I have always been intrigued with Larry David since my initial viewing of Curb Your Enthusiasm over 4 years ago. To me Curb Your Enthusiasm lends the opportunity to investigate the idiosyncrasies of the real life George Costanza, one of the most infamous television characters ever. curbthumbnail.jpg Although a television show centered around one of the most neurotic and enigmatic minds of our time can be somewhat painful to watch, Curb is an entertaining and pessimistic perspective of all the trivial social, cultural, and physocological perplexities that complicate everyday life. Bottom line, there is a small Larry David in all of us and Curb thrives as we enjoy watching a forever agitated, empowered, and enraged version of ourselves battle the mundane drawbacks of everyday life combined with Larry's unique social life as a prominent Hollywood figure. I found it interesting that Larry David's wife in the show seemingly was a very accurate portrayal his now X wife Laurie David who filed for divorce in June. For those of you who don't know , Laurie David was the former Booking Manager for the David Letterman show and is a very prominent fund raiser for the NRDC. The most interesting item about the former couple is that they have two daughters that have never been mirrored in Curb. I would have loved to see Larry David the father in Curb but am thrilled that Curb has included his real life divorce into this year's storyline. Filming wrapped this past April according to published reports yet the divorce filing occurred in late June. Its my contention that Larry David must have seen the divorce likely on the horizon and chose to incorporate it into a half finished season of Curb that really wasn't going anywhere fast in a season full of misses sprinkled in with a few hits. Video of final straw [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y4jT_R70hdY] This article gives a great breakdown of how Larry David in just under 25 minutes forever altered the direction of Curb and even showcased several entertaining scenes of post divorce life for Larry (dating, friend alienating, jealous situations). Since I heard of the David divorce, I was curious to see if this storyline would peak into next year's Curb or even affect Larry's willingness base an entire show on his real life. Sunday's episode answered both questions and am just dying to see how the now single Larry David will survive his now found status as a rich, bald, old, freshly divorced bachelor. Should be awesome. 22_curbyour_lg.jpg
