I will catch up with you guys here in a year or two.
The seasons are short enough that, depending on your binge rate, you could be caught up in a couple of weeks.

Just randomly thought of Larry and Jeff laughing way too hard at the freak book and had to stifle laughter at work

When he called Larry to bitch about the painting, that was so funny

You know, I've never once watched a single episode of this show.

It's not too late to correct this mistake.

It's a show about insanely wealthy people in their 70s, I love it

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I mean yes you're right, from a thematic standpoint it is about many other things. But I did have those thoughts while watching the new season:
- Ah, l'd kind of forgotten that this show is largely about the lives of the mega-wealthy
- This must be the oldest ensemble cast on television right now
Anyway, those aren't knocks, I truly do love this show

I started watching season 1 about 18 months ago or so. I'm about halfway through season 4 now.
As this glacial pace might suggest, I don't love it.
I like it OK most of the time but it doesn't really hit for me in the way that I'd hoped.

I love this idea and wish I got more out of the actual show, as I really enjoy (and in some respects relate to) Larry as a character.
tragabigzanda wrote:It's very much the same humor as Seinfeld, just in a different setting, without a laugh track, and otherwise unencumbered by the parameters of 90s network television.
This feels like a very uncool admission but I prefer Seinfeld and think that show arguably did that idea more enjoyably, at least for me.

The humor is similar but Seinfeld also feels very different in that it's a scripted show while Curb is largely improv-based.

100 episodes in two weeks?

I agree with this. I mostly find curb funny because I specifically find Larry funny.

Same, though I've seen an episode here and there over the years.
