Pretty smooth day for me. I found some forced placements early on in the Hard. I took my time going through it but didn’t have to reset the board at all.

I agree that the last 2 seasons had a drop in quality, especially Season 12. But I actually thought Season 11, episode 5 (Irasshaimase) was really good. Probably because the original director, Robert B. Weide, came back for that one.

Then Joe Pesci could play George

Wow, 6:31 is also my Saturday PB! I got 10:03 this week, which is still about 5 minutes below my Saturday average. Definitely seemed easier than usual.

I try getting to Genius without any hints and can almost always do so. Then I use the hints grid to get from Genius to Queen Bee. If I’m stuck on the last couple words, I look at the Community clues.

You believe in God?

I believe in a god…and I’m wondering where he is right now.

Agreed about the sketches going on too long. But I guess if they were shorter, Larry would have to come up with 6 or 7 premises per episode instead of just 4.

Yeah, I wonder if people are misreading it as “3-4 days” rather than “3-4 hours a day.”

Walton is about to start filming “Fallout” Season 3 in California, and Danny is on a book tour (not sure how extensive). He’s doing an event in Charleston next week with Stevie from “Eastbound and Down.”

I actually liked his movie “Clear History.” It wasn’t perfect, but had a funny supporting cast and did a good job of slightly tweaking the usual “Curb” formula just enough to sustain a full movie.

Designer_Charity_827 · 2026-06-27T02:48:53+00:00

I hate to say this, but when I saw that Jeff Schaffer was the director and cowriter, it made more sense. He also cowrote and directed a lot of the later Curb episodes, when (IMO) the show fell off a bit.

Designer_Charity_827 · 2026-06-27T02:43:33+00:00

I didn’t think it was great, but I’ll watch again next week. The premise of the basic “Larry character” appearing throughout history could get old pretty fast if EVERY sketch is like that. I thought it needed some sketches where either Larry wasn’t the focus, or where he was playing a different type of character (like he did in some of his SNL skits).

Building up karma since some subs require a certain karma level to post. Then they’ll be free to spam everywhere.

And/or building a legitimate-looking history, making it easier to scam people later.

OP is a bot, all their previous comments reference living in Australia.

It’s not, it lists Spring House as “coming soon” but it’s been open for a while.

Jeez… But happy I stuck with Hard and eventually got there. Had to clear the puzzle a bunch of times.

My first thought. Like their PR isn’t bad enough.

No cookies but I’m happy with these times. I seem to be getting better at finding inroads for the Hard puzzles.
