Reviewer's Corner

I just finished watching the newly released second season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on DVD, which is better than the first fucking awesome season and not as good as the third holy-shit-that-shit's-fucking-funny season.

Simply put, this is the greatest show in the history of TV. Think Seinfeld unhindered by attempts at punchlines or conformity to hackneyed sitcom structural conventions---and most of all, unhindered by Jerry. Buy it and watch it many many times.

Moment of the season: Larry David, after a stranger accuses him of being a self-hating Jew for humming Wagner while waiting in line for a movie---and after a series of events which force Larry to take revenge on this same person---hires a chamber orchestra to perform Wagner on the man's lawn at 5 in the morning, with Larry as conductor.
