eh. ...we've been here before, but it was better...

I clearly seem to be a minority here, but I have watched this show probably 5 or 6 times and I have to say that I just don't really dig it. I think that Seinfeld is one of the most brilliant shows tv has ever featured and I'd do nothing to take away from it, or David's job as its co-head. That said, I see Curb as a less-funny derivative knockoff of its predecessor, with less talented actors to boot. I never thought Jerry Seinfeld was that great but Jason Alexander et al really brought Seinfeld together and Larry David (nor his cast) ever reach the heights of these actors. This show actually bugs me because I just think it's easy and doesn't demonstrate that David's done anything new. And he annoys the hell out of me, in a way I see as non-productive (and not "part of the point"). Eh.

score /10
