Corrected entry: Larry tries to find the name and phone number of the woman he was talking to in the waiting room. The receptionist begins to list the names on the sign-in sheet until she reaches 'Paula'. Larry nods to this, however Paula never told him her name, nor was there ever an off-screen moment when she could have. She could have been any of the women the receptionist named.
Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000)
1 corrected entry in season 6
Starring: Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, Larry David
Genres: Comedy
The Bracelet - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: This mistake really applies to two episodes in season 1. In The Bracelet, Larry is approached by a homeless man who thanks him for the Chicken L'Orange. As a result of this (and his unkempt appearance), the women at the jewelry store will not buzz him into the store. The mistake is that Larry doesn't give this man the Chicken L'Orange until the 7th episode, AAMCO. And it is not just that the episodes aired out of order. Because in the episodes between these two, there are references that show that this IS the correct order of this season. So this becomes a circular reference that can't possibly exist.
Larry: We're going to put sweet potatoes on the menu... because you can't find sweet potatoes anywhere else, have you noticed that.
Cheryl: Oh, everyone's noticed that.
Trivia: In Season 8 - Ep 8, Larry and Jeff decide to invest in an inventor who has created a Car Periscope. Larry David actually introduced this idea 15 years ago in an episode of Seinfeld - "The Invitations".
Question: When Larry David goes to the Playboy mansion, everyone screams and runs away from him. Was there something I missed, like an inside joke or comment from an earlier show, to explain why? Or was something revealed later? Or is it just another case of strangers reacting oddly around Larry?

Correction: In this scene, I assumed the receptionist was giving Larry some subtle signal that she knew it was Paula, and Larry is kind of pretending to already know.
