Any excitement for the return of Curb Your Enthusiasm?

[True Dough]

Last episode aired in 2011! It's coming back on HBO later this year.

Curb Your Enthusiam is finally returning for more comical misunderstandings. HBO hasn’t announced an official premiere date yet, but while introducing The Roots at the Roots Picnic music festival in Philadelphia, J.B. Smoove revealed the Emmy-winning comedy is back on October 1.

TV Guide reached out to HBO to confirm the air date, but they were met with a “no comment.” Early October makes sense, though. The new seasons of Game of Thrones, Insecure, and Ballers will have come and gone by then, and the network needs something on Sunday nights to pair with The Deuce, which debuts on September 10. HBO can call it the Deuce and Douche block.

Little is known about the new season of Curb, although Smoove also said “everybody’s back, man,” while co-star Jeff Garlin teased, “It’s coming back with all the things about it that people love… The storyline is rather insane.”

1. Probably one of the two reasons I'm keeping HBO.

The other is John Oliver.

2. This show has been gone far too long. I've been craving a crazy Larry and Susie argument.

Can't wait for more Larry and Leon scenes as well. Better yet, I hope there are more awkward scenes between Larry and children. Those go beyond comedy gold all the way to comedy platinum levels of hilarity.

3. And the interaction between Larry and Richard Lewis.

Love Richard Lewis.

4. They do have the weirdest fights. Clearly they love each other.

5. My daughter talked me into watching it on Netflix.

As far as I'm concerned, it stunk on ice! Just possibly the worst waste of air time I've ever attempted to watch. It was even worse than Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond, and those two set a pretty high bar for video stench.

6. If you hated Seinfeld, it's no surprise you hated CYE. Do

you hate Veep as well ?

It's a humor you either click into, or not. I love all 3 myself, even though I find myself hiding under the cushions for some of the cringing situations in CYE.

8. I haven't watched Veep. n/t

7. Did you forget the sarcasm gif? Or are you serious?

9. Very serious.

When I watch a show, whether comedy, action, or drama, I want to watch characters I can care about and identify with. It's hard to care about a show when every character on it is phony and superficial.

Every show has to have a few characters you hate, but that has to be balanced with some characters you really love. Even a few scoundrels that you love to hate add variety to the mix. Sure, I hated Joffrey and Tywin in Game of Thrones. Everyone did. But there were other characters, sympathetic characters I could genuinely care about, and worry over. Same in Deadwood, or The Wire. A nice mix of villains and good guys. And often characters that were a mixture of both. Was Mance Rayder a villain or a good guy? Some of each.

Or take NCIS. The main characters are sympathetic and relatable, while the hateful characters come and go as each week's featured villains.

Or take Gilmore Girls. Almost every character was loveable and sympathetic, (even grandma) and the "villain" was the situations they faced, or some passing bad guy du-jour.

But in Seinfeld, not one single character was genuine and relatable. Not one single "warm and fuzzy" character that you would like to have as a real-life friend. I was utterly indifferent to every character in Seinfeld, so why bother watching people you don't care about. And Everybody Loves Raymond was just a pretext for having people yell at each other. "What!?! You bought the wrong kind of Kleenex? You're worthless!." "No, you are!" "Oh yeah, well so's your old man!" Nothing but shouting, anger, bitterness, and canned laughter each time somebody shouted something mean or insulting.

10. Love it

I like how just it Seinfeld, the situations seem to relate to me, for the most part. I love Leon!
Ejaculate??

11. Can't wait for the return of Susie!
