It Looks Like We're Finally Getting A Season 9 Of Curb Your Enthusiasm

(Source) – It looks like a new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm might finally be on the way, with Larry David teasing HBO with a notebook full of ideas for it. HBO president Michael Lombardo recalled how David discussed the show with him at the premiere of his new Broadway play Fish in the Dark a few months back. “[He told me,] ‘Do you know what this is? This is the next season notebook’,” he said at the TCA press tour. It seems after spending time on Broadway David might be ready to return to TV, and there are certainly plenty of foibles in 2015 culture for him to send-up. “I don’t think it’s out of his system,” Lombardo added. “When he has something to say, he will come back. “I certainly see this as a continuing dialogue with him – a long one, but a continuing one.” David has he isn’t done with Curb before. Last year Lombardo asked him if he should “emotionally get Curb out of [his] head,” to which the Seinfeld creator replied: “No, no, no, no, no.”

Best news I’ve heard all day. I actually mentioned earlier that I’ve been watching a lot of Curb recently and now I hear this. Since there’s nothing on TV in the summer, I just get home and do like a ful season of Curb every night. I’ve been working my way backwards, because fuck you I do what I want, and last week I was doing season 8 and had forgotten just how funny the Palestinian Chicken episode was. Honestly, pound for pound maybe the best 30 minutes of television out there. “The Gang Re-Ignites the Rivalry” episode of Always Sunny has a real shot too, but Palestinian Chicken is just unreal. From the Social Assassin to the verbal texting to the Jew getting fucked out of Larry it’s all absolute gold.

I know a lot of people love Louie and swear it’s one of the best comedies on TV right now, but I could never get into it. For my money, nothing beats Curb when it’s good. I love Louis CK stand-up but the show was always a little too depressing for me. Larry David’s “I hate everyone” humor plays a lot better than Louis CK’s “everyone sucks and it makes me depressed” for a TV show. So I couldn’t be more excited for this. Sounds like it probably won’t happen for another year or so but just the fact that LD has a whole notebook of ideas is enough to string me along for a while.
