I used to catch this show every once in a while. I thought it was funny, but I never knew when it was on. I think that I used to watch it when it was on after the Sopranos.

not funniest, but very funny.

What do you think is funnier? I need to be watching anything that is as funny as this show. :)

I think The Office is right up there, too, btw.

I liked the episode where Ted Danson got his ass kicked for throwing something in a guy's garbage. This show is very Seinfeld'ish with the story lines. Larry is always pissing someone off, trying to understand why their pissed off and then makes it all better at the end.

One of the funniest. Arguably the funniest. Maybe the funniest.

...but it's not hands-down the funniest.

For those of you we have completely forgotten about this show, Curb returns this Sunday (September 9th) for what will be most likely its final season.

they've been saying this for the last three seasons.

but, yeah, very psyched for this to come back on. David is a comedic genius and is without a doubt in my mind, the brains behind Seinfeld. When he left, the show fell apart. What has Jerry done since then? He put out a horrifically boring stand-up and has an awful looking animated film coming out versus David who continues to rake in Emmy noms and awards.

This show and Arrested Development frustrate me like no other. I know they're smartly written, rightly acted, expertly directed and edited, and I still can't find the humor in them. More ... chuckle than hearty laugh. I can only conclude I'm just not smart enough to enjoy them.

It's funny, but not as funny as AD was. Not as funny as...hmm...maybe just that? Damn, but Arrested Development was funny.

Conchords is funny, in a similar weird vein but not at that level.

Office, AD, Curbed...three of the funniest comedies of the last decade and they are all very recent.

I thought, after the first episode, that this show had reached the point of telling the same jokes too many times.

But after catching parts of the limo episode, I was competely wrong!!

Ok, the guy who was a thin Chris Farley stomping the Rat-dog...holy hell...that made me laugh so damn hard. Terribly funny.

This show still has a little kick. I think it has jumped the proverbial shark a while back, but it still delivers just enough laughs to keep me tuning in.
