Goodbye, Larry
Hard to believe the latest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is over. Feels like it just started. It was a below-average season but "Larry Vs. Michael J. Fox" ended it with a bang. It's maybe only one of two classic episodes this year (along with "Palestinian Chicken").
There were a lot of good gags, and my favorite may be Larry miming a violin to Jeff being taken the wrong way. Anyway, by the end, Larry, who was forced to move to New York to get out of a commitment, has to now spend two months in Paris (with Leon of course) for the same reason. I'm not sure if Larry will have another season, but if not, I guess we'll have to imagine him and Leon traveling around the world for the rest of their lives as Larry keeps getting himself in trouble.

It seemed like certain riffs were just getting going. Hitler ruining a moustache style, the name dropping therapist and Jeff and Susie's coming split seems like it would rife for fireworks. I actually liked the show better as it seemed (more) like a collection of individual jokes and small sketches and less like a coherent plotty episode. I thought the Buckner episode was a classic although the last 2 minutes (the Susigasm and fire rescue) seemed like it was written by the interns in 2 minutes but of course the Buckner thing is a whole bigger deal up here.
I also like Bloomberg being unafraid of playing himself as a fatuous ass when he kicked Larry out of New York. (But did he realize he looked like that?)
Yeah, the Buckner thing was pretty good. Maybe it's the third classic from the season.
