  • Now that Curb Your Enthusiasm has been on the air for almost a quarter century, it's a wonder how Larry David was able to create not one, but two shows about nothing. Curb Your Enthusiasm is known today for Larry David's quirky humor, specific tastes, and endless rants about mundane life. But this specific moment in Curb Your Enthusiasm is what took the show from good, to one of the best comedies HBO has ever produced.

The bad finger, the holding the door at the elevator only to be blocked off in the hall by that same person. The whole mix up with the car park attendants, the fight with the interior decorator...flawless.

    I love the Rat Dog episode. The best episodes are the ones where he really brings it all together at the end and you can't see it all happening. A lot of the time it's a lot of random stuff that he's written down in his notebook but don't really amount to anything. It is an uneven show but even the worst episodes usually have something to recommend them, which is more than you can say for most TV series.

    There’s a slight misconception about being “improvised” shows. They have scripts or at least a general layout of one.
    During a take, if someone says something good, the following takes will include that dialogue, and they’ll build on it.
    It’s not like they say something on the fly in one take, and it makes the show. They’ll rehearse it dozens of times.
    It’s still great, but I hate when they call shows improvs.

    Even though it hasn’t been a show that aired every year, I still think it may be the most consistently great, for longer than any show had ever been.
    25 years, since it started.
    26, if one counts the special.
    Six year hiatus, and it still hilarious.
    I’m becoming a post divorce guy, after long saying pre divorce was better. 🤓

    Awkwardness and humiliation are always the funniest thing, Seinfeld and Curb proved this

    Actually Sammi is the name of Jeff and Susie's daughter. The little girl in this episode was named Tara.

    Also, a call back joke really is generally something from a previous episode. Not earlier in the same episode.

    The daughter’s name was Tara, Sammi is Jeff’s daughter. Also you said “Julia Louise Dreyfus”, have you ever seen either Curb or Seinfeld?
