Happy to see Jon Hamm back. Bringing in Bob Einstein's more famous brother is also interesting.

That caught my eye as well. I assume he'll play Funkhauser's brother at Marty's funeral. Very intrigued.

Leon talking about taking a dog to the vet and how they always add shit on. 😂

I love JB Smoove in this.

Ugh mostly a low quality episode reminiscent of the stuff from season five.
Spoiler:
I hate it when shows completely ignore referencing major plot points from previous seasons (wine stain on couch...like why doesn't Larry or Jeff even passingly mention club soda and salt even if it doesn't work in any capacity in the current situation).
I feel like the hoarding stuff would have worked better last year.


I'm sure things will only improve as the seasons moves along.

I thought it was prettay, prettay, prettay good.

Yeah, I thought about the club soda and salt reference, too, but no biggie.

Funniest line, to me, was:
Spoiler:
Leon about Curly... "That little fat motherfucker, who run on the floor, like in circles, going 'woo woo woo woo...' That motherfucker never got no ass. I guarantee you."

Nice ending to the episode, too.

I noticed Cheryl in the credits, but didn't see her in the episode. I guess she just gets billing for every episode.

I thought it was ok. Chuckled a few times.

I know Larry wants to be paid back just for the principle of it - it's not because he's cheap and definitely not that he needs the money (he's loaded). But I still expected someone to tell him "you're fucking loaded - let it go".

I liked Hamm explaining to Larry about why his movie never got released.
​​​​​​"Maybe it was the performance?"
"No, the test audiences liked my performance, they just hated the character"

I thought it had some great moments, like when Lucy Liu told Larry to go inside and wrap up in a warm blanket and replied, "Could I knit as well?"
The blackmail didn't totally work for me, though I did like her "headshot" photo she handed them.
Great to have this show back.

Those Netflix producers fake laugh at nearly everything Larry pitched was cringe.

Other than that I liked the episode.

Sure, the hoarding reference would have worked better last year had that season's storyline circulated around the pandemic. It didn't. Because it was filmed prior. So while it felt somewhat dated now because there is no longer any shortage with those items, it was still funny IMO.

I mean she's still famous enough for people to know who she is by her name. The show isn't making her out to be the biggest star in Hollywood or anything.

Yeah, I don't get a comment like that.

Is this a series where new seasons happen whenever Larry David feels like making them?

Yes that is exactly correct. It's an open invitation to Larry whenever he wants. I really thought he was done after S8 and am very glad I was wrong.

This was fun. Didn’t really care for the blackmail plot, but man the first 20 minutes was funny as hell, especially Leon.

I could watch Larry and Leon interact all day. Susie was great too in the first half of the episode.

I knew the second walk into the glass was happening, I just didn't know to who. Good pick.
