I think I tend to like a dry sense of humor too, but my problem with CYE is that after a while I find Larry David more irritating than funny.

Heh, well looking down on all things American seems to be a favorite pastime of some Brits. But of course thinking that everything produced by a given culture is entirely homogenous is a silly and simplistic way of looking at things to say the least.

If you do watch it, make sure you check out more than one episode. I had to watch a few before I stopped comparing all the characters to their British counterparts and just enjoyed them as their own characters.
