not a huge fan of this series or the ending to be honest......the humour seems a lot more 'obvious' and i think the programme's success lies in the subtlety of the humour.
still a few excellent episodes like the ida funkhouser roadside memorial one or 'the rat dog'...

I guess it's all about whether you find the tickling thing funny or not.. anyway I thought it was hilarious..
but you're right, usually it's all about the subtle humour..

I haven't seen the finale yet, but i thought it started really strongly then had a couple of 'meh' eps, then picked up towards the finale.
Leon has been hysterical this series, and as always the scenes with just him and jeff are always classic.
I just felt this series wasn't quite as clever as previous series with an overreaching arc to tie everything together as in the Producers series (although the finale might prove me wrong).
Apparently this may be the last series.

can only watch him put his foot in it so many times before it gets boring
can't stand seinfeld either, though, so that probably explains it
I'm with the PeeKster on this one. I found both Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm to be repetitive and predictable. Are the any jokes in Curb Your Enthusiasm that aren't simply that he's a bored grumpy bloke? I can't fucking stand one foot in the grave either. Though when Richard Wilson was on Father Ted I laughed, and it was funny seeing people shout "I don't belieeeeeeeeeeeeve it" at the artist Richard Wilson. I was remarkably drunk at the time however.

One of my favorite shows. Larry David is pure genius.

Its the same as what gervais ended up doing with extras: slightly incongruous bloke says/does the worst possible thing despite really deep down being a nice person trying to do right.
I watched a lot of Curb and it just seemed to be the same formula over and over again. I couldn't be arsed to watched past the 1st series.

ive never really watched it very much but thats mainly cos i just cant get into it. maybe i need to persevere but whats the point in comedy you have to try at to enjoy?

it took me a few episodes to get into it, until i understood the characters properly i reckon......god that sounded fucking pretentious.
