Danson on Curb is wonderful, but I thought it was the same old shtick on Bored. I'll go it again.<br /><br />Patti: American Salvage -- GREAT collection of short stories.

Ja...I'm glad you gave the show a second chance. Jason Schwartzman, who was a bit undefined in the early episodes, is now my favorite thing in it. He does a fine job playing a well-meaning narcissist. Every case is about him. He's the bizarro Lew Archer. Hell, even the pothead humor works for me.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473441336451528462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-29680855739888314962009-11-02T20:01:59.575-08:002009-11-02T20:01:59.575-08:00I liked him in HELP ME HELP YOU, and he's usua...I liked him in HELP ME HELP YOU, and he's usually good in CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM...but I tend to like his work, even when, as with DAMAGES and CHEERS, I'm not so impressed with the series. He helped make BECKER more watchable than it would be otherwise.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-78138108737341658882009-11-02T18:54:02.727-08:002009-11-02T18:54:02.727-08:00Yeah Patti two people told me to see Damages to se...Yeah Patti two people told me to see Damages to see Danson. I don't have anything against him he just seems limited to the same few mannerisms over and over. But then he seems to be living in a mansion these days doesn't he?

I was never a big fan of Sam Malone in Cheers but his character's willingness to come along on their crazy escapades in BORED TO DEATH has completely won me over and they make a crazy threesome. He's a rich bored man looking for some fun. He perfected this role in DAMAGES last year and is playing it to even more effect here. IMHO, of course. I think the missing episodes might clarify his role. But maybe not.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-2501426573400858682009-11-02T16:25:28.736-08:002009-11-02T16:25:28.736-08:00Indeed. This was the first episode I've seen.....Indeed. This was the first episode I've seen...Zach G. was going to have to be the most valuable comic actor at hand, and (almost Of Course, this being US tv) the women involved were much too good-looking for the men they are or were involved with. And the disappointed lesbian customers montage was indeed quite good.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.com
