No one except the “Curb” gang knows how it will all end tonight after 22 years and 12 seasons.
“Curb” airs tonight on HBO at 10pm. It runs an hour long, and is titled “No Lessons Learned.”
Larry David stands trial in Atlanta for violating the law and handing a bottle of water to a voter on line. He’s seen as a crusader, although as we know he could care less about everyone involved.
Will he go to jail? A mock trial jury convicted him in Los Angeles. So what will happen with a real jury?
HBO’s summary just says: “Larry returns to Atlanta, where he gets involved in Richard’s love life and reveals a secret about Cheryl.”
(Could the secret about Cheryl be that she’s lost her mind as the wife of Robert Kennedy Jr.?)
Much has been made this season of the terrible “Seinfeld” ending that the real Larry wrote after an absence from that show. Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George all went to prison for being ridiculously shallow people. The ending is one of the worst in TV history.
If Larry goes to jail, it’s not like he’ll find the gang waiting for them. In real life they had a reunion on “Curb” several years ago. But maybe they would visit him in jail. Also, because this episode is 60 minutes, maybe Larry is convicted, but an appeal overturns it.
In that case, there would be plenty of time to see past characters, or have Larry’s atrocious behavior upbraided in Los Angeles.
“Curb” has dozens of classic episodes in its catalog, ones that will live on forever. This season doesn’t include any, but it doesn’t matter. We’ll be living on Palestinian chicken and the Spite Store for years to come on streaming services.
Come back at 11 pm for the wrap up!
