"Flinging the F bomb three times in every other sentence just tells me the comic has a hard time coming up with innovative material."

Have you seen Larry David's HBO show, "Curb Your Enthusiasm"? It is occasionally funny, but it is laced with profanity. One episode ends with an entire restaurant full of people - including granny types - shouting crude profanities at each other.

I don't have HBO at home and only watch it occasional when I'm traveling. I've heard little about Curb Your Enthusiasm but I should look for it just to check it out.

Larry David did get his fame from writing many episodes of Seinfeld but Jerry Seinfeld had the final say in the scripts and did some writing himself. There were also quite a few shows where David had no input and other writers did the scripts. Some incredible work by them all and not an F word in any of the 197.

I should add that I thought George Carlin's "Meaning of the "F Word" is incredibly funny. It's all about the need to use it and not the using it to say "look at me" that works in humor.
