Its not a love story between Cheryl and David, of course theyre long divorced.
Its not even a love story between Larry David and himself though its close to that.
No,Curb Your Enthusiasmis a love story between Larry David and Leon Black.
The Larry David ofCurb Your Enthusiasm(and maybe even real life) is a difficult person.
Hes a self-pronounced fixer.
Sometimes this is a welcome trait.
I think business is gonna boom!
I really do, he says.
Im so thrilled about this whole thing!

*Played by Oscar-winning screenwriter andCommunitys Dean Pelton: Jim Rash!
There is only one Leon Black, however.
And Leon Black is at the end of the day truly the only person who understands Larry.
You think black people prefer black sugar to white?
Leon, however, answers immediately.
Anything brown over white.
Ten years ago (season 6 ofCurb Your Enthusiasmwas ten years ago!)
And who could have imagined it would not be the character played by Vivica A.
The Pickle Gambit is a superb episode ofCurb Your Enthusiasmand may even one day be listed among the classics.
The Pickle Gambit features plenty of both.
Buck Dancer is not here to mess around.
Even in adversarial moments, David has such a chemistry with those around him, particularly Leon.
Leon takes initiative in becoming Larrys head of security.
This, of course, leads to Swat performing his own brand of coitus interruptus twice.
Before that though, Larrys introduction to Swat is just spectacular.
Its not just Leon that Larry is able to bounce off beautifully, however.
Two other characters make their return toCurb Your Enthusiasmin The Pickle Gambit one expected and one rather surprising.
After taking week one off, Funkhouser is back!
And this time hes brought his super high-achieving young nephew, Kenny.
He will exploit that later in his hotel pickle gambit.
Larrys chemistry with the admittedly bizarre Funkhouser is so wonderful and effortless.
- Larry and Marty are so weirdly comfortable with each other that of course this would be happening.
Its just a day ending in y in the David household.
*Hes got a cast on his right ardm you see, and no one uses their left.
That was a welcome surprise.
Naturally Larry just yells names of people in the Trump administration.
I expected a lot of things from this season ofCurb.
I did not expect to hear Larry David climax while yelling RUDY GULLIAANNNNIII!
Everything comes to together quite nicely by the end of The Pickle Gambit as well.
was great but its The Pickle Gambit that really feels like the first episode ofCurb Your Enthusiasmin six years.
