SPOILERS throughout! This season of Curb has at times been the best since the first two seasons - it's like Larry David and co have rediscovered a fresh enjoyment in the show, given the shake-ups caused by its having to replicate the real-life break-up of LD's marriage. God knows how that feels in real life, but TV Larry deals with it brilliantly. His dating exploits are wonderful, but he's not a dating kind of guy, and the end of this episode and this series, where Larry is happily ensconced in the bosom of his new black family (and married to Vivica Fox - lucky, lucky Larry) had us rolling around in breathless happy guffaws. It seems that at least part of the awkwardness LD's felt all along has been because of uptight Goyish spouse Cheryl, and he now feels free from the need to even pretend to be PC. It's a fantastic ending, but it worries me - it feels like the perfect full stop at the end of this superb show, and I don't want them to pull the plug yet!
