I could never watch more than 5 minutes of this show without developing this itch to smash Larry in the face before I gouge my eyes out. Clearly it’s me.
Now show some real courage and wear a yellow badge and dogtags to show your solidarity with the Israeli hostages held by Palestinian terrorists. Always sweat the big stuff.
Larry b---- the hot Palestinian chick who promises to "f--- the Jew out of you." Why? Because the male sex organ doesn't care about national boundaries, it simply needs to be satiated. Comic genius.
I will keep this brief. I have made the same point to many people (several who have agreed with me): the show has basically sucked since beginning in season five.
As far as I'm concerned, Larry David is a one trick pony. His series, over the years, became less funny and more formulaic and predictable. It became so painful to watch, I had to stop viewing it years ago. How somebody could have extended a career by being boorish was beyond my pay grade. In all honesty, power outages during the viewing of his show were welcome.
I've always been a fan of Curb but probably went on one season too long. Teaming up with MSNBC was a bit much. I wouldn't be surprised if it came back for another season it always does.
I think you have forgotten that Larry had no knowledge of this law and that he simply handed the bottle of water to someone he knew. Only when the outside world starting treating him like a hero did he role with it. You give the character too much credit.
Larry David is brilliant, and I’ve long enjoyed his unique takes on the human condition. But his comedy is running out of gas in the 12th season. The comic situations seem more contrived, with too many focused on adolescent vulgarities. How many jokes about genitalia and oral sex do we need? His friend Jerry Seinfeld had it right: go out when you’re on top, before you run out of ideas.

This is a beautiful homage, and I've watched every episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. But Frasier was a masterpiece, and I reference it all the time!
"Larry, thank you for your service"

Great article about a great show. Many of these comments serve to remind me that comedy can be difficult for some people. Oh well… not gonna sweat it.

The FP can do better than this. Please, get a proper reviewer who can write!

I never watched Frasier
But I’m told the kids love it
It has new life
Not that that changes your larger point
But I think it’ a thing again
I don’t mean the reboot
Actually… it probably explains the reboot
Actually, Frazier, not the reboot, has aged pretty well.

I always like CYE. Reminds me of a R-rated version of Seinfeld.
Don’t like climate change? Buy a Prius and shut up!
A little too mean spirited for me.
