Couldn't agree more. Much better than Seinfeld IMO.
The Doll episode and the show with the Red Indian gardener (Wandering Bear, is it?) are two of the funniest things I have ever seen on the box.
Was the last series any good? I only caught one episode on More 4 before Christmas, so unless it's repeated, I'll have to wait until June for the DVD to come out.

New series starts here on HBO on July 10th so should be on in the UK shortly afterwards. Looks good from the trailers. Larry David has moved to New York and it doesn't seem to have lost any of its edge with David taking the piss out of Michael J Fox with his Parkinson’s. Only one question –why does a proper comic like David feel the need to include that tosser Ricky Gervais in a cameo role.

'The Office' is the same theme basis for a comedy, so perhaps there's a nod from one to the other.
Both base their comedy on inappropriate social politics and the reaction from their 'victims'

It is brilliant television. They had it on sky atlantic a few weeks back every monday evening at 11ish and it reignited my interest in it again. It is brilliantly written

Can't wait for the new season - seems like we've been waiting ages for it in terms of when it was announced.
Would be less excited,as I thought Curb was going slightly off the rails for a while, but the end of series 7 was just some of the most brilliant TV you will ever see. Does anyone know if there's going to be a 'plot arc' this season or not? (eg. Series 7 - Seinfeld reunion, Series 6 - The Blacks, Series 4 - The Producers, Series 3 - the restaurant)

Only the best comedy show ever, IMO. I agree with Jonno, 'Beloved aunt' is hilarious

Never watched Curb Your E, but I'd say the same about Seinfeld - absolute genius of a series that never had the recognition it deserved over here. Admittedly it might look a bit 1990s by now, but it was absolutely untouchable in its day. Just a shame the boxed sets are so expensive to buy.
Apparently the new series is going to be based entirely in New York. That's all I've heard.

Series six is the one that I started watching first. Got completely hooked and seen most episodes.
I would recommend The Ida Funkhouser Roadside Memorial and The Doll. Classic Larry in that he ends up in a complete mess without it really being his fault.
Bit like John Stapes on Corrie
Pretty pretty pretty pretty good.

They've just shown the series about the restaurant (series 3 I think) on Sky Atlantic, does anyone know when they're gonna show the 4th series because it wasn't on, last saturday?

This is pretty much the show in a nutshell. The pacing, the buildup. Watch these 7 minutes and if you are laughing it's for you.

8th season now well into its stride. The episode called “Palestinian Chicken” is the best one yet with a Palestinian restaurant opening up next to a Jewish delicatessen. No spoilers – it manages to really push the limits of taste to the extreme (as usual) but also makes some good points and stays extremely funny. Some of the characters who play Larry’s friends almost steal the show.

I must admit when I first started watching the show I wasn't sure, but once I got into it I couldn't stop watching. I churned through all seven seasons pretty quickly after that.
I must start downloading the latest season as I didn't realise it was already showing stateside.
Loved the episodes last season with Steve Coogan as the therapist, and the ordeal he ends up going through for Larry was comedy gold.
We don't seem to have anything so sharply observed in this country at the moment, aside from perhaps the excellent Twenty Twelve, but it isn't the same.
