One of the best episodes I've seen so far
26 January 2006 | by (UK) – See all my reviews

Larry David's shrink recommends that he take his wife to the beach over the weekend to help relax. He does so - only to see his psychiatrist there in a tiny thong! Mentally scarred, Larry finds himself unable to return for further counseling; however, he agrees to friend Rob Reiner that he will help support a disease foundation by being a guest speaker. Not all goes to plan.

This is one of the best episodes of "CYE." It's got everything the show has come to be known for - David's unique sense of humor, the reality-vibes, the Woody Allen neurotics, etc.

If you only get to see a handful of episodes of this TV show, make this one of them.
