Eastbound, Its Always Sunny, and Curb Your Enthusiasm are the great triumvirate of comedies for me. I think Season 2 of Eastbound is coming pretty soon. Psyched for that shit.

The League has a chance if the 2nd season is as good as teh first

I ended up downloading the entire first 6 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm via torrent.  I'd watch one episode a night.  This was around the time I discovered My Morning Jacket, so it was usually jamming out the Jacket followed by an episode of Curb before bed.

We lucked out when I got the HD cable installed for the new home theater system.  They threw in free HBO for a year, so I got to see season seven in HD after watching the previous six seasons as .avi files on my computer.  Oh, and The Pacific.

CYE is a fantastic concept.  The pilot was a riot.  I especially like when they're checking out of the hotel and arguing over who's gonna pay for Larry's hotel porn charges.  My Dad loved the boner pants.  The wheelchair Kamikazee.  Beloved Cunt.  Classic moments.

The last post reminded me off a show I picked up on DVD a few yeas ago and really enjoyed.  Lucky Louie was a short-lived half-hour sitcom on HBO.  I bought the "entire" series (one season) for cheap.  My wife and I loved it.  It was filmed old-style (think Three's Company) video, was very sitcomy, but filthy.  It had family moments, guy moments, couple moments.  

I think it might of been my use of the C word in the post above that reminded me about this show.  There's one episode where Louie (Louis CK) calls his wife a c--t.  Wackiness ensues!

I vaguely remember this show, but I never saw it. I think Louis CK is hilarious. I'll have to check it out on netflix or something.

My favorite Curb is the one where Larry buys weed for his dad's glaucoma.

Yes!   The best part is when he tries to walk away after the deal.  Classic.

Wasn't that Lost's Hurley that played the dealer?
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Yes, yes it was.

I like the one where he picks up the prostitute so he can drive in the HOV lane to the Dodgers game.

Unlike last season of Sunny, I thought the last season of Curb was great. Vehicular Fellatio, Denise Handicapped, The Black Swan, Funkhouser's Crazy Sister, plus all the Seinfeld stuff. Some classic episodes.

Larry getting beat down by rosie o'donnell was pretty hilarious.  the season where they adopt the black family was so hilarious.  that huge black cock cake hahah.  Larry David is a funny dude.

Yep!  Best episode.

Funkhouser's Crazy Sister is greatness too.

I'm slowly getting my parents into Curb too.  They won't admit they like it, but they do.
