I have finally seen an episode of Curb that made me feel happy for Larry David. The season six finale throws us a welcomed curve ball, by offering a bit of divine forgiveness to a man who's intentions are always pure, but who's family and friends continually mock and criticize his natural curiosity and independent spirit.
Watching the last few episodes of his television marriage falling apart, especially when considering that his real life marriage is sadly doing the same thing, made me feel especially bad for Larry. His wife on the show, who never really seemed right for him if you ask me, has met a new man within weeks of their breakup, and all of their friends have decided to "side" with her. Larry's medical problems are once again at the forefront of the show, as he is accused of putting a gerbil up his ass, and everyone in the world seems to hate him and find him utterly repugnant, yet again. But this time, Larry finds a bit of light at the end of the tunnel, and in the truest spirit of "life going on," finds a new love.
I loved this episode. It was very funny with the brilliant Michael McKean guest starring as an overrated sitcom director who spreads a ridiculous rumor about Larry to everyone in LA. But the true triumph for me was getting to see Loretta Black (Vivica A. Fox) yell down the nearly insurmountable rage of Susie Green (Susie Essman), defending her man and giving us one of the finest season finales to any show that I have ever been a fan of.
Bravo.
