Curb Your Enthusiasm

Looking at the top list of Curb episodes on this website, I've constantly been surprised that The Car Pool Lane is at the top of the list. What started off as a hilarious episode ended on a weak note that felt sort of rushed. How the episode still has the top spot out of all the superb episodes the show has had surprises me. Even Krazee Eyez Killa was better than this one.



I absolutely love the ideas and plots involved in this episode. Between Larry picking up a prostitute to use the car pool lane and than actually having conversations with her about B.J prices and how good she actually is at it, and trying to buy weed for his father from Hurley from Lost.. just some great ideas. And I really thought Funkhouser was funny in this episode as well.



However, after they got back home to Larry's dad's house, I really just wasn't interested in anything that happened. In my head, the episode ended with Funkhouser being arrested. Everything else was sort of unfunny (although Larry yelling at himself in the mirror was hilarious). The ending just didn't feel like a good Curb ending.



Overall, I feel like this episode did a good job with the ideas it had but failed to create an ending that tied everything up as well as they usually do. Also, I don't know who's ranking all the new episodes low and the old ones high, but no way "The Corpse Sniffing Dog" deserves to be so high up on the list while "The Table Read" and "Vehicular Fellatio" lose their spot. I usually could care less about these lists, but I mean honestly.. I can understand Trick or Treat, but Corpse Sniffing Dog?! Come on..

This is one of my favorite episodes! Not only because Larry gets high with his dad and a hooker but the whole episode in it's entirity is just brilliant. I really liked the scene when Larry is at the ball game, with the hooker, and he see's his friend Morty Funkhauser in a much closer seat. So he finds Morty who is sitting next to an empty seat and asks him if he can sit in the empty seat. To Larrys surprise Morty tells Larry that the empty seat is for his dead father and that he can't sit in it. After arguing with him for several minutes, Larry gives up and goes back to his seat with the hooker. After the game Larry see's Morty again and he is having trouble getting his car started. Morty asks for assistance and Larry replies 'Why don't you ask your father?' 'Hey Louis, wanna help Morty start his car?' That is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. I love the fact that this show is mostly improv! It really gives you an edge for the characters! This is a brilliant show! If you haven't seen it...for pete's sake watch it!

I couldn't stop laughing during the episode. It definitely brings out the best elements of Larry David. The scenes with his father smoking pot with the hooker are classic. The fact that in real life an innocent man was cleared of murder charges after his lawyer used unaired footage of the show filming at Dodger Stadium only makes it even better!

This episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm was excellent!



I can honestly say that this episode beats any other episode of any other television show, ever in the world! IMO of course.



I found myself laughing through the entire episode! He has to buy marijuana for his father's glaucoma, and also wants to go to a game. I am not going to ruin the surprises in this episode by telling you what was funny, so watch it!



I guarantee you will love this episode, watch it!! I would give this the best score you can give 10/10 but I think it deserves SO much more!

Classic 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' episode with a classic set up (Larry making a racial slur to get out of jury duty) that ends up having repercussions at the end of the show. Loved the episode, the hooker Larry picks up to use the car pool lane was great at impov and the drug dealer played by Jorge Garcia (Hurley) from 'Lost' was an added bonus (gee he looks alot like Jim Belushi)! Larry one again has problems with dogs and will he ever get his tenth wedding anniversary gift by the end of the season? This was one hilareous episode, a 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' classic!
