Curb Your Enthusiasm: 10 Storylines The Show Dropped
Contents
Curb Your Enthusiasm often wraps up its storylines, but every once in a while they tend to just drop things altogether.

Good luck finding too many storylines or introduced plot points on Curb Your Enthusiasm that don’t eventually return and have a sizable impact on the season-by-season trajectories of the Larry David-led HBO comedy. David is the master of tying all stories together, as Seinfeld and Curb are both shimmering examples of never forgetting a story beat.
That being said, there are a few dangling elements of the overarching Curb stories that may have been wrapped up on an episode-by-episode basis. However, they were completely dropped as the show continued on. Storylines that would have had an impact on real-life for months and, perhaps, years are abandoned readily in favor of the next misadventure from Larry David.
10 Hard Pants
Most of the time, the shocking jokes on Curb Your Enthusiasm are left as the buttons on scenes or high points to end the episode on, like George Costanza leaving a meeting after telling a quality joke. In the case of “The Doll,” though, one joke shouldn’t have been the end of the story.
After Larry enters the women’s restroom, he inserts a water bottle into his pants to sneak it into the theater. But when he’s hugged by the daughter of a television executive and she shouts, “There’s something hard in his pants!” His entire interaction with this family is left behind, but considering the uproar and lack of explanations Larry is accustomed to, this is a misunderstanding that probably should have had a ripple effect on Larry’s life.
9 Larry’s Therapy
In season nine of Curb, Larry halfheartedly attempts therapy with a doctor portrayed by Bryan Cranston. Clearly, therapy is something Larry has needed for some time and this episode seemed to be pushing him in a direction that the “no learning” philosophy never did.
Obviously, Larry makes a huge mess of things with his therapist, practically putting his life in danger. While it’s understandable that Larry might want to wash his hands of therapy after this, the impulse to do so was abandoned in favor of more misadventures – without psychological unpacking.
8 Black Swan Golf Club
The golf clubs to which Larry belongs seem to be quite forgiving. There is no social faux pas so detestable that they would not welcome him and his golfing buddies back into the mix.
Not even when Larry and his friends murder the famed black swan of Mr. Takahashi, the owner of the club. Considering Larry winds up branded as a murderer at the end of the episode, it’s strange that accountability for this act is shrugged off once season seven wraps.
7 The Producers
Another curious thread dropped after a season concludes comes in the fourth arc of the show when Larry gets roped into a revival of The Producers on Broadway. Against all reason, Larry winds up being a smash hit in the lead role, much to the dismay of Mel Brooks.
Yet, despite the acclaim, any pretense of continuing to be Max Bialystock is abandoned once Larry is met with adoration. Is he just not meant to hold onto praise for very long? Does something happen off-screen that scares him off the stage until a Fatwa musical? The viewers don’t know because the storyline was outright dropped.
6 Jason Alexander And Cheryl
Another season-long arc comes when Larry orchestrates a reunion of the Seinfeld cast to attempt to win back the love of Cheryl. Obviously, he gets in his own way regarding this, leading to Cheryl storming out on him in a huff.
However, in the middle of this storyline, a sub-plot develops between Cheryl and Jason Alexander, as they began a brief, flirtatious dalliance with one another. The arc required Cheryl to reconcile momentarily with Larry, but the lack of exploration into Cheryl and Jason is curious, especially considering they brought Ted Danson back to occupy a similar capacity on the series.
5 Larry In New York
Before Curb embarked on its longest hiatus to date (between seasons eight and nine), Larry was exiled from New York like Napoleon to Elba. While subsequent seasons of the show have centered Larry in Los Angeles, it’s never been fully addressed what his relationship is with Manhattan.
Is Larry still banned? The Jets are mentioned. New York staffers are poached for business endeavors. The theatrical stage is toyed with. But the storyline that revolves around Larry’s removal from New York is never really embraced again.
4 Gotta Go
Jumping ahead to Curb’s most recent arc (season ten), Larry and Leon devise a Lyft-esque business named Gotta Go, in which they fill in for workers who don’t receive bathroom breaks when they need them. For a little while, it seems to be taking off better than Latte Larry’s.
Yet, as soon as Leon grows bored of the entrepreneurship, the story is abandoned. Granted, if Leon doesn’t want to do something, he won’t do it. But there was so much potential and instant success with this app that it was surprising to see it dropped after one episode when similar endeavors have stretched for entire seasons.
3 Jon Hamm’s Movie
In the same episode, Jon Hamm turns up to play a version of himself who is cast in a Larry David-esque role in an upcoming film. Hamm, of course, makes an excellent fit into the series and is hilarious throughout. But his devolution into a Larry clone is forgotten for the remainder of the season.
It’s yet another potential season-long storyline that is dropped after one installment. What is the outcome of Jon Hamm’s movie, after all? So many films exist as parables for real-life figures that it is strange to not see Larry’s reaction to the finished product.
2 Susie’s Myriad Feelings Of Hate
Whether it’s ruining her painting or nearly murdering her, episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm frequently end with Susie hating Larry’s guts and wishing the most terrible, profane things upon him. Throughout the series, every single one of these storylines has been entirely abandoned.
Each episode almost seems to reset Susie and Larry to feelings of affection, if not outright love, for one another. There is practically no continuity to her character, but Susie Essman’s performance is so hysterical that it practically becomes endearing.
1 Fatwa
The Producers was not the only musical abandoned by Larry. The Fatwa! endeavor also becomes a wash when Lin-Manuel Miranda winds up sidelined due to a Larry-inflicted injury. Furthermore, the real fatwa put out on Larry is also dropped completely from the show.
When season nine wraps, Larry is seen still living under the fear of fatwa, as some want to take the attack into their own hands. Yet, Larry returns in season ten without having to look over his shoulder. It’s a strange storyline to begin with, but even stranger to never address it again. Hopefully, the upcoming season’s COVID storyline will be the one arc everyone will celebrate when it does not return.
