My friends and I get together at least once a week and watch the fantasticlyawkwardgenius called Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is a show mostly center around the retired director and writer of Seinfeld, Larry David, his family, and friends where he is in constant limbo with the unwritten rules of various situations that in the end usually screw him somehow. There are so many stars that show up throughout the show usually as themselves or characters that are very close to representing them, from Ted Danson, to Christian Slater, to Catherine O'Hara (who plays a character that doesn't represent herself, just the crazy fictitious sister of Marty Fuckhouser). Last night, we watched one of the best episodes of latest season that's has been put on DVD, season 7, which was Officer Krupke. That character shares the same name of an officer in the hit Broadway play and movie West Side Story, which Larry David tells to the cop after singing him the song from that part of story, to which the officer replies that he has never heard that before but someone told him once to "go fuck my face". I don't want to give away anymore about that episode. This show has as many genius moments that Seinfeld ever had. It's just like if Seinfeld got a show on HBO and most of the main characters were rich. In this Season and alluding to in previous seasons that Larry David reveals that in Seinfeld, he was George Costanza. That blew my mind so much. It makes so much sense. All the situations that George found himself in and reacted the way he does, it all makes sense that it's Larry David. In this season, it slowly has a Seinfeld reunion, not just in the final episode, which is half Curb and half Seinfeld reunion. Larry David lives in my blood every day.
Favorite Quotes from Larry:
"I'd rather have the thieves than the neighbors - the thieves don't impose. Thieves just want your things, neighbors want your time."
"You're nothing without your health. Some people are nothing even with their health. I fall in that category, sometimes."
"My name is Larry David and I happen to enjoy wearing women's underpants."
