I think Larry David is freaking comedy genius with Curb your Enthusiasm. I just watched the first three episodes and they are fantastic. Do you like it better then Seinfeld?

Do you guys think that is really Larry David's house?

I always imagined him living in New York in the Hamptons in a huge mansion.

He lives in LA??!

Seinfeld for sure. I watched CYE for the first time the other night and only found it mildly amusing *shrugs*

i think seinfeld is better...maybe just becuase it was so different when it started. although they are basically the same show, CYE is sort of just a continuation of that sort of thing.
its like a sequel. i like 'em both i feel like seinfeld has more appeal right now.
we shall see.

larry david's "george-esque" quirks seem forced, and the whole of the episodes' plots rely on those awkward setups. i think the writing was much better on seinfeld. though they both use the same themes, it seemed much more natural on seinfeld.

never heard of it, nor have HBO, I'll definately have to download some episodes though to check it out....

just read this on the site linked to...

"To keep the narrative fresh and spontaneous, Curb Your Enthusiasm is shot without a script; the cast is given scene outlines and often improvise lines as they go. The result is an unpredictable format that's unlike anything else on TV. "

Every time I watch an Episode of Sienfeld I wish I could punch Jason Alexander in the mouth. Maybe that's a tribute to his acting skills as the Character George Castanza.

On the other hand Larry David in CYE (who Alexanders Character was based) is such a mess I can't help but watch the train Wreck he portrays as his everyday life. I think what I like about CYE over Sienfeld is that Sienfeld isn't in it. I really don't like him as the main Character. I always thought the other cast members are what made Sienfeld (especially Michael Richards and the guy that plays Nueman)

it's a tough call...
CYE is easily the funniest thing on right now...but Seinfeld was good for so long.
The new season of CYE is absolutely killing me...Ben Stiller was a great addition!
