Larry David

If you’ve never seen or heard of Curb Your Enthusiasm, please leave. Now. Seriously.

Although it gets shafted in the UK (Monday nights at 10.35 on More4, what the fuck?), it’s one of the funniest shows around - Larry David, he what was one of the creators of the also-excellent Seinfeld, really knows how to do subtle (and not so subtle) comedy well.

I think that one of the unsung heroes of the show has to be Richard Lewis. I mean I’ve never really found the guy all that funny, but on Curb Your Enthusiasm he’s like a different person!

Amazing.

The episode I’ve enjoyed most so far is probably The Producers one. I’m not going to spoil it if you haven’t seen it, but trust me when I say it’s magnificent.

Which brings me to another point.

I’ve never been able to understand the minds of TV schedulers - we get rubbish like EastEnders at prime time, but decent stuff like Curb and Entourage gets stuck at ridiculous times on backwater channels.

Is it so hard for Channel 4 to move a programme with Jamie sodding Oliver to some other time of day? How about 3 a.m.?

But no, we’ll still be left to see what happens when Jamie shows people where meat really comes from or how Gordon Ramsey turns a shit restaurant into a slightly less shit one.

Idiots.

(I’ve just realised I’ve ended another post with the word "idiots" - how idiotic.)
