"Cured" feels like a return to form for Doug Naylor. This and the subsequent episodes bear out a pattern of relatively disappointing series (7,9,11) interrupted by series that gel (8 (yes 8), 10, 12). The density of original humor trumps other aspects in each. I would say this might mirror business, or lack thereof, in the co-creator's personal life. The characteristic, rapid, effective one-liners come as fast as those in the first three seasons of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. In the case of the latter, the last three seasons were bombs that ruined the show's reputation. With Dwarf, one trepidatiously approaches each new series, but in the end, the on-again off-again nature of exemplar Dwarf humor, by series, facilitates one's embracing the good years that much the more. The specifics of "Cured" are of less import than the quality of jibes therein, which is smegging awesome.
