can't cast dispersions over somebody wearing a cape, Superman wears a cape and I'll be dammed if I'm going to stand here and let you insult Superman
George: "Alright Supermans the exception"

smuckers · 28-08-2002 12:10pm

On top form once again loved the conversation regarding going for a drink and then going for a meal and a drink again, in a way I agree with Cheryl its an old custom and there was no need for Larry to get odd over the situation but hey what else do we expect from Mr David? that was a topped by the dentist unwittingly thinking he’s a wife beater and offending the women by screaming at the guy at the poker game c***t!!!!!!!!!.
nice to see Julia again.

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 28-08-2002 5:19pm

/I've let the team down/

I went out to the pub to watch the Man Ushíted match last night and forgot to set the video:mad:

Maybe I'll "even steven" a repeat in the States soon

I've been meaning to have a look at this show for a while and I just happened to flip over last night and catch the poker game bit. "You c**t. You are such a c**t!" Had to laugh at that and the reaction around the table afterwards. And then heading out to the car: "Hmmm, in retrospect maybe I should have said p**sy!" (as if that would have been any less offensive! lol)

I'll definitely have to watch this show from now on.

P.S. Oh yeah, you're right smuckers, nice to see Julia again and damn if she didn't look fine last night!

smuckers · 04-09-2002 9:11am

Quite good but I have seen better, loved the discussion over waiting for the other person to eat I agree with Larry why is there a need to wait for the other persons food? What would have been even better would be him discussing it with Cheryl later on she was underused this week apart from The Beach scene, why didn’t RL and Larry go over there story about breaking up with the shrink before hand? In a way it was similar to George and Elaine concocting their story concerning Elaine’s imaginary boyfriend in The Cadillac.

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 05-09-2002 1:17pm

Just watched it this morning.

Thought it was good. I knew the Groats kid would attack Larry!!
I loved the Bit when they pretend they were talking about Scientology and Larry starts yapping about "BattleField Earth"

Only a few more left in Season 2.
Wonder will TG4 start into Season 3 straight away!?

smuckers · 05-09-2002 3:40pm

Maybe but when they finish season 2 season 3 will still be going on in The US.
I see that BBC 4 have picked it up hopefully BBC 2 will get it.

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 05-09-2002 4:02pm

Jees I must have been losing the run of myself there for a minute...

Sure the 3rd Season is only starting on HBO in the US soon. On that basis it will prolly be into next year before tg4 get it. But maybe BBC might be showing re-runs in the mean time

smuckers · 07-09-2002 6:24pm

I was reading on the HBO site the ppl discussing the eps and most of the people love it, one person made an interesting point regarding the theme music he said it was like The Third Man in a way it is. Looking back at the first season I think Ted and Mary was the most heart warming episode, very funny but you take an episode like Porno Gill which pushed the boundries to hilarious effect.

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 07-09-2002 7:28pm

Talking about boundaries...

What about Survivors of Incest :eek:

--BTW, heres an article from the Guradian confirming CYE will be on BBC 4 soon...

smuckers · 11-09-2002 1:28pm

Excellent stuff last night has to rank up with the best of them so far. The best part was the causal clothes day debate very similar to George dressing upon what mood he is in The Trip pt 1. Once again the downfall of Larry occurred when he had to pay the 5,000 to the acupuncturist.

Cheryl: “You were being a pussy”

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 13-09-2002 10:16pm

Another goodin. Have there been any bad ones yet!?

I used to be really for the casual clothes in work thing but I think it is a bit unprofessional now !! I love the bit when th guy called him a cowboy and starts talking bout the rodeo.

And how did that accupunturist get that doll of a wife...I acks ya;)
