Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Best Character In Each Season
Between Ted’s frustration, Susie’s screaming, and Richard’s ungratefulness, each season of Curb Your Enthusiasm has a character that stole the show.

Between the main cast, all the recurring characters, and the guest stars, there are many characters in Curb Your Enthusiasm, and almost all of them are terrible human beings. But that’s what makes them so fun to watch, and it just isn’t satisfying if they don’t end up squabbling with Larry at one point or another.
There are certain seasons where characters other than Larry clearly steal the show, and there are other seasons where recurring characters quietly become fan favorites. Between Ted Danson’s frustration, Susie’s screaming, and Richard’s ungratefulness, there are so many characters just as brilliantly vindictive as Larry.
10 Season 1 – Larry
From the very first scene in the first episode of the series, “The Pants Tent,” Larry was immediately relatable, as he spoke of the unflattering bunched-up material on the front of men’s trousers. And as season 1 is the only season in the series that doesn’t have an overarching narrative, each episode is just unfiltered Larry speaking his thoughts.
Not only that, but the season sees him in some of the most uncomfortable situations possible, whether it’s sitting in on an incest survivors meeting or being at a dinner party with people he despises. Though the character of Larry David is very much based on his real-life personality, the introduction to the fictionalized version is the Seinfeld creator at his best.
9 Season 2 – Jeff
Jeff is the Robin to Larry’s Batman, and the celebrity manager is always there to have Larry’s back. Whether it’s simply setting up meetings or smoothing over his squabbles with colleagues, Jeff is Larry’s best friend on Curb Your Enthusiasm. He’s called into action on so many occasions in season 2, such as when he needs to help Larry find a head for the Sammy’s Judy doll.
However, in season 2, Jeff got himself into just as much bother as Larry, and that’s part of why the season was so funny. The character comes off as hilariously needy when he and Susie break up. And he randomly shows up at the David household on Cheryl’s birthday, trying to get Larry to play golf with him.
8 Season 3 – Ted
Season 3 features one of the best season arcs of Curb and it’s so fun to watch because it’s the first time Larry is working on a project outside of the entertainment industry. Throughout the season, Larry and Jeff are building a restaurant with Ted Danson, and though he has guest-starred in the show in the past, season 3 sees him as a proper supporting character.
As Larry and Ted go way back in real life, that’s clear through their on-screen chemistry, but they’re at their best when they’re constantly at each other’s throats. At one point, they literally get into a fight over a dead man’s shirt, and it’s one of the best Ted Danson episodes on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
7 Season 4 – Susie
All of the characters’ best moments are usually when they’re in the thick of it with Larry, screaming at him for something he shouldn’t have done. But nobody screams at Larry more entertainingly than Susie.
Susie has become increasingly impatient with each consecutive season, but season 4 saw the perfect balance of her trying to remain calm before erupting into a volcanic fit of rage. Between getting angry at Larry during a children’s game of Telephone, and her dog getting poisoned after she argued with a chef over the meaning of “doggy bag,” season 4 sees Susie at her unruliest.
6 Season 5 – Richard
Of all the times Larry has gone out for dinner in the series, which tends to be multiple times per episode, Richard Lewis is the luckiest (or unluckiest), as he’s more often than not Larry’s date. It’s amazing that the two can even stand each other for that long, but like Ted Danson, Richard and Larry go way back and it shows on screen.
Richard Lewis is heavily involved in season 5, as he needs a kidney, and Larry is the reluctant donor. It’s one of the few times Larry has saved the day on Curb, but what makes Richard so funny in season 5 is that it shows how hilariously ungrateful he really is. And though there had been hints of this in previous seasons, the fifth season plays on it perfectly.
5 Season 6 – Marty
The supporting characters of Curb don’t feature in many episodes, as there are so many that there needs to be room for. However, Marty appeared in five episodes of season 6, which is a lot for any character who isn’t Jeff, Cheryl, or Larry. And even though the season is all about Larry sheltering The Blacks, a lot of the episodes revolve around Marty.
The whole season is full of classic Funkhouser episodes. In the very first episode, Funkhouser serves Larry a cake shaped like male genitalia without telling him. And in “The Ida Funkhouser Roadside Memorial,” he tries paying back Larry the $50 he owes him with a sweaty note he keeps in his sock. There’s also the genius moment when the character believes he’s an orphan at 50 years old when his mother dies.
4 Season 7 – Leon
Season 7 is considered by fans to be the best season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and that’s largely because it follows Larry as he works on the Seinfeld reunion. And because of that, it’s easy to forget some of the funniest moments in the season outside of the sitcom production.
Leon is one of the newer characters in the series, but he not only found his footing in season 7 but quickly became many fans’ favorite character. One of the best moments of the season comes as early as the first episode. When all the Blacks decide to leave the David household because of Larry’s behavior, Leon simply looks on and refuses to move out, and Larry just accepts it.
3 Season 8 – Michael J. Fox
With every season of Curb up to this point following a similar formula of Larry going out to dinner and wandering around L.A., it was time to change things up. Season 8 saw the character going out to dinner and wandering around … New York. Though it wasn’t a drastic change, it did give the series a refreshing new tone, and it also meant that Larry had a new neighbor: Michael J. Fox.
The Back to the Future actor only appears in one episode of the season, but it’s the best episode of the season thanks to him. Michael J. Fox is great because he can make fun of himself as well as berate Larry. The title of the episode just goes to show how much they hate each other, as it’s simply titled “Larry vs. Michael J. Fox.”
2 Season 9 – Lin Manuel Miranda
Larry has rarely ever seen eye to eye with the people he has worked with, whether it’s with Ted on the restaurant, David Schwimmer on The Producers, or Jason Alexander on the reunion. However, his feelings for Lin Manuel Miranda are on another level. There aren’t really any villains on Curb, as every character is selfish and vindictive, but Miranda is as close to a villain as it gets.
Though the Fatwa! musical is one of the many Larry projects fans wish were real, the whole reason it didn’t work out on the show was because of Miranda’s demands and overbearing attitude. The way he intervenes and turns his nose up at Larry’s every decision is what drove the entire season.
1 Season 10 – Cheryl
Though Cheryl was married to Larry for the first six seasons, the character became much more interesting when she left him. In season 10, she found herself in a love triangle with Ted and Larry, fighting with her sister over property, and very briefly dating Jon Hamm.
It took 10 seasons, but Cheryl finally broke through the typical sitcom wife cliche and became an exciting character to watch.
