Broke down tonight and made an impulse buy

[blindzebra]

I got all five seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm on DVD.

I have tomorrow off too.

Some nice lotion and a box of tissue...wait, is that just me?

Good purchase. I have all the Curb seasons as well, and they never get old!

Speaking of great HBO series, I've just finished watching the first three seasons of The Wire on Netflix, and now I'm moving on to season one of Deadwood.

The Wire is an excellent series and I loved Deadwood.

The last I heard HBO was going to end the Deadwood series with 2 two hour movies but I haven't seen anything more on it.

And the next season of The Wire, the 5th, is the last also.

I personally have never cared for Curb but then I didn't watch Seinfeld either.

I'm dying for season 4 of the Wire to come out on video now that I'm through the first 3... but Deadwood has proved to be a good way to spend the time.

I watch one episode per night while I run on the treadmill. That way I keep myself motivated to run because I don't let myself watch the show unless I'm running. It's like my carrot at the end of a long stick! :

As for Curb... I don't see how anyone could be into it if they didn't appreciate Seinfeld even a little bit. Obviously, if you never watched Seinfeld, it wasn't from lack of exposure!

Curb is superior in many ways, but is naturally very similar in tone and attitude. And if you didn't like Seinfeld's outlook on life, you're not going to like Larry David's because they're one in the same.


Any other good TV series on DVD that anyone wants to recommend?

I have seen one episode and parts of others and just didn't find it funny.

I have seen one and a few parts of others and thought it was funny. But since I saw those when they were in the later seasons and did not know the characters I just never started watching it.

If I had all the previous seasons on DVD or they had them all on demand I would probably be a regular watcher of the show.

Have you seen anything new on Deadwood?

If you're going to pick just one episode of Curb with which to judge it, I'd recommend "Club Soda and Salt" from season 3. If you like it, I'd recommend all of season 3, which is hilarious and has one of the most hilarious -- albeit profane and obscene -- endings ever.

But Club Soda and Salt is an episode my wife and I love to watch over and over.

Other very funny individual episodes are:

Season 1: Affirmative Action
Season 3: Terrorist Attack
Season 4: The Survivor
Season 5: The Ski Lift

I have been watching Season 1 and 2 of House from NetFlix


I don't know what it is about this show, but I LOVES it.


Do yourself a favor and at least rent the first couple of DVD's from this series.


You will NOT be sorry.

I'll do that as soon as I get through Deadwood. Thanks for the tip!

I know a lot of people love that show.

Netflix is awesome... and not for renting movies but more for TV series...

We are currently on Season 4 of Curb and we can't get enough of it...

It's great to be able to watch episode after episode when the current one is still fresh in your mind. It makes it better for series like Curb (and Seinfeld) that carry jokes over from episode to episode...

We atched the entire House series until we caught up. That was awesome...

I HIGHLY recommend "Scrubs". I used to watch episodes from time to time and found it interesting. Once we rented the DVD's I found it to be one of the funniest, best written, best produced sitcom's of all time.

Watch the extras and you'll appreciate the show even more.

I think we ares starting "The Wire" next... then Deadwood...

I don't watch the show. I have seen a few bits and pieces and only one complete episode. That one episode was hysterical. Wanda Sykes kept accusing Larry of being racist. One reason was because he tried to hand his keys to a black man because he happened to be wearing a red vest and standing next to the valet stand.

Here's two funny clips... shockingly, I don't think there's any profanity in any of them:

Setup of the first one:
Larry's dad has glaucoma and Larry tries to buy marijuana (from the guy who ends up being Hurley on LOST)... hilarity ensues:

Setup of the second one:
Larry has an uncomfortable conversation with his father... nuff said:

I'm watching Curb season 3 right now. It's fantastic. I'm a huge Seinfeld fan, and I'd put this show up there with that.

I can understand how some people may not like Curb since the show pretty much revolves around the real life George Costanza. Some people may find that annoying. I like Seinfeld a little better due to the balance and interactions between the main characters.

I never would have guessed that you were a Seinfeld fan. :laugh2:


The main "turnoff" with Curb is that Larry is such an unrepentant jerk. And the show can be painfully awkward and uncomfortable at times because he's such an insensitive clod. But get beyond that, and it's hilarious.
