LOS ANGELES — After too many years away from “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Larry David pronounces himself satisfied with the new season, which he said is just like previous ones, and glad he did it. That’s pretty good — no, very good — on several fronts.
First, it means the blunt-trauma insults that David delivered for eight seasons on the HBO comedy are undiminished, as is the show’s willingness to milk any subject for laughs, from sex to ethnicity to illness. Second, he’s inclined to keep the revival going, and without such a lag.
“I would say leaning toward it,” David said. “If there are more, it’s not going to be five years. … It’s too long. I wouldn’t want people to wait that long.”
And third — but who needs another reason? We’re just happy that “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” a platform for David’s grievances for crimes against humanity (read: Larry David) is back at 10 p.m. Sunday for the first time since 2011, and unaffected by time.
