My favorite CYE episode would have to be the one where Larry picks up the prostitute so he can get to the baseball game quicker via the carpool lane. Brilliant episode! Many of them are brilliant!

Not only does he pick up the prostitute but they get high with his dad. the best episode hands down.

Larry David, the show's creator, grew up in the same building development as me. He was four years older so I really didn't know him but he incorporated some of the residents into "Seinfeld" episodes (minor mentions).

I've watched "CYE" a few times, and even though I find it funny I just can't seem to really get into it. (I did see the prostitute show and thought it was hilarious, too).

Yes, both major and minor stars. As one of the previous posts stated, many are minor characters that appeared in Seinfeld. Others are Ted Danson, Shaquille O'Neill, Joan Rivers, Diane Keaton to name but a few. The Seinfeld main characters, save Michael Richards, have all made at least one cameo.

Anybody else think that LD's agent on the show, Jeff, looks very much like Mike Golic of EPSN Mike & Mike fame?

I watched the hour-long pilot earlier. I was tired, but I found it incredibly underwhelming; I appreciated the intertextuality, even if it was more explicit and obvious than the subsequent series. I don't know if this was the intention, but most of it just simply wasn't funny.

My friend let me borrow season one. I forgot to watch the pilot. But your assessment is essentially how he described it - more of a documentary than an actual episode and not all that funny.

Wait until you see "The Doll" in Season 2. Priceless.

I liked the pilot.

The part where HBO presents to Larry the possible setups for the stage of his comedy tour is really funny

^^^ "If I ever look like that, please just kill me"

This show is hilarious. This is me, everytime I watch an episode:

There are so many great episodes, it is hard for me to name my favorite ... as Michael Bolten said in Office Space about his favorite Michael Bolten album, "I guess, I sorta like 'em all."

I agree - every episode has its laugh out loud moments. I just finished Season 3 where Larry went to the doctor because he had a pubic hair caught in his throat and spent the entire episode trying to cough it up. In the finale, he hired a chef with Turrets to run his new restaurant. The problem being that the chef cooked right in front of everybody.

For those who care- Season 5 is coming out on dvd August 1st.

Man, Season 5 got trashed, but I liked it. I mean, you had a finale where David finally does something un-selfish, and guess what? Being geneous doesn't pay!

But man, he taught me a good lesson: Never argue with Moses on how to organize HBO DVDs.

I'll be there!

I don't have HBO but was wondering if anyone heard when Season 6 will start airing. I heard that they began filming in October of last year.

I was just looking at Best Buy to see when Season 6 will be released on DVD. I found a great deal: $14 each for seasons 1-5. They are regularly $35 each. So it was time for an early Christmas present to myself!

Season 6 is being released at the end of January.

I enjoy this show.I love the subtle comedy.
It's not in the same league as Seinfeld,but that being said,it is a completely different show.

Whisper

Here's a little taste from this season. Larry & his wife adopt a family whose house was severely damaged in a hurricane. Larry and one of the guys staying with him, named Leon, have identical phones that get in the wrong hands. Leon grabs Larry's and vice versa, both to disastrous and hilarious results.

phone swap

I think this show is better than "Seinfeld" and I love the latter.

hahaha thanks for the link Goombah.

I guess i'm more familiar with Seinfeld,But i do enjoy CYE a lot.Thanks again for the link.

According to this site, Season 7 will begin production in December and then air sometime in 2009.

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Season 7 Coming in 2009

I can't wait to see what crazy ideas Larry has come up with again. I hope Leon is back and I will be interested to see if Larry and his wife get back together.

Time to order HBO again. Season 7 begins September 20th. HBO has a short clip on the show's homepage from the upcoming season. I'm ready to laugh my ass off again.

'Seinfeld' reunion comes together on new season of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'

Big news, "Curb" fans. I just listened to an interview with Jeff Garlin and he confirmed to Dennis Miller that Larry is hard at work writing Season 8!

It's funny, I just rewatched all of season 5 last week. "The Ski Lift" might be the funniest television episode in the history of the medium.

SPOILER ALERT: Watching Larry cough and grunt while pretending to be an Orthodox Jew, all in order to con a genuinely devout man into moving Richard up on the kidney donor list, was beyond brilliant. And the audio-sight gag at the end, when Larry's cell phone starts ringing from the nurse's "unusually large vagina," almost gave me a heart attack the first time I saw it. Literally. I could NOT stop laughing. My cheeks were purple and my wife thought I was gonna have to go to Emergency!

I still love Jerry, but the more I watch "Curb," the more I become convinced that Larry was the true genius behind "Seinfeld."

Anyway, here's the Jeff Garlin audio: http://multimedia.play.it/m/audio/29164928/jeff-garlin-interview.htm

FUCK HUGH!

Fuck Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!

I heard Jeff last week on the radio stating that he and LD were already writing. That is good news. Next season needs more Susie, Richard Lewis and Bam Bam Funkhouser. And tons of Leon!

I'm with you Pizza Boy - I think "Curb" shows that Larry is the comedic genius. Jerry's great, but Larry is the driving force.

Oh it's not inside the box, it's not inside the box...

Larry's reaction is priceless in this scene:

Season 8 filming is under way, Goom. And most of it will take place here in New York. Who needs Lebron James? We have Larry David!

'Curb' ball

Larry, Rosie battle heat in Central Park

By MICHAEL STARR, NY Post

Leave it to sad-sack Larry David to pick the hottest day in years to shoot some scenes for next season’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

That’s David, Rosie O’Donnell and “Curb” co-star Jeff Garlin (l-r)in Central Park on Tuesday, wearing softball uniforms during an athletic shoot for “Curb,” which will be set mostly in New York City for the first time in show history.

David and Garlin wore T-shirts with “Yari’s Autonomics” emblazoned across the front, and could be seen tossing a softball to each other and to O’Donnell, on a day when temperatures reached a sizzling (and record) 103 degrees.

David, in some other scenes shot near Central Park, was dressed in his regular “Curb” uniform (sports jacket, Chinos and tennis shoes) gabbing with series regular Wanda Sykes.

Ah, Jeff Garlin, funny Chicago boy. He often appears on WGN radio with Garry Meier when he is back in town. He sang "Take me out to the Ballgame" at a Cubs game in May. He was talking about the upcoming season andit sounded great. BTW, am I the only one who thinks Cheryl Hines is gorgeous,or what?

I'd drink her bathwater.
