Who hates the TV show "Curb Your Enthusiasm?"
I find the show hilarious and hysterically funny. My dad, on the other hand, loathes the show times 100. He hates it that bad. His reasons being that Larry David complains all the time which becomes very annoying to watch. What are your opinions? I want to hear them so I can see what other people think about the show.

1. I don't like it.
Watched it a couple of times, and just didn't like it at all. But as I say, to each their own.

2. I can handle only so much antisocial behavior.
If I medicated myself, maybe I'd enjoy it...

I've met too many Larry Davids in Los Angeles. He doesn't look like him, but the show is very true to the nature of my ex-father-in-law, who has WAY too many similarities to Larry David's character (starting with him being a Jewish boy from Brooklyn who made it big in entertainment and moved to Beverly...Hills, that is: movie stars, swimming pools...). He's basically a walking nightmare, near impossible to live with. You gotta love him, though. :D

What a putz. And I mean that affectionately. :P

5. I don't hate the show as I loathe the character ...
while the "anti-hero" can be a very funny person (Basil Falwty or Edina Monsoon), the persona is just not there.

:party: WELCOME TO DU!! :party:

8. The show makes me squirm

He gets himself into such embarassing situtations, I almost always wind up changing the channel because it's too excruciating to watch. x(

11. Mr. BAL loves it, I can't watch it. Like Seinfeld, which I also never cared for,
I just don't "get it," I guess.

I don't doubt that it is brilliant, It just isn't my style.

14. If you liked "Seinfeld", you'll like "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
Same kind of humor. Considering that Larry David was a big part of both.

I like "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

16. I love the show.
Larry David is a huge douchebag, there's no denying that. What you have to keep in mind when you watch the show is - that he really *IS* that annoying in real-life. That's what makes it so funny.
