I had a tough time figuring out how I’d order my Sunday night’s lineup, and there’s a very close fourth show that I struggled with adding over Entourage.
Curb Your Enthusiasm — The Seinfeld moments alone give this episode my number one pick of the night. I caught this episode a couple of weeks ago, but still the awesomely funny digs at the lackluster Seinfeld finale won’t soon be forgotten. Most weeks, Curb doesn’t do much in the way of being remarkable, but making a reunion episode about making a reunion episode was brilliant.
Dexter — Didn’t get my top pick this week because of that great Curb episode, and also because it dealt so much with Dexter trying to find a missing bag of body parts. Not that that was bad, but it didn’t make the episode stand out to me. I saw the episode that follows this one already, and so far I expect it to make it into the top two next week.
Entourage — This almost didn’t make my list this week, but it had two things that brought it in for me: Matt Damon and Ari’s paintball rampage. Best scene from the episode:
Talent agent at Ari’s old (and now new) firm: “I … I represent Jon & Kate Plus 8!”
Ari’s paintball gun: *pow pow pow pow pow pow*
I’m just so sick of watching E’s relationships and especially Turtle, who continues to be a wanted man by the ladies and somehow was able to skip out of taking college classes to take a trip to New Zealand (and then, screw it, Rome). Ari saved the episode, once again.
The show that almost replaced Entourage in this list was the season premiere of The Next Iron Chef. Really well done and makes Hell’s Kitchen look like the dog crap that Gordon Ramsay always says he’s eating week after week. This is clearly a serious cooking show, and with real gourmet chefs of note. No screaming and no smoke breaks here. I’m on for watching the rest.

I thought The Next Iron Chef was dog crap, it was just stupid and gross.
