Synopsis:
[spoiler]In the Season Six premiere Sunday September 9 at 10 pm, Cheryl talks Larry into adopting the Blacks, a family displaced by a hurricane, and Larry invents the "perfect" excuse for missing a pair of parties.[/spoiler]
i\'ll have to catch it tomorrow, as i\'ll be watching the Giants tonight.
-
tonight?! holy shit! thanks for the heads up!
-
larry david + black people = funny
i hope wanda sykes makes an appearance (never thought i\'d say that)
-
hey yo delicious!!
-
So excited about this...
-
i took a risk...
They don\'t deserve candy and I don\'t deserve this: "Bald Asshole"? That\'s a hate crime!
-
Wanda, I have to tell you something. Krazee-Eyez is cheating on you.
How do you know?
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary told me.
-
I got rooms all ova this motha fuckaaaa
-
I was gonna get three steps, but then I was like, four is better.
-
and im gonna be all like this in the video...
:removes sunglasses>flashes the krazee eyes:
-
Wow. Nothing here yet. I liked it.
-
i thought it was realy funny...
"what are the odds?"
-
gonna have to on-demand it tonight.
to good of show not to watch.
-
I watched it on on-demand this afternoon. It was pretty funny, tho it wasn\'t as ridiculous as it could have been. I definitely liked the party excuse. I\'ll have to remember that. And the cake was classic.
I have to say Richard Lewis gets scarier and scarier looking as seasons go on.
-
I was a little disappointed, but obviously it was still entertaining and I am looking forward to the rest of the season.
Did anyone watch the program that aired afterwards, with all the interviews with injured Iraq War veterans? Tough watch.
-

yes.
i did.
this show bummed me out BIGTIME..
-
No kidding.
I took 2 Unisom and went to bed shortly after.
-
:thinks of george dubya and bites tongue:
-
i laughed my ass off at the cake. overall a very solid start to a season imo
-
why didnt u tell me i was eating a black penis?
-
Why\'d you take the balls home?
-
Anyone else see last night?? I loved the fact that Gina Gershon\'s character was in it again.
-
she looked mad hot. thought the episode was a let down tho.
-

it was good,imo.
for me,theyre even better the second and third time around..
-
might be better 2nd time. I was tired and burnt when I watched it.
-
Ooops. I forgot about it.
-
"I\'ll tell you one thing... I do like a woman with a smart ass mouth on her like that"
-
I\'d say solid episode with a weak ending. ****1/2, which was also my grade for the first episode.
-
Extraordinarily average episode. Solid start, unimpressive conclusion. Just not that many laughs, all totaled.
So far, a lukewarm season.
-
leon was fantastic this episode.
STEP IN THAT ASSHOLE!
-
good bounce back episode from last week which sucked. THis weeks eppy got some pretty hard laughs out of me though.
-
I miss HBO. Gonna have to lobby for it. Missing all the fun on this show.
-
loved the bit with the Funkhauser memorial. the $50 bill was stupid though.
"If you weren\'t my best friend I don\'t know what I\'d do to you Larry."
(laughs) "He\'s not my best friend."
Havent watched eppy 4 yet... tomorrow after school.
season = average. expected though. Curb\'s best has been over for a few seasons now, but I\'ll always take more LD.
-
Well, after a second watch, I will say that I laughed more times than the first. But it seemed like this one was one joke (Larry\'s bathroom habits) stretched too thinly over an entire episode and it just didn\'t have enough other solid things to get away with it. For instance, I felt the whole skinhead thing was extremely stupid, and has been the case too often this season, the ending feel flat as a pancake.
Decent, but liked the other three better.
-
it definitely started out stronger. The ending could have really been funnier if they went for another angle. Is the black family really going to be there all season??? I mean, i do like the fact that Leon has become Larry\'s muscle...but still....
-
About as bad as Curb gets. Shoddy plot, four or five small laughs tops, rehash of the limo stuff from season two.
Highly suspect season. A show nearing the life-support stage.
I think it\'s safe to say that the shark has been officially jumped.
-
was able to watch the first two shows of the season yesterday. nothing great but still entertaining.
-
i thought it was about on par with the rest of the season. there were funny moments but the overall it\'s just not as on point and cohesive as it used to be
The freak book was pretty funny tho. And when after someone said something about aids in africa larry goes "heterosexuals can\'t get that right?" larry\'s version of \'charlie the limo driver\' was good too. way too much screaming tho. god damn!
-
they finally got the last two eppys up on on demand.. i thought both episodes were as people are saying. definitely funny moments, and too many overly dramatic ones. i really do still enjoy the show just for those few moments, but i think what we\'re seeing is that a show that just follows around a flustered funny man can only go so far as to still be realistic.
larry david is trying too hard now because all of things that made the first few seasons hilarious would probably be boring to keep regurgitating.
for fans i think this over-the-top business is a let-down, but for LD he\'s probably having a blast. it\'s more acting basically. i liked the juice of the show being improv, now it seems a bit more rigid to the storyline and too thought out.
i\'ll keep watching, but the best of Curb is clearly in the past.
leon was fantastic this episode.
STEP IN THAT ASSHOLE!
definitely the funniest shit in the last two episodes.
and the freak book was hilarious for the most part.
-
the take back my toast thing was all recycled but it was funny as hell when LD was complimenting suzie\'s outfit..."great combo!"
-
"if you were my wife i wouldnt let you leave the house looking like that."
-
Ok. I liked this one. More later.
-
Last weeks had lot\'s of great lines....
"You don\'t understand how I operate, okay"?
"Check out the freaks Mr. McEnroe!"
"It give money to AIDS in Africa..."
Larry: "But that doesn\'t affect heterosexuals, right?"
didnt like this weeks much on first watch.
But it was hilarious when the exterminator stomped the rat dog.
-
kinda enjoyed last night. definitely classic watching the exterminator stomp the rat dog.
the exterminator reminded me of Farley.

almost seemed like he was trying to act like beef barley
-
exactly.
every once in a while you see a part in a movie or show that is written for the Farley type of character.
this part fits beef barley all to well.
-
haha the stomping def would have been funnier with the original in there
-
that brotha they got livin there cracks me up
-
the phonecall to leon was pretty funny
-
The cell phone switch was great. Best part of the episode for me.
-
u gotta get in that ass larry...

fyi, that was his brother, Kevin Farley.
-
All told, a very funny episode in which the plot resolved in an unforced manner. Great contributions from the exterminator, Meadows, and of course, Leon.
-
the last episode was the best of the season. just watched it. funny too that larry and his real wife split during the course of filming this season. but overall a very, very funny episode.
larry talking to himself at dinner with the guy on his earpiece = CLASSIC.
-
Liked this episode a lot. Best of the season so far. *****.
-
Above-average episode with plenty of laughs, yet another suspect ending. The show probably does set the all-time record though the most usage of one particular word (which you all know without me having to say it) in a half-hour television show with 15 being the official count, and though I thought that was funny at first, I felt they played that note too many times.
-
couldnt get into last episode.. maybe on a second watch itll be different. I think some things are too forced
-
\'The N Word\' was average. I think it was a bit over-the-top too. Hilarious moments, I liked the doctor\'s house being very similar to a doctor\'s office, but the plot was definitely forced. Jeff\'s head-shaving was a bit too much for me, although its results had some perks (ie the waittress giving him the "bald treatment"). I guess the estrogen pills will be Larry\'s way of getting Cheryl back. I don\'t know, I still enjoy many parts but I get annoyed way more than I used to.
-
Maybe this is a reach, but does anyone think it\'s possible that the subject matter of this week\'s episode regarding that certain word might be somewhat related to the fiasco caused last year by Larry\'s old buddy, Michael Richards. Just a thought.
-

Hmmmm.. never thought of it. Very possible. I guess he would be making the statement that he does not support Richards then.
-
Finally getting caught up with the season. Had to go back and watch the episode where Cheryl decides to leave.
Its very possible that the "N-word" episode had something to do with the whole Kramer incident.
-
this weeks was aiite i thought.
the mo\' fukt up you get tho mo of a hero you gone be!
-
i really miss cable right now
-
i really really liked this week\'s episode. it was very clever more than hysterically funny. very well written.
Favorite line: He yells at the cat cause she didn\'t vote.
-
Wow. I don\'t know what to say. A shocking ending. Definitely hilarious, but does it continue from here? Really I\'m still laughing but in a weird way. I wonder if any of this had anything to do with the way his actual marriage fizzled out..?? I\'m not saying specifically, but just the idea of "Yooou doon\'t knoooow meeee...." being sung as the finale, I feel like he\'s making a statement for his real life to his (ex yet?) wife.
I don\'t know, but that was not what I was expecting and I\'m beginning to like it more and more as I think about it.
and i never commented on last week\'s episode which was FANTASTIC.. easily the best of the season imo.
this whole season was saved by a couple quality episodes and a totally off the wall finale.. the rest was pretty weak but there was enough to keep me excited for another season (i hope). larry with the blacks could show a true re-birth of curb and open up a brand new bag.
-
never seen Larry get so mad as he did with his receptionist!!.. . think this last episode and the season was entertaining and would say he did a real good job with stories and keeping it fresh. I think he\'ll do some more. Most \'LD\'s\' stuff is obviously based on blowin out real life situations, though he filed for divorce in real life, theres probably some relief in him making a comedy about a misfortune. i mean i\'m sure his wife in real life has been asked \'how she stays married to him?\' by her friends..
-
jesus, i always forget curb is on. i was watching Arrested Development last night instead..
and it\'s not ondemand yet.. bah.
-
great episode.
great season.
great series.
one complaint...
WHERES WAS WANDA SYKES THIS YEAR?
-
I think there was actually a Ben Laden in my Jew school growing up. Great episode. If it\'s the last ever I\'m sure gonna miss it, but I basically have all 60 episodes memorized, and lemme tell ya, it\'s the greatest TV show ever IMO, and what they\'ve done is absolutely amazing. They\'ve probably added 10 years to my life from all the laughing and smiling I\'ve gotten out of it. LD IS DA MAN! And BTW, I wanna see Leon in some movies or something, that guy is a character! "So the gerbil got in the elevator, hit up, and it went up your ass?" That shit is insane!

Leon was Trucky in Pootie Tang. I also love the fact that his name is ebonically smooth... J.B. Smoove. He also wrote for Saturday Night Live.
-
loved it.
loved larry telling his receptionist to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
loved mopey dick.
loved larry\'s bit about going down with the ship.
loved vivica (holy shit she looked good).
:thumbsup:
-
Ha! The Ben Laden bit was great. Larry and Richard\'s relationship is still the most entertaining on the show.
-
The whole season i kept saying he treated Loretta as a second wife.....(i.e. bringing her and cheryl the flowers). So it was kind of built up to that, i suppose. Vivica was looooking fine. They finally took her out of those baggy t-shirts...
I loved in the montage how Loretta told Susie off.
The expression on Leon\'s face when they take the holiday photo is hysterical....
i really enjoy Leon....
all in all, different season....very creative.
-
Nice season finale. Very entertaining and leaves many questions that need answers.

perhaps, but there is also a sense of closure, like Larry has always been living a false life and now finally found his hidden path to greatness, being an external inversion of Sammy Davis Jr. Ha! and it really does make sense.
SkyePrizm, i came on to make a comment about Loretta backing Susie out... Great Moment!
people always asked cheryl why she stayed with larry, and i think the same should have always been said on larry\'s behalf... welllllll, in a certain sense.

Yeah, that had to be my favorite part. About time somebody did that to Susie!
I think Cheryl\'s character was a bit whiny at times, maybe just me.
-
I loved pretty much every second of that episode.
-
It tends to follow Larry Davids real life. Just recently his wife filed for divorce. Makes sense.
-
Kevin Connolly was on Howard Stern on 11/5/07. He mentioned that "Larry David just signed on for two more years of Curb Your Enthusiasm".
-
yea,usually if its the last one ever theyll say...and now the series finale of.....
-
finally got to watch this last night. this past season has been amazing. i am really looking forward to seeing more-especially with sopranos being over/entourage sucked and i don\'t even know if it\'s coming back or not.
vivica fox is fucking hot!! i am so glad that episode ended the way it did. i love the blacks and really never cared for cheryl\'s character.
-
I watched again today, and again I loved pretty much every second.
Truly a triumphant episode and season finale
It had everything.
Great lines, great story, lots of laugh out loud moments, great character interaction, etc.
Most importantly it definitely left me wanting and optimisitic for more good Curb in the future.
It was a hit or miss season on the whole but this final episode and the other high points make it a great success overall imo.
Loretta is a thousand times better than Cheryl in every way and I am so stoked they hooked up. (Loretta slamming suzie was epic). Leon is the man and one of, if not the best characters ever on the show and will also be back and it really does open a lot of doors for future seasons now that its “Larry and the Blacks”!
Classic lines:
Leon motivating LD to get out of bed and get over Cheryl...
“Your brain is all fuckin discombobulated man, you need to focus on some ass. Your not comfortable in your Larry shell right now. You gotta become another motherfucker right now Larry! Grow a goatee. Larry. Grow a mustache. Grow some sideburns. Become another mother fucker! Ya feel me?!”
“Is this what you do? Sit on your ass all day and make fun of retarded people?”
“You think your more normal than me? I’ll have a mental patient face off with you anyday!”
:lol:
-
i have friends who i can\'t stand, you know, for like 25 years. i\'m still friends with them.
because i stay to the end. til they\'re dead. i go down with the ship. that\'s what i do. i\'m not even the captain. i\'m going down with the ship. that\'s what i want everybody to think about me - a guy who keeps the captain company.
-
. i love the blacks and really never cared for cheryl\'s character.
i think cheryl was a perfect fit for someone who could possibly be larrys wife
-
yeah i always thought they were a great match. their chemistry was perfect. but in the end the split had to happen, and it was crafted wonderfully.
the sinking ship bit was hilarious.

The most ridiculous part of that whole bit is the fact its in a movie theater being whispered....
