    Larry David. Curb your Enthusiasm: Love Letter

    This man is a comedic powerhouse. You cannot help but feel bad for Larry throughout this glorious 24 year run. But this episode sums it up like none other. Larry is a highly mistaken character who gets publicly shamed and criticized because of his veraciousness. This episode indubitably demonstrates Larry David's writing prowess to a T; Larry has a keen eye for situational comedy and he displays it wonderfully with "The N - Word". Some may take offense to this episode, and others see that this is Real, Unfiltered, Masterful, Observational, Satirical, Delightful comedy. Fresh off the season finale of the grossing success of 'Seinfeld' , who knew that Larry David goes off and creates one of the longest running sitcoms of all time.. Actually we all did, long live Larry David.
