Netflix Release-TV or Movie?

So one thing I love about Netflix, and I love MANY things about Netflix, is that I also watch some TV shows that I have never watched before, like many HBO shows. While I own Sex and the City, I have flixed The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Curb Your Enthusiasm. We have just finished the 6th season of Curb, and Larry David continues to be either a complete idiot or a comic genius.

For those who do not know, Larry David is the co-creator of Seinfeld, and the character of George is largely based on Larry. Gives you an idea of who he is right there. But in the Curb he plays himself even robustly. Larry is man without a filter, and at its worst, Curb makes you shudder with annoyance at the things that irk this character. But at its best, (and its best happens much more frequently than its worst) Larry is a modern day Don Quixote, standing up for the put upon, voicing the consternation that PC speech has made elusive for the rest of us.

And example of what irks Larry. Going into an ice cream place, to get some ice cream for his wife (the very funny Cheryl Hines, Larry finds himself waiting behind a woman who insists on sampling every single flavor the shop is offering....EVERY SINGLE ONE! Now, we have all been behind this person in line before in one form or another. The person that cares not a whit that someone else is waiting...the person who has no regard for others at all, but is so frickin' self centered they will take frickin' hours to make up their mind on what kind of ice cream they WANT!!! (Deep breath). Well, we politely grumble about it later, but as I said, Larry lacks some filtration, and starts complaining about it then. Is he right? Of course he is. But does he handle it well. Equally as right that he does not.

The 6th season offers some very funny moments. And Larry writing in his own real life divorce was inspiration. Each season should be watched a few at a time, because you can easily OD on his attitude and comedy both. But there are times where you just root for him so strongly, and do not understand how other cannot see how right he is.
