I watched my very first Curb Your Enthusiasm on 12/25/09, Christmas Day. I watched the last aired episodes, #70, on 1/21/09. To anyone that knows me, this probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise, but honestly even for me this was a breakneck pace that I watched these episodes. 70 episodes in 28 days is intense. Especially for a comedy where it’s easy to get “laughed out”.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is a different animal though. It’s one of, if not the, greatest comedies of all time. Of course it’s really funny, but what struck me about the show was how intricate the stories were. In Seinfeld there was usually one or two jokes that came back around at the end of the episode to pay you off, but with Curb it’s like there are three or four coming back around per episode. Sometimes there are jokes that come back around in later episodes or even later seasons that really play well. I am a fan of shows rewarding continuity like that and to find that in a comedy is extremely rare. I just love every minute of this show and give it my highest recommendation.
