‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Returns to Form on Sunday

It took a few episodes, but Larry David hits his stride with his latest

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" episodes always contain moments that would surely lead to substantial uproar if stripped entirely of context.

The "did they really just go there?" element that Larry David's HBO sitcom thrives on may reach its pinnacle with Sunday's episode, "The Palestinian Chicken." It should remind everyone disappointed by the eighth season's initial two middling installments why "Curb" can still go toe to toe with the funniest shows on television. 

Take, for instance, the following exchange, and imagine it being said by, say, two guests on "Nightline," or by coworkers at your office:

"I like you," says an Arab woman, flirting with a balding older man with a New York accent.
