Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 10: “Larry vs. Michael J. Fox” “You know what people say about you after you guys leave the room? ‘Poor bastard.’” This was an episode of hard truths, many of which we might not be ready to face. At Johns Hopkins, my alma mater, the university motto is veritas vos liberabit, which means, the truth shall set you free. At the time I thought, “that might be a...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 9: “Mister Softee” “Man cannot compete with machinery” Wow. That was good. Well done, Larry. You started off slow, I had my doubts, but once you got going, you really got me going. Wow. I’m done now. Seriously, Larry, I was not at all impressed by the first fifteen minutes of this episode — as funny as the Mister Softee flashback was, you started off slow. It’s the...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 78: “Car Periscope” Jeff: I don’t like being told what to do. Larry: So that’s why you married Susie. You knew it was going to be good when the episode opened on an aerial shot of Larry hailing a cab with such earnestness that you want to give him a cookie; before you knew it, you were screaming at your TV, “Go get her, Larry!” as soon as...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 7: “The Bisexual” I never thought I’d be one to express this sentiment after watching an episode with these ingenious plotlines: The Female Advantage, Juicing, the Shit Bow – and yet, I feel disappointed. For instance, The Female Advantage. This was sheer brilliance, Larry. You go to some gay art show, meet a woman who actually seems interested in you, and it turns out that she gave her...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 6: “The Hero” Oh, how I’ve missed this show. I received one of the greatest compliments of my life over the weekend, when I encountered a young lady with no apparent disability and her “service” dog. After inquiring and learning that she’d trained the “service” dog herself, making it, in fact, just a dog –j my special friend cut...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 5: “The Vow of Silence” “Go ahead and squeal and you’ll rot in hell” This week’s episode will go down in television history because it epitomizes Curb’s continuous quest for social justice, and Larry David’s one-man quest to take down those who seek to victimize the innocent. This week’s target: the chat and cut. While waiting in the line for the noon 3-D IMAX showing of Harry Potter...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8. Episode 4. “The Smiley Face” Chocolate pretzels! Get the hell out of here!” In this episode Larry broaches many topics that I have personally toyed with, such as the limits by which one can lie and get away with it, and the ever present question of personal space. But most importantly he find himself wondering if he can “shit where he eats” and subsequently “eat where he shat”, an...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8. Episode 3: “Palestinian Chicken” “You know what you are? You’re a social assassin.” Larry is forced to make a lot of tough decisions this week. From simple questions of right vs. wrong to global dilemmas that have plagued Israelis and Palestinians for years. Choices must be made! But when all’s said and done Larry simply eats some delicious chicken and ruins 2 marriages (that’s a total of three on...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 2: “The Safe House” “I could be a burlesque dermatologist.” This week is all about mistaken identity. Larry continually mistakes one black man for another, he mistakes a battered woman to be a woman who can certainly take care of herself, he mistakes Richard Lewis for a guy who doesn’t love big breasts, and he, himself, is mistaken for a caring, compassionate neighbor. Richard Lewis It’s revealed early...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8: Episode 1: “The Divorce” Larry: “Looks like a great desk to get a blow job under.” Larry’s Lawyer: “That’s not why I got it but let’s call it a happy accident.” We pick up right where we left off – Larry and Cheryl have just finished watching the Seinfeld Reunion episode and we see a spark forming between them. He’s worked all of Season 7 for this moment and...
