Not a huge fan of Rosie O'Donnell, but at least Leon is back.

Just the concept of Larry having to compete with fatso Rosie for what will presumably be a more attractive (dare I say) lipstick lesbian is funny enough already.

This sounds like it's bound to be classic. Can't wait!

Really good one. Episode should definitely have been called "The Shit Bow".

Great episode. Storyline with Rosie was funny, and Leon was great.

I didn't see Leon in next week's preview, but I hope he's in it. Would love to see Larry David agree to the spinoff show JB Smoove has been pushing him for.

What a fantastic episode. The show is great without him, but Leon just adds that little something extra.

What was up with Rosie's neck?

Maybe because I love baseball so much, but this was my favorite episode of CURB ever!

P.S. Someone HAS to make a GIF of Larry crushing that ball and then doing the shoulder shrug, hilarious!

@ Leon and all of his comments. I was dreading to see Rosie, but the scenes between her and Larry were great!

Rosie creeps me out a lot and I didn't really find her all that funny, but my favorite line from Leon:

Larry: "You drove? Why didn't you fly?"
Leon: "Fly? No way. You need a picture ID for that. F____ that."

Awesome.

I am watching this and had to pause at the 'shit bow' scene in the park to gather myself. I don't want this episode to end. It's already one of the all timers and not even finished yet, too many great moments/lines to list (though "You want me to juice?" killed me). The only downside is now I will forever have to admit I liked something Rosie was in.

Looked like the sun couldn't tan between the fat folds in her neck.

Great episode! Lots of big laughs in this one. It was great to have Leon back and the Rosie vs. Larry rivalry was classic. I loved how they referred to the Viagra as juicing. It has been a pretty strong season.

The million dollar question has been answered.

I think an encounter between Leon and Rosie could have been funny as well.

Saw the juicing/baseball tie-in coming a mile away... but it was still funny.

Love seeing Leon. He decided to take in a roommate with Larry in NY.

Just as I thought classic episode. Larry "juicing" , the shit bow, Leon coming back. All around just great stuff and I agree that Rosie can be annoying but the cameos she's had on Curb have always been pretty good in my opinion.

Great episode. I know this is ridiculous, but I feel insulted on JB Smooth's behalf that he dosen't get his own title card in the end credits. They lumped him in with the fucking guest stars. Susie Essman got her own title card and I didn't even see her in the episode.

Well, Larry was smart enough to have Leon in the first 2 eps of the season and then we don't see him until now (Episode 7).

Yes, he should be recognized more because he's fucking hilarious. Damn near everybody here seems to love seeing him on the show.

I'm hoping he'll show up a little bit in the final 3 shows of the season.

Loved that one of Leon's excuses for coming to New York was that his roommate was driving him crazy,
and of course Larry's puzzled reaction. And Leon bragging how it's BS that Larry's car supposedly seats four because he was carrying eight passengers no problem.

"Where's my room? Where's my fucking room Larry?"

It's amazing how everything that man says is hilarious. No matter how trivial or non-joke like.

Yeah - so Larry is like you left all my worldly possessions with some stranger I've never even met? And Leon is completely unaware he's done anything wrong.

AND a baby's carseat!

I don't quite see the seasonal arc yet, but I'm sure it's coming...
