Title: Curb Your Enthusiasm
Review: What is there to say about this absolutely bizarre show that continued the Seinfeld tradition of being about nothing- except possibly the most annoying person ever to grace the small or large stage. The final season went out with a bang- with all kinds of late references to Seinfeld-and even a Jerry sighting. The ensemble cast of zany real Hollywood types was entertaining throughout and the main players had amazing rapport and chemistry. Watching Larry and Susie berate each other became high art. It always looked they were having too much fun doing this show. It’s tempting to believe that liking or hating this show was mostly a function of cultural background- but it may simply be one of good or bad taste-and clearly mine can go in either direction. The opening scenes of the last season’s first episode with Larry going at it fil tilt with Siri pretty much captures it all. I will miss this antichrist despite all his shortcomings, which rank as equal or greater than almost any living individual.
