Leon ( JB Smoove) is quick to mention that doing two feeble things in a row could get Larry’s ass sent to the nursing home. Moments later, Larry walks right into a glass door, to the shock of Larry’s date, Lucy Liu (playing herself). The episode begins with Larry discovering that someone has broken into his house, tried to flee the scene, fell, and hit their head, and now Larry has a dead body floating in his pool, almost like a cringe comedy take on Sunset Blvd.īut this theme of growing older continues through the episode, especially during a dinner party, when Susie ( Susie Essman) plops down on the couch next to Larry, causing him to spill wine all over a couch. Yet even though Curb isn’t showing its age, the first episode of Season 11, “The Five-Foot Fence,” certainly seems concerned with death and aging.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Jeff Schaffer said when people ask him how they still come up with ideas, he says, “Well, until society reaches a place where you can walk outside and not be annoyed by your fellow man, I think we're good.” After 21 years, Curb Your Enthusiasm continues to make this simple idea an effective building block for a great series, and Curb shows no signs of slowing down with “The Five-Foot Fence,” not only proving that this is still a concept ripe for a series, but that Curb is still one of the best comedies on television, two decades running. Curb Your Enthusiasm has done this by keeping certain elements consistent throughout - notably David’s complete disregard for social norms - and yet remained completely unexpected.

Over the course of 100 episodes and ten seasons, Larry David’s series has been one of the most beloved comedies in HBO’s lineup, and has somehow remained consistently great. Earlier this month, Curb Your Enthusiasm celebrated 21 years on the air, making it the longest-running scripted HBO series.
