CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM
March 22, 2020  | By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: Last week, when Larry David was preparing to open his “spite store,” Latte Larry’s, Ted Danson popped in for a sneak preview – and was impressed not only by the coffee shop’s tables that didn’t wobble, but also by the fact that every table was equipped with a bottle of hand sanitizer. Both these features made it into Larry’s show-within-the-show “commercials” for Latte Larry’s. And these shows were filmed before the coronavirus spread. Give Larry David credit for prescience – and please, give him another season as soon as possible, so he can tackle social distancing, binge viewing, enforced isolation, and other topics for laughs. We need laughs. Today, we need comedies the way the Depression needed musicals. I’m talking, of course, about the last Depression, not the one we’re just spiraling into now.
