Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 8

[21]

Now. So excited.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Gary Cole as the Dodgers' owner. Awesome.

 

[Human_Paraquat]

Has there been a more paralyzingly awkward moment in television history than Larry David giving a 13-year-old who's having her first period instructions on how to use a tampon?

Gary Cole as the Dodgers' owner. Awesome.

The funny thing about that is the name "Joe O'Donnell" was also the name of a potential buyer of the Red Sox, like McCort was. I wonder if Larry knew that and made it an inside joke?

Good lord, no. That was crazy.

The girl also plays Loretta in Justified. Good kid actor.

 

[shockey]

from start to finish, brilliant... brilliant... brilliant epiisode.

BRILLIANT!! ;D 8) ;D 8)

 

[Webster]

I got Sweded.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Absolutely brilliant episode.

Rich Eisen's podcast this week is all "Curb," including a one-on-one with Larry David, an interview with several of the writers (including Alec Berg) and a roundtable featuring LD, Jeff Garlin, Bob Einstein/Super Dave and JB Smoove.

Great stuff.

That was great. Larry David seems like a good guy and the writers were very interesting.

The roundtable was a little odd -- JB Smoove and Super Dave are both very funny, very strange people. It would seem tough to have either of them follow directions very well. Garlin seemed like a bit of a prick (but I think he was the one who planned the HBO special in the first place)

Garlin's a regular guest on Cowherd's show and some other shows I frequent, and he's usually very good. Super Dave was the one who kept sending things off the rails with his inane interruptions. But the roundtable was worth plowing through just for the last five minutes.

The second episode was very good -- not great.

The premise of the women not moving at the grocery store paid off in the end with Richard Lewis,but I like the social situations to be a little less contrived than that.

Larry at the safe house was gold. And the hospital scene was funny as well -- but I like it better when they don't describe the Leon/Larry living arrangement, just that they let it be.

Yeah, I agree. There's no way a person would not just move three feet to the left or right when they saw he wanted into that ice cream cooler.

Kinda reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where the hospital refused to pay for damage to George's car when the patient committed suicide by jumping on top of it. Any hospital would have paid to fix the car. It just made no sense.

 

[Elliotte Friedman]

Tonight's episode was an all-timer. Holy smokes, was that incredible.

 

[Smasher_Sloan]

Is there some place I can illegally watch the new episodes?

I was starting to think the same shtick had worn too thin, and tonight's episode made me LOL. Seriously. I was laughing hard during the scene with Super Dave in front of the chicken place.

 

[Matt Stephens]

LOL, Janice!

Unlike the classic episode where George pulled a golf ball out of a whale's blowhole, which made perfect sense...

The full story's not online but the new Rolling Stone has a great piece on David. Online they have some other interesting tidbits, though.

But the story's worth checking out if you're at a newsstand (if your city still has those). He's basically the character on the show, except, as he says, he couldn't possibly act like he does in real life. It's his Superman. And a lot of insight from his ex-wife, whom he's still on good terms with.

Still waiting for somebody to bust out an Officer Judy reference.
