I just started watching this show and didn't expect to like it this much from the beginning but it's really good and this episode is the best so far (well out of the only 5 episodes I've seen!)
What I like about this show is that every little thing that happens or Larry does has consequences and is gonna make an impact at the end, so everything that happens in an episode has a purpose and I think it's cool.

Interior Decorator 10/10.
This is Larry David at his finest continued on from the previous great episode that flipped me full time onto this series. Larry literally fights and wrestles with women as they assault his common sense and decency. So far out there and yet so close to the truth of it all.
Very good one-liners and stereotypical people from all walks of life in both their careers/jobs and race make this a truly funny time to be had for warped sensibilities and those who understand the zaniness of it all (my apologies for having to written this second line of b.s. But I needed to extend my time to 10 lines (really???)).

Larry certainly does burn his bridges with wild abandon...

... and on top of that he breaks a rule I like to follow - NEVER have people that you need individually with bonds between them so that if the relationship with one goes sour then all of them go sour. Larry breaks this rule with wild abandon because his doctor is married to his attorney and he and Diane Keaton - who he is trying to hire for something he is producing - have the same interior decorator.
Larry gets mad at all of them - except Diane Keaton. He refuses to pay his attorney, he makes a scene in the doctor's office, and he fires the interior decorator who claims she is owed some money. He seems surprised that all of these people value their own time in high dollar amounts but discount the importance of his own.
He gets on Diane Keaton's bad side because of things he actually could not help - tardiness because of his doctor's ridiculous appointment policy and his lack of cash when he is trying to exit a parking lot.
In the year 2000 people do have mobile phones - I saw Larry use one in the previous episode - but they are just that - telephones that are mobile and nothing else. Note all of the people at the doctor's office thumbing through magazines when today they would be playing on their phones which are pretty much handheld computers.
Note that the part of Larry's attorney is played by Nia Vardalos, who will play the lead in the surprise hit "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in 2002.
