I was fortunate enough to receive the Second Season of Curb Your Enthusiasm for Christmas. In fact, I got two copies of it. So I exchanged one for Season One. The problem with having all those on DVD is that when I sit down to watch one episode, I watch three. It’s like when I eat salsa and I’m thinking, “all right, only a couple of chips,” and then I eat like half the container of salsa. Except that after Curb, I don’t feel bloated at all. My point being, with only 10 episodes per season, I’ll burn through those discs in no time and then what will I watch?

I had to force myself to stop last night by removing the DVD from the player. I put in Season One of The Office (another Christmas present). Not having seen it previously, I don’t know what to think of the show. We laughed several times through the episode we watched but it’s just so cringe-inducing. Not quite as silly as my favorite British tv shows. I’m still just praying that they release I’m Alan Partridge for American DVD players. Or I will buy a universal DVD player just for it. Just thinking of Alan Partridge had me do a quick search of Amazon and I added Every Ruddy Word to my insane wish list.
