I just finished watching "Disgruntled" and this episode was packed with so many problems and issues we see in day to day that will surely reverberate in later episodes that was started with a list of complaints in a letter, to which it snowballs into other issues like confidentiality and such, then unexpectedly at the end, we get "Spartacus". The cast were all on point and seeing Willie Geist giving Larry "that look" (that we have not seen in quite a while). I laughed so hard throughout the whole episode, it was priceless. Kudos to the writers for this episode, what a gem!! Larry David was pure gold in this one.

As soon as they started introducing the mystery bit about who Disgruntled was you could tell they were going to do an "I'm Spartacus" moment.
This episode was pretty poor, but that's been the theme of the season here. They do not do the kind of clever social commentaries and fighting they used to do on Curb, it is more about Larry David being cartoonish and just yelling and fighting.
Willie Geist's character was way too over the top here. It is good that famous people get excited about playing themselves on Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I prefer more subtle and realistic takes like Ted Danson has done than this.

Great episode! All the classic Curb elements were there. The first two I will mention hadn't made an appearance for a while
And in general, this was a pretty.. pretty funny episode, with Larry making a fuss about minor issues, as usual.
The only thing I will add is that I need to reach the Minimum character limit!
- Willie takes Larry's usual role of staring, when trying to figure out if a person tells the truth. Larry says the final 'OK' though!
- 'Pretty... pretty... cute!'
- Takahashi and Larry's chemistry is gold
- Classic Leon, has maybe the best line that his character ever delivered: 'You ain't no piss doctor. You a ass doctor'!

A three only because of Takahashi

1. Low ball Larry done in season 6 with no fly zone underwear
2. The golf basically the first Funkhouser appearance with the golf tip
3. Hitting Oscar wondering bear- not checking on the dog
4 Hitting the deaf guy not waiting basically Norm in season 4 combined with vow of Silence
5. Disgruntled list break rules for Larry hasn't been funny since using Hughe's indoor toilet in Crazy Nanny.
6. He's killed the great Black Swan episode utilizing Takahashi.
Again recycled check on the dog don't check on the dog, The blabbermouth incompetent therapist, the unprofessional therapist mixing social with personal, It's literally repetitive garbage.

A shell of its former self...

Curb has always been a hit and miss program, with more hits than misses.
Sadly, to mangle Gertrude Stein's quote, there no longer is any there there. Meandering storylines that inherently are just not funny. Without building to a payoff.
Too much time on the golf course, too many unlikeable characters, too many callbacks to Seinfeld or earlier Curbs, too much of time just being filled (as I watched last night on my iPad, kept checking how much longer is this slog going to last?)
Yes, it still gets a chuckle or two - and I'll watch the remaining episodes, if only to see if it can regain any of its charm. "Pretty pretty"s and stare downs were never funny and now, as was Newman's Millennium party in the wrong year, are "quite lame".
Seinfeld - the greatest comedy of all-time - went downhill in the last two Larry-less seasons but never to these depths. Thanks for the memories, Larr - but it's past time to let go.
