    "Curb" may be ridiculously silly, but, unlike "Extras," its shenanigans are inventive.

    The show gets back to where it belongs: under Larry's expansive roof and inside his incessantly neurotic, disgracefully tactless and unerringly heartless skin.

    This season's meandering quality and sparkless-ness is shocking when compared to the last 4 seasons. It seems it's all way out situations with no conclusions. One example from an earlier season: who else could not only make adult survivors of incest funny, but create a conclusion that would keep you in amazement for days. Anyone who says this season comes even close to the previous four is simply kidding themselves.… Expand
