I did a full binge over Christmas break. The early seasons don’t quite have the magic yet but George’s Yankees era neatly prefigures where ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ came from. Kramer and the Costanzas are comedy gold and ‘Feativus’ may just be the single funniest 22 minutes of TV ever.
it's just so funny... i just finished watching it for the third time (personally i have to wait a few years between rewatches of shows so i forget the plot etc) i love julia (my other comfort show is, you guessed it, seinfeld :x)
My parents referenced it all the time growing up but until I watched it myself recently I didn't realize how pervasive it was during my childhood. The characters were constantly name checked. "Newman!" was their sanitized curse word. And a consistent meal we had Mom dubbed "The Big Salad."
Reading a page or two before going to sleep is a great feeling, and will have you slowly make your way through your books, eventually reading more than a few pages when you find yourself compeltely engrossed.
I have a cigar I play with and put in my mouth for funny photos or to just mess around with. I don't smoke it and I don't even have a cigar cutter it just feels fun to play mafia.
