That was a wonderful episode. Stealing the Holocaust shoes and talking the Mormon husband into taking on a girlfriend were highlights for me.

That was fantastic. Could be a top 3 "Curb" of all-time. I laughed out loud so many times. The Oscar music play off. Larry now a "roper". The hugging. Susie talking about Leon jizzing on her towels. Larry dancing out of the museum. This season sure started off rough. But the last 4 episodes more than made up for it.

It was really shaping up to be a great finale right up to stealing the shoes (and the Susie comment about Leon desecrating her monogrammed towels) but the last 15 minutes were awful by Curb standards. What a shame.

Thought that the finale was firing on all cylinders. They really put that guest cameo to good use with A. Vindman. Hoping this isn't the end of the show and he comes back again with a season 12. While I thougth S11 was not as strong as S10, the finale redeemed it quite a bit for me.

Good episode! Leon kills it, every time. I really thought he'd get stale, but he's so well written/improvised, it just works.
I like the Mary Ferguson from this episode. Something about her was very appealing, though the outcome was a bit too telegraphed.
The play-off music was a great bit.
The scene with the Mormon expressing how proud he was over his new girlfriend was pretty funny.

My only nitpick is that the entire season Leon needs someone named Mary Ferguson to use his airplane ticket, but then Alex Vindman can get on the plane with a ticket for Leon Black?

I thought the episode was very funny and very good about bringing the stories together. I loved that Larry didn't just steal the Holocaust shoes, but danced away in them!
My only complaint about it as the season finale was that the fate of Young Larry was left ambiguous. Although I guess we can just assume that if they couldn't get rid of the shitty actress, they show just imploded.

Jeff cracked me up. That has to be improv in that scene, I've never seen him so astonished before .

Liked the episode except for the Vindman stuff which was really overdone. And before anyone thinks this is a political thing, it’s not. I loved the MAGA hat bit from last season. THAT was well done. The Vindman stuff was just…ugh.
This season sucked for the most part largely due to a flimsy premise with the 5 foot fence. Everything bad derived from that. The best things were the smaller moments and incidental stuff.

Agree that the 5 foot fence and the Maria Sophia stuff really dragged the season down. He was never looking at jail time and money is no object to him. Much like the Fatwah in Season 9, the overriding story didn't work at all.

This is one of my favorite all-time shows and I love Larry David, but certainly wasn’t the best season, and wasn’t a huge fan of the Maria Sophia stuff.
Unless I’m just not remembering correctly, hasn’t it only been the last 3-4 seasons that’s there’s been a underlying storyline (Maria Sophia, Fatwa, etc)? I feel like the show was better off when each episode was just a one off, and occasionally they would revisit themes or characters throughout the season.

David and Lewis are both 74 right now. I don't know if my stomach can take any more storylines that involve their sex lives.

I put off watching season eleven when it was airing and then kind of forgot about it so I still haven’t watched it. One of these days.

I liked it more than the Jihad season (S9?). That one was awful.

I must be the only one here who thinks the Leon character doesn't add much to the show. Why is he still living with Larry after all these years? That makes no sense, especially given Larry's neuroses and selfishness. And Leon's humour consists of fitting as many "motherfucker"s and "motherfuckin'"s into a sentence and scene as he can. Not funny.
In any case, my mother and I enjoyed this season as much as any of the others, and look forward to more.

I haven’t disliked any of the seasons so far. I may agree that the ninth was the weakest one though. It was just hit and miss that year.
Typical answer probably but I liked the Seinfeld reunion episode season (season seven) best. Just fun seeing the casts of both shows together.
I like season four with Larry cast in the broadway version of The Producers too.

Though Season 3 with the restaurant is great as well. I think ‘Chet’s Shirt’ from that season is one of my all time favorite episodes.
