“Curb Your Enthusiasm” — The Lefty Call
“We shall see?”
A loud flush. Really? That’s what caused him to experience severe hearing loss? I could be wrong, but was this the single worst episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm ever? It just might be. Like the best Seinfeld episodes, Curb works because it’s based on relatable situations. This week, there was nothing relatable. A lefty call? When has anyone ever thought about that in the history local calls?
The episode’s best moment came during the lunch sequence at the restaurant where the waiter, for reasons that are completely incomprehensible (even for waiters on Curb Your Enthusiasm), refused to give Suzy a doggie-bag and ultimate said “We shall see” when Larry told him he would take the food home. This immediately triggered Larry to give his classic, eyebrow-lift of shock and confusion. It was a small moment, but a funny one nonetheless. Enough to save an otherwise complete disaster of forced connections and non-issues? Not really.
