Last episode aired in 2011! It's coming back on HBO later this year.
TV Guide reached out to HBO to confirm the air date, but they were met with a no comment. Early October makes sense, though. The new seasons of Game of Thrones, Insecure, and Ballers will have come and gone by then, and the network needs something on Sunday nights to pair with The Deuce, which debuts on September 10. HBO can call it the Deuce and Douche block.
Little is known about the new season of Curb, although Smoove also said everybodys back, man, while co-star Jeff Garlin teased, Its coming back with all the things about it that people love The storyline is rather insane.

It's a humor you either click into, or not. I love all 3 myself, even though I find myself hiding under the cushions for some of the cringing situations in CYE.

(7,911 posts)When I watch a show, whether comedy, action, or drama, I want to watch characters I can care about and identify with. It's hard to care about a show when every character on it is phony and superficial.
Every show has to have a few characters you hate, but that has to be balanced with some characters you really love. Even a few scoundrels that you love to hate add variety to the mix. Sure, I hated Joffrey and Tywin in Game of Thrones. Everyone did. But there were other characters, sympathetic characters I could genuinely care about, and worry over. Same in Deadwood, or The Wire. A nice mix of villains and good guys. And often characters that were a mixture of both. Was Mance Rayder a villain or a good guy? Some of each.
Or take NCIS. The main characters are sympathetic and relatable, while the hateful characters come and go as each week's featured villains.
Or take Gilmore Girls. Almost every character was loveable and sympathetic, (even grandma) and the "villain" was the situations they faced, or some passing bad guy du-jour.
But in Seinfeld, not one single character was genuine and relatable. Not one single "warm and fuzzy" character that you would like to have as a real-life friend. I was utterly indifferent to every character in Seinfeld, so why bother watching people you don't care about. And Everybody Loves Raymond was just a pretext for having people yell at each other. "What!?! You bought the wrong kind of Kleenex? You're worthless!." "No, you are!" "Oh yeah, well so's your old man!" Nothing but shouting, anger, bitterness, and canned laughter each time somebody shouted something mean or insulting.
