This Season Features Best Episodes of 'Curb' Ever

For "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" fans, this season of "Curb" has been maddening if for no other reason than that the reunion of the "Seinfeld" cast has come in such fleeting bursts.
My roommate
Elliott said it best, "I think I could just sit in a corner and watch Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld talk for eight hours."
Whether it's about scooting over in a restaurant booth to accommodate a new person or casting the part of George's wife in a "Seinfeld" reunion show, Seinfeld and David are pretty much comedic heroin. I literally cannot get enough, and when I have just a taste, I find myself willing to beat and stab others to get more.
An episode earlier in the season that found the two discussing which one of them should tell the assistant to cover up her midriff had me gasping for air, and it was then that I realized the heroin would never be enough.
To say any given episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is the "best ever" is a silly game to play with a show that's gone through seven uncomfortable, hysterical seasons of social transgressions and Larry David's over-the-top reactions to slights, both perceived and real.
Still, this past week's episode featuring the cast of "Seinfeld" going through a read-through and rehearsal for the fictitious "Seinfeld" reunion show was some kind of feat. It simultaneously lampooned Michael Richards' famous racist diatribe, led to a misunderstanding in which a doctor called the police on Larry David for being a pedophile and saw the return of Wayne Knight as Newman and the fan favorite line from Seinfeld himself: "Hello. Newman."
Somebody, somewhere, please--whether an HBO executive, movie producer, God or the federal government--force Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David to make another show together that must air for the remainder of their lifetimes.
