Watch These Great Cable TV Comedies

By Ellen Riggs

Who doesn't like a great TV comedy? I know that I do, and there are some shows whose new episodes I look forward to every week. I try to discover as many new shows as I possibly can, and I'd like to share one established show and one newer one that I happen to be a huge fan of.

Here are two enjoyable comedies on cable TV that you might like watching if you have a little more room in your day. I apologize in advance if you've already seen these shows. If you have in fact seen them, I don't doubt that you probably enjoy them too.

Larry David is absolutely great in Curb Your Enthusiasm. This show has been around for nearly seven years, and it seems to grow more popular with each season. I'm always laughing when I watch this show.

You might not know this, but Larry David was the original creator of Seinfeld. Rather than being a writer this time, he acts as the show's star. The situations he finds himself in are very awkward and funny all at once.

The situations are very Seinfeld-like, and if you liked Seinfeld, you'll definitely like Curb. The show is in the midst of what must be its 6th or 7th season in 2009, and you're in for a treat if you haven't seen the seasons before this one. I wish I could go back and watch so many original episodes for the first time.

The next show I'm going to mention is a lesser known comedy that I'm surprised more people don't know about. In fact, many people don't even realize that Starz has original productions. Regardless, Party Down follows the lives of a catering company in Los Angeles.

Each week, the characters on the show find themselves at a new event, and every half hour episode is full of laughs. From corporate retreats to college events and high school reunions, they're just about everywhere.

There are some actors on this show that you'll probably recognize from other shows and movies, and they all do an incredible job at bringing the show its many laughs. - 31887
