Don't have HBO and don't want to subscribe for one show? No worries. Get
streaming video at http://www.watchcurbyourenthusiasm.com. I'm not sure how
quickly after the episode airs that it is available online, but I watched
Monday's episode last night, 24 hours later.

By the way, any comments on Monday's season premiere, "Funkhouser's Crazy
Sister"? I didn't like it at all, but did see how the season is setting up
the Seinfeld reunion. Last season Larry's wife left him. On Monday's
episode, she told him the reason is that since he finished doing "Seinfeld"
he was home too much and driving her nuts - she needs some space. He said
he can give her space. I'm sure this will spur his idea to get the
Seinfeld gang to do a reunion - to get him out of the house.
Meanwhile, the episode also emphasized Larry's opinion on society's laws of
social behavior, including helping oneself to food in the refrigerator
without asking (shades of Kramer), offering the empty gesture "Is there
anything I can do for you?", which is supposed to be understood as just
something to say, already understood by the offerred that this is not to be
actually accepted, the appropriate time before a dinner party when
invitations should be sent, and whether it is appropriate to ask the
host/hostess who the other dinner party attendees are so you can decide
whether to go. At the dinner party, he also gets into an awkward discussion
of inferring someone is gay and insulting a gay couple in the process. He
also has to wrestle with how to break up with his girlfriend now that she
was just diagnosed with cancer, in order to reunite with his wife.
Then there is the story about Funkhouser's crazy sister (played by Catherine
O'Hara, known for the Christopher Guest/Eugene Levy movies such as "A Mighty
Wind", "Waiting For Guffman", "Best In Show" and "For Your Consideration")
and Larry's agent Jeff, but I'll let you see the show for the surprise.

Yabbut, didn't Sally Weaver already have an HBO special? :-)
