"Perfect"

What about the surrogate, the surrogate is a person too, she is having a baby!

Larry David createst another amazing episode, following the greatest episode of CYE of all time, "The Car Pool Lane"

Larry David strikes another homer as he creates a highly humorous episode, although he re-hashes premises visited in previous episodes (i.e. his complaints at the doctor's office, et al..) This episode creates a number of highly enjoyables skits, including Larry's reaction to the attractive nurse, creating his need for a heart holter, which he uses to great comedic effect.

Another amazing show from the ingenious mind of Larry David.moreless
