I have a sister!
Palestinian chicken and a great set of cans. Easy choice.

HBO just confirmed LD will go ahead with an 11th Season!
BEST NEWS OF THE DAY

World needs another season of LD.
Half way through S09 which means I have nearly completed my catch up after starting with S10 in ISO
The quality over 20 years rarely dropped. One of the few shows that got better with time.
When done I will come back with my fave eps

I think I've mentioned it already, but Season 9 was much better on rewatch than what I felt the first time through. It really wasn't a massive drop in quality at all, but maybe a bit more self-aware, which was sometimes annoying. I think in retrospect it was more around just being so hyped for it after such a massive gap between seasons.
Also, your favourite episode has to be Palestinian Chicken, right?
Binging certainly has been great because I have missed the media noise.
Like the whole Seinfeld Season was so self aware that it was painful in places but I missed the media commentary.
I liked Season 4, and when Leon and the Hurricane Family turned up.
Season 7 in New York was funny as well.
It's trending towards Beloved Aunt Ep, purely based around the hilarity of him being stuck in the awkwardness of the Wake and of course the punchline....but still not sure.
I find myself walking through life at the moment and seeing things and thinking that's a LD moment of human absurdity.
Yeah, you can't immerse yourself in LD's world and not start seeing the things that LD would get annoyed at in the real world! It's a dangerous path to go on though. If you watch TOO much, you might start actually speaking out like LD does ...
If you behaved like LD in Australia you would be eating knuckle sandwiches regularly
Beloved Aunt is my favourite episode. I think I've complained on here before about Larry becoming too unlikable in the more recent seasons, but Beloved Aunt I think is Curb at it's best. Larry is really doing nice things (writing the obituary, offering accommodation, buying the sunglasses gift) but things go wrong, mostly through no real fault of his own, so the audience can sympathise with Larry. Lots of great moment in this episode. I find it not so funny when he is just being a jerk (season 9 was the worst for this).
Didn’t realise S09 had so much angst. I am up to Ep 7 and watching in the Binge as I have been he has been pretty much an average bloke in so many Seasons with his obnoxiousness
S09 Ep9 and the Shuka
Lol that Judge Judy scene.
Leon!
Lol that Judge Judy scene.
Leon!
Just finished a complete re-watch.
I've also had the same experience after re-watching season 9, was a lot better than I remembered. Maybe partly because I've now seen Hamilton the scenes with Lin-Manuel Miranda suddenly make a lot more sense and I've picked up a lot more jokes/references.
I do also agree with the sentiment that Larry was a lot more grounded in the earlier seasons and has become more of a caricature later on, which happens to a large amount of comedies, Seinfeld being a good example. I actually prefer the more obnoxious Larry, people change in real life and accept who they really are as they stop giving a f*** when they get older - that's Larry to a tee.
If I could summarise the series in one scene it's this one:
Which then gets topped when John Hamm does a re-enactment of it

I think I agree with everything you said. If you were going to sum up the whole show for someone, that Mocha Joe is a great example: "It's essentially 10 seasons of a guy ignoring social niceties and just saying what he's really thinking." Also, Jon Hamm's episode is up there in contention for the Top 5 curb episodes of all time.

I keep rewatching it. Probably my favourite show above Sopranos and The Wire now lol. Makes me laugh 10 times out of 10.

Curb returns for Season 11 this October! Pleasently surprised with the short turn-around between seasons, considering season 10 only finished March last year and Curb has had notoriously long breaks between seasons before.
Can't wait to see Larry's take on the Rona, I've got to admit the first time I heard the term 'social distancing' in March 2020 it sounded like a term from Curb, like the 'Chat and cut' or 'social assassin'.

****, I love that show. Haven’t watched it since I shitcanned foxtel.

I read an interview with Jeff a month or so ago and Covid19 features in an early episode but doesn’t become the define the season
Yet another unplayable delivery from the great Wasim.
