No Lessons Learned

Ohhh I'm going to miss this show! It's been too many years. I've been through the end of Seinfeld. I have digested it. It became the humor repertoire of several generations. But this end is something more. A conductive thread through 40 years. This chapter is very exciting. It has touches of humor like any other, but there is something more. It's all very nostalgic. It's a link through the last 35 years. I understand that Larry could have resorted to many more sensational elements. But this show was always something simple. A unique, naked, direct humor. I consider Curb among the best shows in history.

A parody of Seinfeld but this time he hits the mark. So many familiar faces, everyone caused a laugh. Brilliant. One of the best episodes ever, best of season twelve by far. It's with a heavy heart we say goodby but with a huge smile I can rewatch them over again. This episode just proves that curb your enthusiasm is up there with the best programmes never mind sitcoms of all time. Seeing the likes of Mocca Joe and Jerry Seinfeld just enhanced the fun. But Aunty Rae steals the show as always. I hope this is the final season and they don't come back for the unlucky thirteen.

Larry David. You are a legend.

Larry, Leon, Jeff and Susie fly to Atlanta for Larry's much-publicised trial. Old friends join them in what becomes a quite the event. The prosecutor is a wily foe and soon things are going quite badly for Larry. Many old enemies resurface.

A finale that, like most finales, is quite nostalgic and captures many of the great moments in the history of the series. It very quickly starts feeling very Seinfeldesque in its plot and approach, which initially made me a bit disappointed, figuring it was unoriginal.

I then realised that this is the point: Larry David is taking everything full circle, linking Curb Your Enthusiasm's roots to the end of Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld even appears and has a decent amount of screentime, just to ram the point home!

All in all, it's quite funny (though, like Season 12 in general, not quite up to the same standards as recent seasons), nostalgic and ties things up quite neatly.

Perfect ending to the series. Great callbacks to series highlights that fans will remember. The starting scene on the plane was one of the funniest i can remember. Really stuck the landing which was obviously important considering the collective opinion on the Seinfeld finale. Great use of meta, by tying in and making reference to that finale throughout the whole episode - brilliant. Have loved the series, some seasons more than others, but so appreciative that this whole season was great, and that I'm left with warmth towards Larry and the nostalgia of the last 20 plus years of watching Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I'm not sure that this episode could have been any better. I actually have never been sad to see a TV show end, but I'm really sad this one ended - but my goodness did it end on such a high. Absolutely brilliant on so many levels. Homage to the fans, homage to the characters and homage to the persona that Larry David created. Sheer and utter storytelling genius! This has definately been my favourite series - I think one or two episodes were a wobble but when it all came together it is purely a work of art. Well done to the writers, cast and crew - you did an absolutely fantastic job! Thank you for making this.
