Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Seventh Season



Larry and Company in Top Form--No One's Feelings Spared
Update: The last episode showed a Seinfeld episode within a larry david CYE episode. It was really wonderful. If you are a Seinfeld fan, you must see the last episode of this season even if you do not like this show. I am a fan of both so was in heaven!

Original Review:

I just watched Larry David do a send up of Michael Richards' infamous "N" word rant to a heckler on this season. David uses the real Richards (Kramer) with the black comedian who lives with him on the show. This is typical of Larry David, who considers nothing too sensitive for comedic exploration. This is one big reason why I love this show. Larry David has to be the most Politically Incorrect Person in America and I love him for it!

There are just so many funny things this season that any reviewer could write a small book about the joys of Season 7. We open with his girlfriend having breast cancer and Larry's wanting to end the relationship. Somehow he manages to find a...

Seinfeld's Ending is Finally Satisfying!
Now that Season 7 has aired all its episodes I wanted to give my two cents. I enjoyed this season more than the last two (Season 1 was still the best). When Season 6 concluded many of us thought that was going to be the grand finale of the show. With Cheryl finally having enough of Larry's antics, pairing up with the underwear salesman who befriended her in her time of great fear (Larry was too busy with the TIVO guy at the time) and Larry settled in with Loretta and the rest of the Blacks.

Well Larry got the itch to do a type of Seinfeld reunion show to make up for the disappointing ending of the original series. He put together the idea that this could be used as a platform to get Cheryl back. As the series started, we see Larry bored with Loretta and trying to get out of the relationship. Larry learns that Loretta may have cancer prompting Jeff to let him know that he better break up with her before she tells him because "you can't break up with someone with...

Season Seven's my favorite so far
I didn't think Larry could top Season 6,"Meet the Blacks," but this year is even better.Curb has shows you never see on TV, having sex with a wheelchair date,avoiding kissing someone you know who just had oral sex with your best friend,or one of your female employee's wearing a cut off shirt with belly fat hagging out.I can't wait to see what happens with the Seinfeld reunion.I hope this show goes on forever.

Entourage: The Complete Series



Awesome box set.
If you're a fan of the show, you have to get this box set. The first several seasons were never released in a high-definition format, or even a widescreen format for that matter. It's great to finally see the earlier episodes remastered for Blu-ray.

Amazing Show
I don't know what it is about HBO, but they just know how to make the best shows. Entourage was one of the few shows that I watched religously when it was on the air and when it ended I was so sad to see it go. As someone who will probably never get to Hollywood it was grea to see a show that was about 4 guys from my hometown making it big and yet amonst all the glitz and glamour managed to stay tough, brash and of course together as friends.

Many people did give this show a little flack after season 3 because was apparently not as great as the first 3 seasons. While I will admit that season 4 was a little as a whole the story was rich in detail and character development and it all fit in the end. Of course the characters are some of the best ever put onto television and it is so hard to single one out as the best because they are all such great characters. Of course having a bunch of famous faces show up and just act as normal people is great too. It is a story about a...

Great show
The whole series is awesome and having it in one compact box with bonus content for each season is great. If you love Entourage this is a must have.
