Ricky Gervais! Chris Parnell! Larry David continues to pull out all the stops when it comes to booking guests this season, with these two comedic powerhouses popping up in significant roles in this week’s episode, which also features former Daily Show correspondent (and an underrated one at that) Dan Bakkedahl playing a nosy waiter.
Last night’s show, “The Hero,” picks up right where the previous episode left off — a rare thing for Curb — with Larry eating Pinkberry on a plane trip to New York with Jeff and Susie. Susie seems to have calmed down significantly since the end of last week’s episode, though. She no longer seems [...]
Eight seasons in and Curb Your Enthusiasm is getting some of its best ratings ever. This past Sunday's episode, "Palestinian Chicken," drew 2.4 million viewers, its highest ratings in seven years. The ratings have been growing pretty dramatically episode-to-episode so far this season, and I'm guessing that trend will only continue once Larry gets to NYC after the next two episodes. Is it because the show is better than ever?

Watching it, I suddenly felt like an outsider at a party I invited myself to. And this party was full of really, [...]
It’s been nearly two years since the last new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, as Larry David has lately been taking advantage of being on the same network as The Sopranos to take Sopranos-sized hiatuses. When we last saw Larry and the gang, it was at the end of season seven’s excellent Seinfeld reunion story arc, and Larry had finally won Cheryl back, only to instantly start fighting with her over coasters. We were left wondering, over the hiatus, whether these two stayed together, but my DVR answered that one for me a few weeks back when the episode title, “The Divorce,” popped up.
I’ve got to say, although [...]
