is anyone else a fan? i am huge fan of this comedy. Larry David's main character - called Larry David - is SO frigging AS it is hilarious. i can watch hours of this program in a row - and cackle my way through all of it.
if you haven't seen it - do yourselves a favour and get it from your local vid store. i am certain many aspies will relate.
:D

I just love how he attacks pointless, non-logical gestures of "common courtesy", making them look pretty ridiculous! :D

I totally think so too! I get everything he complains about. People can be so annoying!

Curb Your Enthusiasm is definitely a good viewing choice>primary reason: it is of good comedic value; in other words, it makes me laugh.

P.S.
IT'S NOT THE SOPRANOS (CAN'T STAND THAT MAFIA GARBAGE).

I watched this show a few times and I must say I don't care for it. I guess it's for goyim like me to relate to Jewish humour.

I never could get into it. He (the character) struck me as the type that was simply a jerk by choice.

hey slowmutant....then go post a thread on a show you like. leave us larry david fans to our own devices, will you? What are you? a contrary party-pooper on boxing day? :wink:


glad there's a few of us around. i have a few eps to watch. by the way, the above tourette scene from the restaurant opening was much enjoyed just then, when i watched it! thanks. (and yes, i have strange facial tics and weird and compuslive shoulder twists, so i am entitled to say that!)

I had no idea it was a Tourette Syndrome scene! :lol:

To me, without the context of the ep, it just seemed like people shouting profanity for no reason! :lol: :lol:

Sorry about that, CYE fans.

if you see it in the context of the ep, slowmutant - you might have a good laugh. it is all about the hiring of a 5 star chef who has tourette's! it is really cool and a really hilarious and actually caring take on tourette's and the frigging shallowness of human beings.

have a great day. you are not such a party pooper after all!

Yeah, he reminds me of my dad. I laugh my butt off at this show.

"Loving you is my job, Larry." :lol:

My NT boyfriend cannot get into this show. His response was more bewilderment along the lines of what's been mentioned above.
