Man, this is one funny show. Season 7 aired in 2009 and Season 8 won't air until 2011 (after Seasons 5 and 6 aired in '05 and '07 respectively), and with just ten episodes per season, the series is only putting out an average of five episodes a year lately. But the vast amounts of time between the seasons are well worth the wait; Curb Your Enthusiasm is flat-out hilarious. And this season was just as good as any other. The main story arc here is that Larry David devises a plan to win back his ex-wife by creating a Seinfeld reunion and casting her in it as George's ex-wife. So, in essence, the last two episodes of Season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm are somewhat of a Seinfeld reunion. Now, I enjoyed the Seinfeld bits last November, but that was before I sat down and watched the entire series from beginning to end. Seeing them again, they resonate so much better. I'm all the more impressed that they got so many recurring Seinfeld characters to reunite for an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And make no mistake - Season 7 contains plenty of humor that has nothing to do with Seinfeld or any of its characters or actors. In fact, just three of the ten episodes included said actors; the other seven were full of typical Curb nonsense and debauchery. I feel pretty incoherent right now, so I'll just wrap this up and give Curb Your Enthusiasm a hearty recommendation. Also, kudos to Michael Richards for being able to poke fun at himself in one episode for his infamous "nigger" incident.
