So glad Curb is finally back.

I hope we get a couple good lines from Susie Essman tonight.

I wonder if they'll use the Kat Von D joke that Jeff Garlin said they might when that whole Jesse James/Sandra Bullock bru-ha-ha was going on. It is perfect for Curb.

For those unfamiliar... (not really a spoiler, but just in case)
Spoiler:
Larry would be dating a girl then they finally have sex and when he going down on her he realizes she has a swastika tattoo above her vagina.

Man, this wait is killer (all 90 minutes left of it) It's been far too long without a new CYE episode.

"How you gonna fuck bitches in a twin bed!"

The scene with Larry trying to figure out the tampon killed me

Good stuff. Anytime Leon and Larry are together it's great. Larry trying to figure out the tampon was hilarious too.

I lost it when Suzie went off and then they panned to the hidden Funkhousers.

Glad the show is back but I was very underwhelmed by the episode. It felt like they wanted to set up Larry being single again, but they could have handled the divorce as having happened between the season. I didn't get much out of the lawyer fixation.

The tampon scene was great. I was terrified that Larry was going to lose patience and barge in to help her out!

Next week's episode looks good.

Huge Seinfeld and CYE fan through these years, but wow that was an unfunny episode. Of course Leon, Suzie and Funkhauser are always good, but everything with Larry just felt forced.

This was classic curb, hilarious from start to finish.

Is Gary Cole under contract to appear in the premiere of all HBO shows now?

We'll see if he shows up on Entourage in 2 weeks. I can't remember how his storyline left off, but it'd be pretty funny if he was in the season premiere.

I enjoyed this episode. The lawyer bit was kind of predictable, but still funny.

I had a chuckle at Jeff being jealous of everyone else getting a divorce, while he's still stuck with Susie.

Decent episode. I'm glad Leon is still around; part of what continues to make this show so funny is that Leon is just hanging around after his family has moved away. The scene about him having sex in Larry's bed was fantastic.

It was funny, but a bit too obvious. Arrested Development really perfected the pan out after an awkward conversation, and now it's just too obvious when other shows try to do it.

Agreed. A lot of the episode and moving the plot forward felt forced and unnatural, especially considering they spent the bulk of last season trying to get Larry and Cheryl back together. The stuff about the lawyer passing himself off as Jewish was funny, but everyone switching lawyers because of the religion seemed a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, that was easily one of the best scenes of the episode. Really funny, well-executed, and cringe-inducing. I do sort of wish they had better addressed her dad being mad that Larry helped her out; seemed like it went unresolved, and usually Curb is good at having everything come full circle.

In the last scene with his lawyer, I SO expected a woman to pop out from under the desk after the previous conversation about it being big enough to get a bj.

Good to have the show back. I hope Cheryl is gone for good. Never liked the character.
