Wesley Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So the new series started this weekend. Anyone watch it? I thought it was fantastic, such a great start to a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It was a solid opener but lacked the roundness it usually offers, the ends did not tie up as well as it usually does for me. hilarious through out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I liked it, but I wonder how Larry David is planning on topping last season. Also, way to undo the happy ending within the first two minutes. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Not yet but plan to tonight! I love Curb such a big part of my life and bizarrely Larry David (indirectly of course) is sort of the reason me and my girlfriend ended up together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I bought the boxset of seasons 1-7 a couple of weeks ago. I'm currently working my way through that and it's pretty good Pretty.... pretty... good Before the purchase, I had only seen episodes from season 6 and 7 so was a little worried that I might not like the earlier episodes quite as much. Thankfully, I was very wrong It'll be a while before I get to the new season, I'm sure.. but it'll no doubt be worth watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite moment from the early seasons has to be the bit in the first season (I believe that's where it is) where they're at the screening and Larry puts the bottle of water down his trousers. Everything after that moment is hilarious Watched the premiere last night and thought it was good. Looking forward to seeing the other kinds of awkward moments Larry puts himself in over the course of the season, although it'd be hard pushed to go beyond the main one in this episode.

Magnus Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 So... um. Anyone else kind of disappointed in this season? One of the things I really liked about seasons two and up was that they all had overarching storylines. This season was just "Larry spends half the season doing nothing in Los Angeles and then he spends the second half of the season doing nothing in New York". I didn't think he'd be able to top the Seinfeld reunion arch, but this was just... not good. That said, individually most of the episodes were good. Not Curb Your Enthusiasm at its best, but entertaining nonetheless. I really miss Cheryl, though. Way too little of her this season and waaay too much of Jeff's wife.

I agree there have been some great stand out scenes but as a whole it was sorely lacking. I think at this point its fair to say he should have ended it with the Seinfeld reunion episode. If they are insistent on sending Larry to new places to keep it interesting hell send him to England for some absurd reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I enjoyed the entire season. Palestinian Chicken is a godly episode no matter what you might think. I was worried slightly at the beginning but he managed to pull off another great season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Eight seasons and as strong as ever. EDIT: Although I did miss some of the story-ness of it, I never thought that was Curb's strongest point anyway. As for "them" sending Larry places to keep it interested, who are "they"? This thing is largest an LD affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
