I'm always glad to return to Curb-world but this felt a lot louder, brasher and extruded than previous seasons. The fatwa bellowing between Jeff and Larry over the phone was like something out of a Seth MacFarlane show.

We remarked on noisiness and manufacturedness of the episode and my girlfriend reminded me that Season 8 was much the same.

Larry's daughter Cazzie is doing some really great stuff with her web series Eighty-Sixed.

Well, we finally got those Larry David shower scenes you were all clamoring for.

I have loved Curb in the past, but am really on the fence about beginning to watch this season. with the world the way it is, people yelling at each other and being generally boorish and uncivil, even for the sake of laughs, just doesn't seem watchable.
I am hoping to read here on fanfare something encouraging...
