what happened to the HBO show ARLIS?

great show better than this reality TV stuff.

Anyway, they could do a great story line on the Joe NAmouth type of situation. Would be a good one.

Is it back in 2004 at all?

ARLISS WAS GREAT, BUT HBO USED TO HAVE A SHOW CALLED 1ST AND 10. THAT WAS THE BEST SHOW THEY DID.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best show on HBO.

1st and 10 was solid. It had a thin delta burke and remember the QB Yanessa - he played the husband of Demi Moore in GI Jane

Best show on HBO was Oz.

Agree with sometech, CYE is somewhat disappointing. I was expecting big things from that show given the Seinfeld connection.

When I first started watching it, I thought it was great too. After seeing more episodes though, it's striking me as a little too formulaic, the same theme over and over again...Larry walks around and people get pissed off at him and misunderstand him because he has a somewhat low social IQ.

My favorite episodes are the one on Halloween when he wouldn't give candy to those two smart-ass girls, so they "tricked" his house; and the one with Cheri Oteri from SNL when she attacks Jeff's wife when she hears the Disney theme that she can't get out of her head from working in a Disney place for 14 years. I liked the one where Larry gets a pubic hair stuck in his throat too. CYE is like Seinfeld with profanity. Sometimes, it's as good as it gets.

How about "The Man Show"? The Man Show Boy kicks ass. They had a whole half-hour devoted to the MSBoy in December. I've never laughed that hard for 30 minutes straight through in my life. When Joe Dirt came on afterwards, it was a letdown, and Joe Dirt was strong in it's own right.
