I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That about says it all, their scenes were before the opening theme. Thought it was a bit of a weak finale.

Yeah, the payoff of the season-long stories seemed to just kinda conclude without much effect

oh yeah you're right, they did say in the Hollywood Reporter (or maybe Variety?) that this would be addressed. There was like a casual mention of him being in China maybe? But I don't think anything beyond that.

But in hindsight, it makes sense that Curb Your Enthusiasm might appeal to the preschool demographic, even if I could definitely do a better job with some of my prescreening. The music is chipper and vivid. Larry David, with his glasses and his curly-white-haired semi-baldness, strikes a visually compelling figure; his face is as expressive as any dedicated children’s performer. When he’s happy, he is nodding and cackling and pointing; when he’s skeptical, his eyes narrow to comical slits as evocative Wild West music plays. Sometimes he is being chased, with that high-kneed gait of his, and always, reliably, he is being yelled at. The level of repetition of the word “Larry” over and over would make a Sesame Street producer proud.
