I'm guessing he at least ditches the Prius for a Hummer. :D
Doesn't do it for me either, but I'm happy for the rest of you :DQuote:

I go out of my way not to watch it, but unfortunately, ads for it can catch you unawares. It can be quite distressing! :(Quote:

Its a pity its on tv all the time now as its a bit over exposed.
The end to the 5th season was as good an episode as there has been. The whole finding birth father senses were great. :D
Is it on tv all the time in Ireland? I've only seen it once on tv in the last few years, and before that it was the 'Ted & Mary' episode from season 1 on BBC 2 a few years back.
Do they show Seinfeld on any channels either?
It's on Channel 6 every evening I know.Quote:

TG4, Channel 6 and More 4 show Curb intermittently. The repeats are on a lot more often nowadays but it was years before they even showed the first series on TG4. The mainstream channels ran a 100 miles from it, put off by naughty language no doubt (surprised they didn't just cut out every scene with Jeff's wife):)Quote:

You're lucky you get Seinfeld, they don't show it on any channel in this place. Stupidity at its finest.
It's disgraceful - the BBC had the rights to Seinfeld, Larry Sanders and Arrested Development and they buried all three of them because they were 'too American' :rolleyes: (one first-run episode of Arrested Development was shown on BBC2 at 2am on Monday morning after Indoor Bowls highlights:eek:).Quote:

Hahah I remember watching it after the Bowls!
They had Seinfeld on Paramount last year, and all of a sudden they stopped showing it. Surely they can't use the 'too American' argument on there?
Well did you see the recent Arrested Development where Michael has a British girlfriend. It's really taking the **** outta them. Might've been a case of hurt pride.Quote:

Never could get into Arrested Development but I appreciate the humour. Curb is not like Seinfeld.
Heres a good description from Wikipedia.
Quote:
Larry David (as himself) – The star of the show. The rich but *****ly David has terrible luck in social situations (with a few notable exceptions) and is often on the losing end of heated confrontations with "the help" — waiters, retail clerks, secretaries, etc. Politically liberal and socially obtuse, Larry can be sensitive to the need to avoid offending others (such as the handicapped, African-Americans, etc), but often only retrospectively. He is a perpetual victim of not only his own petty neuroses and obstinance, which render him incapable of admitting fault, accepting blame and letting matters rest, but also of fate and circumstance (which seem to actively conspire against him) and, on occasion, the sometimes ridiculously over-sensitive and easily-offended natures of those he happens to encounter.
I could appreciate if someone found that format/theme amusing, in a one off show, but 6 series!? Give me a break!Quote:

Quite the opposite, it wouldn't work as a one off. In fact the longer it goes on the funnier it gets. I loved the series with "The Producers" in particular. Genius ending.Quote:

the vast majprity of the show is improvised there is and outline of a script and they just make up the rest . Similar to the way chirs guest works with spinal tap etc
"The Doll" is still the best episode & I think sums up the show. The episode builds up to just one joke/punchline. :cool:
My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, etc.Quote:

I love Arrested Development but I hate TV3. Like el weekly they show it at ungodly hours.Quote:
