Curb Your Enthusiasm: Sixth-Season Finale ‘The Bat Mitzvah’
November 12, 2007 by Chandra
Missed Sunday night’s sixth-season finale of HBO’s wry Larry David vehicle Curb Your Enthusiasm? Well, have I got good news for you! The cable network’s giving the installment an encore replay tonight at 9pm EST. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet, official or not, on whether the show will return for season number seven.
The Bat Mitzvah
In the Season Six finale, an upcoming Bat Mitzvah provides Larry with an opportunity to clear up his recent domestic travails—as well as some nasty rumors.
Three Reasons to Watch the Sixth Season of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’
September 9, 2007 by Chandra
What’s in a plot? While the average viewer may have no clear idea, The Hollywood Reporter seems to believe that HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm has the various components down to perfection. In fact, the industry publication offers three reasons why viewers should not pass up the opportunity to watch the sixth season of the Larry David (Seinfeld) creation, which begins tonight at 10pm EST sharp. They are:
- It is the most perfectly plotted comedy on TV. At the end of the half-hour, all the seemingly random strands of story lines always manage to come together in a way you never expect.
- It is constantly funny. Not most of the time. Not with the right guest stars. Each and every episode.
- Who knows when you’ll see it again? Like a comet in the sky or the McRib sandwich at McDonald’s, it comes and goes without rhyme or reason. Maybe the mood will again strike creator and star Larry David and he’ll do another season. Maybe not. Even this one has just 10 episodes. Enjoy it while you can.
Sounds convincing to me. So, don’t forget to check out the sixth-season premiere of Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO tonight, if you feel inclined.
Given the title “Meet the Blacks” and Curb’s renowned frequent political incorrectness, astute fans can predict what the season premiere is all about. Yes, that’s right—David literally meets some black people when his wife Cheryl (Cheryl Hines of Waitress) convinces him to open their home to the African-American Black family, displaced following a disastrous hurricane. The new houseguests, who will remain in residence for several episodes this season, include Kill Bill star Vivica A. Fox.
