TV: Thank you Larry!

I know I'm in the minority among fans of Curb Your Enthusiasm for thinking this, but in my opinion the just concluded Season 5 may have been the best season of the show yet. It certainly was the most over the top and the sickest. It felt like Larry David and Jeff Garlin wanted to see just how far they could take the show this year, and I think they succeeded, cause they sure let loose with some crazy, crazy shit. And now that Arrested Development finds it's days of existence on Fox sadly numbered, I guess CYE will soon be all alone as the funniest show on tv.

I hadn't much enjoyed this season of Curb until last night's season finale. Very, very funny sh-t!

They pulled out all the stops.

Ali G and Dustin Hoffman as "Larry's guys" in heaven, was a hoot...

I'd still give CYE Season 5 a chance when the dvd comes out Steve, or tivo it when HBO runs all the episodes on New Year's Eve. Your assessment of this season is correct, everyone on the show this year was nuts, except for Cheryl of course, but I think that's the statement Larry was trying to make. At least see the finale, it's a trip!

And boy have I missed the boat on this Earl show. Way too late to jump in now, but I'll definitely be checking it out when it comes out on dvd, cause way too many people like you whose opinions I trust are raving about it.
