Brian Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I was laughing the whole half hour tonight. So funny lines. "It would be like my last name was 'Jew'." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Damn, I forgot the premiere was tonight. Thank heavens for OnDemand and incessant HBO rebroadcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 When you watch it tomorrow, just be like, "Oh, I thought the premiere was tonight!?" You'll understand after you watch the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Totally forgot it was on last night, going to watch it tonight. Very underrated TV show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Seinfeld at its best, or Arrested Development, the long-time running gags are a hallmark of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Plus, like Seinfeld, Enthusiasm is as monolithically high-concept as a show gets. For Seinfeld, the high concept was that it was "a show about nothing". For Enthusiasm, the high concept from which all story arcs and plot twists originate is, "this guy is simultaneously the biggest schlamiel and schlamazel (= hardluck a$$hole) that ever walked the planet." With a singularly crystalized set-up like that, the running gags and utter predictability of Larry's schlamiel/schlamazel ups and downs is a big part of what makes the show so fun. For me, anyway.

To an extent yes. That's a great argument. For me though, I do not enjoy Curb nearly as much as Arrested Development and for that matter Seinfeld. Those shows all wound many stories together and were much better written. Though Curb is funny, it does not begin to approach the many levels of comedy that programs like Arrested Development and Seinfeld did.
