    The consistently excellent Curb Your Enthusiasm returns for another season of uncomfortable situations and cruel honesty. Season 8 feels fresh, thanks in no small part to a temporary switch in location to New York. The acting and improvised dialogue are of their usual high quality and though the humor has lost its novelty, it is far from growing stale. Many people talk about the "return to form" of TV shows. This doesn't seem to apply to Curb because it is never off form.… Expand

    Larry still has it. Season's hilarious as always, dealing with the same everyday situations you are used to deal (complain and talk behind people's back, unlike Larry who loves confrontation) about.

    After 8 season, this show continues to be hilarious. Larry David continues to be a genius, with season 8 being one of the best to date. By far the funniest show of 2011, and I really hope the Emmy voters remember that next summer. Brilliant.

    This season is a riot! I think it's the funniest yet. Outstanding LD. We certainly hope you're back for another season -- and make more episodes this time!

    Absolutely flawless season. Larry David could run this show forever and it would never lose its charm. The first few episodes were great but the last two or three were genius. The Parkinsons schtick was the highlight of the season...Michael J. Fox was fantastic as well.

    Larry David is a tv juggernaut. He is as funny as ever getting himself into unusual and uncomfortable situations. His acting and writing is still sharp. This is one of the best shows out there.

    Back to form! After a few weak seasons, eight returns to clever writting, well rounded episodes and much fun! Moving to New York gave some freshness the series needed after so much time.

    The Palestinian Chicken episode is an absolute classic in my opinion, and a Top 5 episode of the series. Also cracked up over the episode with Ricky Gervais when Larry beats up a thug with the loaf of bread. LOL. And of course The Parkinson's episode at the end with Michael J. Fox is priceless.

    It's a funny episode, boisterously so in parts, but it's difficult to shake the feeling that we've seen this before. After eight seasons, it's started to become too easy to spot Curb Your Enthusiasm's patented ironic twists and callback gags coming a mile away.

    Now entering another wince-inducing season, Larry David proves again that he can mine gold over and over from the same idea.

    Still, even if Curb has lost some of its original wallop, it remains a great comedy of manners.
