FTA-TV Curb Your Enthusiasm

[SM]

Was ok, slow burn to start but came home strong.

A few good moments but seemed a little forced to me

Definitely the klan stuff felt a bit off through the ep, the other plots were better.

The optometrist bit picking between 1 or 2 landed with me as I've always thought that.

Episode started slow but really picked up towards the end, was a great episode overall. Gotta admit I lost my s**t at Mary Ferguson walking into Larry's house to see Leon eating a bunch of watermelons

I actually thought the robe was going to get delivered or something but realised the punchline moments before haha.

I agree actually. It's certainly the one with the greatest laugh out loud factor for me so far this season. If it can maintain that level it'll be pretty pretty pretty pretty good.

Another great episode, back to its best

 

[Kirby]

Pretty pretty good

 

[Sweet Jesus]

This season has been excellent so far.

His embarrassed scurry away and then the shameful look on his face when Larry found the watermelon in the bin had me cackling quite loudly. Then Leon launches into his defence and I really lost it.

great ep. but maybe i am ignorant, is there some significance about watermelon and black people?

It's a really insulting trope that started in cartoons/minstrel shows.

It was the part of the episode that fell flat as a gag for me, which is rare in Curb

 

[The Dice Man]

Needs more Leon.

I'm pretty sure I remember some Bugs Bunny or Looney Tunes cartoons that leaned heavily into it ...

watermelon, fried chicken and grape soda are the trilogy I think…

Needs more Leon.

Probably Leon was actually the poor part of this episode.
His flattest scenes in all the time I been watching Curb.

Is it turning into Seinfeld Season 8 and 9? One or two seasons too many.

Needs more Leon.

Needs more Richard Lewis

Sometimes in life you think you know just about everything there is to know and then you read that page.
Dreadful.

The whole episode ran that knife edge fine line with Race. I wonder what, if any backlash has happened?
