Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 7, Episode 6: "The Bare Midriff": 6.2/10

Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 7, Episode 6: "The Bare Midriff": 6.2

I personally thought that this episode had a bit too much going on that it tried to cram into the episode. I know that the show usually does have a lot of threads that all tie together in some way but I think this episode overextended himself. That being said though I still liked the episode.

I was happy to see Jerry and Julia back this week. I really love Larry and Jerry's interactions with each other. At a certain point I started to wonder if the episode was going to be following them around all day and I sort of wish it had. The material with the bare midriff was funny although I wish they had addressed the issue more as a personal offense of what is and is not office appropriate wear and not so much as the fact that they were offended by someone of her body type wearing the shirt. I love the way Larry brought the whole thing up. He tried to be gentle but it backfired of course. Other highlights included Larry and Jerry refusing to move over for Richard Lewis and Richard Lewis getting hit by a car.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1, Episode 10: "The Group"


Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1, Episode 10: “The Group”
Grade: 8.4

This is a strong closer to the season. Just watching Larry at the incest meeting was priceless. His story and the nonchalant manner he explains it with was great as well. Something I loved about this was that Larry really tried to stay true to his promise. There were a lot of really great moments in the episode. Larry and Cheryl’s sex conversation, Larry’s incest survivor story, etc. I loved how surprised Cheryl was when Jeff got her the part in the Vagina Monologues. Well that’s it for Curb Your Enthusiasm. I told you I have a hard time reviewing a show like this? Can you tell?

Quotes:
Larry: You know I've never actually seen the vagina with my glasses on. I don't really have any idea of what it looks like. It's all a hazy mystery to me.

Larry: My name is Todd, and I'm an incest survivor.
Group: Hello.
Larry: I had sex with my uncle when I was 12.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1, Episode 9: "Affirmative Action"


Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1, Episode 9: “Affirmative Action”:
Grade: 9.2

It’s getting ridiculous how good this show is. This would be my second favorite episode of the series thus far. I believe this is the last of the episodes I had seen before. It’s been such a long time since I have watched all of the episodes I am going to review so I apologize again for this being so awful. Basically there was no part of the episode I did not like. In fact each scene was hilarious for various reason all leading up to Larry getting thrown out of the pharmacy for trying to bribe the pharmacist. This episode also features a hilarious usage of the Psycho theme and has some of the most awkward moments I’ve seen on the show thus far. Larry making the affirmative action joke in the first place and having to explain it to the dermatologists guests. Again it’s been a while since I have seen it but I remember lots of it clearly. Yet I do not feel like going into it because I have so many other damn episodes to review.
