Comedy Hbo's CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM: SEASON 8

[Golgo-13]

Coming in September, 2009.

Can't wait!

 

[Matt]

The previews look great. I'm glad that the Blacks are coming back.

 

[Golgo-13]

I hadn't heard about the Blacks. That IS great news.

 

[Matt]

Vivica A. Fox was confirmed to be returning a few months ago. I saw Auntie Rae in a preview during the repeat of Entourage on Monday. If Auntie Rae is coming back, I can only assume and hope that Leon is as well cause Leon is hillarious.

 

[WompuM]

I need to start getting HBO.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

The Blacks HAVE to come back, though.
Don't you remember series 6 finale?

Leon is one of the greatest television characters ever created.

Not really. We have no idea how much time could have past between seasons in the show-verse.

Leon is one of the greatest television characters ever created.

I love the scene where he and Larry switched phones, and Phelps(?) called Larry's phone thinking he was talking to Larry and Leon kept saying "Barack Obama" and "I hit, then i quit it" etc, etc....lol!

Isn't the actress that plays Cheryl on another show? I hope she doesn't come back, or at least has a minimal role this season. Some of the greatest Larry moments last season were when Larry was single; Lucy Lawless anyone? Anyway, Larry on the singles dating scene could really be great if that's the angle this season is gonna go.

 

[Matt]

She is confirmed. But so is Vivica. My guess is she will continue to play Larry's ex which is fine by me as it has led to very funny scenarios (the psychiatrist, for example, And the friends taking sides).

 

[Sawyer]

This show is the sole reason I would ever want HBO. DVD/online for me.

Seinfeld cast to reunite on Curb Your Enthusiasm

 

[Golgo-13]

Wow, all 4 members of the cast will be on Curb. I'm most interested in seeing Michael Richards myself. I hope they make fun of his racial stand up routine meltdown he's now infamous for!

Here's a more detailed article

It's been months since the news broke that the cast of Seinfeld was reuniting on Curb Your Enthusiasm. However, no plot details were released until executive producer and star Larry David sat down with reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour earlier Thursday.

Finally we know how Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards reunite for the first time in over 11 years. It's basically a show within a show, where the cast is actually doing a reunion episode in the Curb universe.

We'll let Larry explain...

"The context is that for years I've been asked about a Seinfeld reunion," he says. "I would always say, 'No. There's not going to be a reunion show. We would never do that. It's a lame idea.' And then I thought it might be very funny to do that on Curb. I kept thinking about it. I started to think of different scenarios and how we can pull this off. I called Jerry and Jerry was game. I said, 'Well, I'll call the others.' And I did and we did it. So we're doing a Seinfeld reunion show on Curb."

What exactly will we see during the creation of a faux reunion special? "We're going to see writing. We'll see aspects of the read-through, parts of rehearsals. You'll see the show being filmed and you'll see it on TV. You won't see the entire show. You'll see parts of the show. You'll get an an idea of what happened 11 years later. It will be incorporated into regular Curb episodes, so the castmembers will be playing themselves on Curb while all of this is going on."

Though it seems this could take up the entire season, he explains, "The reunion is scattered through the season and I think the cast will be on five shows. All four won't be on all five shows. Jerry is on five shows; the others will be on at least four. The season finale will be about the reunion show. It could very well be [a one-hour episode], but I haven't finished editing it yet. But that's a good possibility."

When asked why he finally caved, he says, "That will be answered in one of the episodes. That's a big thing because I would never do that. So there's a compelling reason as to why I decided to do it."

There's a lot of story to be told, but Larry says he found it quite easy to jump back to the Seinfeld state of mind. "It was surprisingly smooth," he says. "Coming up with the right ideas for what's happened in the 11 years, that took some thought. Three of the guys working on my show as executive producers were also producers on Seinfeld. I think we came up with some interesting stuff." Don't assume all is hunky-dory though, Larry says "it's possible" there will be a mention of Richards sordid past.

So will the character Larry ruin the reunion of the Seinfeld cast? He adds, with an evil laugh, "He might. My guy might consider wrecking something like that. We'll see what happens. My guy could very well wreck it. I'm not saying he did. I don't know."

Will the reunion be any good? "Yeah, you mean as opposed to the finale?" jokes Larry. "It's good. I think the reunion is pretty good."

Anyone here make avvys?

1:36-1:39 of them doing the big vagina sign to eachother, if its not too much trouble. I posted a request on the avatar request thread, but it takes forever for stuff to get done there.

Leon or Wanda interacting with Michael Richards is bound to be comedic gold.

This sounds absolutely amazing. I hope they incorporate Wayne Knight. A Seinfeld reunion wouldn't be complete without Newman. They have to have him on one episode.

 

[Sawyer]

[YT]WE7Ec-5nPjM[/YT]It's like Larry says what I think.

 

[Golgo-13]

I think that's the whole point of the show, Larry saids out loud what a lot of ppl are too afraid to say. That's what gets him in trouble.

And it's hilarious. This time I definitely agree with him, though. ***** should've gotten a damn sponge.

 

[Heisenberg]

Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of my favorite shows ever, I can't wait for it's return. Larry David just, I'm not sure how to describe it, but manages to make me laugh in any situation. Few comedians or performers do that for me. Looking forward to the new season.

Just started watching this show on OnDemand like 2 nites ago and am allready on like S2 ep6. OMG this show is hilarious. Am I wrong in my assumption that alot of it is improv? Thought I heard that somewhere and it really seems like it. I love all the Seinfeld stuff to only thing is sometimes the show seems very very Seinfeld-espue. I just love the absolutely stupid ass situations Larry gets himself into though. Though last nite while I was watching I was just thinking "Dude you needa get slapped! You know your wife is tryna get some ass! Why you ****ing it up?!?!" Kept wanting to smack him

 

[Maximus One]

Im really dissapointed to hear about Cheryl and Larry seperating or whatever. I like Cheryl shes so damn hot to me for some reason. That ep with the ******* in the car bet lol right at the end when he was about to get his winnings I was like "Damn I wish I was a middleaged bald Jew"

 

[Sawyer]

Leon is one of the greatest television characters ever created.

"Long balls... change your drawers."

They have like a few sentences describing what needs to be said/what needs to happen during the scene to move the plot forward, but aside from that it's all improv.
