If there is such a thing as a TV Hall of Fame, Larry David is a first ballot Hall of Famer. The guy is brilliant. "Curb" is one of the best kept secrets on TV--everyone I turn on to it loves it, but nobody knows about it.
What kind of mind can think of picking up a hooker just to be able to drive the HOV lanes to get to a Dodger game? Brilliant.
Do you remember the "Penske file"?
George isn't sure if he gets a job or not, comes to work anyway, and is assigned the Penske file. He does nothing but rearrange it for a whole week. Where I work, "Penske" is code for ducking work. "I have a meeting with Penske" or "I'll be out at Penske all day" is what we tell each other when we're going to take in a spring training game or play golf. My receptionist has no idea that Penske is not a real customer and we've been doing this for almost ten years.

Remember this...I have siad this for years and years-- everything that happens in your life can go back to a Seinfeld episode. Don't believe me?? Just remember what I said.
I have watched this show so many times my wife who loved the show now despises it. After work there is nothing better than a laugh with Seinfeld.
One of my top favs. When Kramer got the accounting job and the toughest thing to do was fire him when he really did not work there. "Busy time Jerry, busy time". And the all time best line imho...
"what do you have in that briefcase?" "crackers" LOL

The best Seinfeld episode is...
the one that started out with George asking Jerry if he could use the bathroom. When he comes out he is putting his clothes back on and Jerry asks him what he is doing. George says that he likes to take off his clothes while using the bathroom because he likes to relax. Next, Kramer brings in a 3-D picture. Then Elaine's boss, Mr Pitt keeps trying to see if he can see the 3-D picture so, Elaine has to go to the merger meeting for Mr Pitt. In the mean time, George is trying to impress his girl friends mother. He ends up eating a donut out of the garbage and his girlfriend's mother catches him in the act. (Jerry's line was great...was it in the garbage can...was it touching garbage...then it's garbage!!!) George also throws some coffee on some big guys windshield. He is in the process of cleaning it off when, his girlfriends mother sees him doing it and thinks he is begging for money. Then George is taking his girlfriend home when he asks her if he could come upstairs to use the bathroom. Of course, he has to take his clothes off to go to the bathroom, there is a 3-D picture in the bathroom, he gets engrossed in trying to see the 3-D picture and gets confused. So, he ends up forgetting to put his clothes back on and walks out into the party in his underwear. The episode ends with Elaine trying to convince Mr Pitt that he has to go to the stockholders meeting to save the merger. His pen ends up leaking and he gets ink on his face which gives him a Hitler mustache. He goes to the meeting and while standing at the podium, he raises his hand up like Hitler and announces that the stock will go HIGH.
My second favorite is when Kramer hits golf balls into the ocean. George tells some girl he is a marine biologist. As he is walking along the beach with this girl, some one yells out "Is anyone a marine biologist?" At the end of the episode, they are all at the cafe and George is telling his story. Someone already quoted George..."The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli" - George Costanza...he proceeds to pull the golfball out of his pocket. Kramer asks if it is a Titlest and when George says that it is, Kramer says "Hole in one!!!"
One of the greatest shows ever!!

Another great George episode - Mr. Wilhelm gave George his assignment in the bathroom, George didn't hear him, then tried figuring it out cause Wilhelm told him it was based on going "Downtown." That might have been the same episode when George, Kramer and Tony went rock climbing with George making the salmon sandwiches for Tony and Tony crashing. "Step Off, George"
Jimmy's not happy. Jimmy' gonna get you Kramer. Jimmy's sweet on Elaine.

Larry David IS the real George Costanza. If you go into "Curb" knowing that, it all makes sense.
Not only was Larry David the voice of George Steinbrenner, he also has an occasional bit part. I do recall him running a newsstand once.
Vanity license plate that I saw just a few hours ago on I-4 in Florida, headed from Orlando to Tampa: N Soup 4 U
Classic.

You gotta any coffee, who doesn't have instant coffee. You put it on the shelf and forget about.
Look Joy Boy. I know your type flashy making the scene. Drawing peepees and weewees, maybe that's how you get your kicks Seinfeld.
I choose not to run.
What are you doing that he said, she said bit. Boy, you really went bald their didn't you.

"So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys, I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you Jerry, at that moment I was a marine biologist."
