'Curb Your Enthusiasm': Go behind the scenes of season 8, which includes guest stars Michael J. Fox and Ricky Gervais

If you’re a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan, chances are you’re pret-tay pret-tay curious about how Larry David & Co. plan to top last season’s Seinfeld “anti-reunion reunion.” A new two-and-a-half minute behind-the-scenes peak at season 8 — half of which was shot in New York — doesn’t exactly open the answer vault, but it does tease some promising/awkward possibilities for the HBO comedy: Larry tells off a bunch of girl scouts! Larry plays softball and talks trash with Rosie O’Donnell! Larry bumps into Michael J. Fox (literally) and unleashes a Parkinson’s joke! Ricky Gervais, Michael McKean, Ana Gasteyer, and Bill Buckner swing by! (Oh, best to brace yourselves, Sox fans.) Season 8 of Curb kicks off July 10, and my delighting in the idea of Susie and Leon invading Manhattan begins now.

      To be honest, Season 6 with the Blacks was WAY WAY funnier than Season 7.

      I’ve never watched Seinfeld, so this is based purely in terms of original comedy so to speak, as to oppose to feelings for the reunion etc.

        Alex, I totally agree with you about Season 6 with the Blacks, but how have you never seen Seinfeld?!?
