We are now six episodes into the seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and every episode is as good as the last.
I was skeptical that the return of the Seinfeld cast for the newest season would somehow alienate the niche Curb has created for itself, but so far it has been nothing but brilliant. Larry David has been careful to slowly weave in Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer while continuing to provide the situations that has made Curb the show it is. Each episode we still see David's neurotic personality encountering painfully funny scenes, while mixing in the occasionally celebrity to play themselves or a fictional character. This has been the show's format since the beginning and David was smart to not force too much of Seinfeld on the viewer.
While I believe the season (series?) finale will ultimately end with actual scenes that depict a true Seinfeld reunion, David will continue to explore his personal life that has made the show absolutely hilarious. The only question remains is how much of the Seinfeld cast we will actually see this season. Despite everything, for me, the more the better.

It's Gold Jerry...Gold!
One of the funniest shows on television is finally coming back on September 20th and this season Larry David has recruited some old friends to join in his crazy antics. According to The Star-Ledger:
All four "Seinfeld" castmembers -- Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards -- will play themselves in multiple episodes, and the season finale will feature extensive snippets of the show-within-the-show.
This is wonderful news for both "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" fans. Rarely has "Curb" failed to deliver and David has a knack for incorporating guest stars into the show very smoothly. Even though Alexander and Dreyfus have been on the show previously, it will be great to see the whole group back together. Since "Seinfeld" left the air more than 11 years ago most people clamored for a reunion, due mostly to the fairly unimpressive finale. Here's our chance to relive some of the glory years of the show, but now in a R-rate atmosphere which should undoubtedly add more laughs.
