Review: Curb Your Enthusiasm - Officer Krupke {TV Squad}
Nov 9th 2009 10:36PM This has not been the best season, but a great season nonetheless. I've actually found the non-Seinfeld episodes to be my favorites. When Larry wheeled Denise (?) Handicapped into the closet and slammed the door shut, that was one of the greatest moments in the Curb history.
Interesting thing (to me at least) is that some of the sillier things that have been done on Curb this season seem like things that would have been done, and worked better, in the more surreal world in which Seinfeld played out. Like the restaurant guy sending the cops after Larry for taking too many napkins. That gag would have totally worked on Seinfeld with George as the napkin thief.
Curb is my all-time favorite show, but one thing that has always baffled me, especially for a show that sprung from the mind of a comic genius like Larry David, is that a lot of the gags that haven't worked over the years, or felt forced, seem like things that could have been easily remedied with a few little tweaks. When we look at something and say, no way would this person or that person have done that, I always felt like a small tweak would have given the person a completely believable reason for doing it.
Nice insight on the part of the reviewer to notice the missed opportunity for Cheryl and the dredged up past.

Set Visit: Mythbusters wraps seventh series of science gone mad {TV Squad}
Oct 3rd 2009 12:54PM Have to laugh though, that Savage credits the show's open-mindedness for it success, then declares that they don't go after ghosts because "there aren't any."
Way to be open-minded.
Everything about Dexter is changing ... except the opening?!? {TV Squad}
Sep 29th 2009 10:14PM I guess it's just you and I. It annoyed me too. Actually, this would have been a perfect opportunity to make the slight variation that played in the show part of the full opening, with a few small variations underscoring before each episode how his situation has changed. But whatever.
FlashForward: No More Good Days (series premiere) {TV Squad}
Sep 25th 2009 8:55PM I liked it a lot. I'm just hoping - praying almost - that I won't be disappointed somewhere down the line where it turns out they have no real plan for this thing and are just making it up as they go along, like certain other shows I won't mention. (And I don't know anything about the book so I don't know if the answers are in the book and already established).
