TV Weekend: Kickin' It with Curb

It's a big HBO weekend: besides Tell Me You Love Me and James Gandolfini's understatedly moving Iraq documentary Alive Day Memories, Curb Your Enthusiasm returns for its sixth season. What I've seen so far looks far better than the underwhelming fifth season--if it keeps this up, I may regret sacrificing Curb, on my top-100 TV shows list, to Seinfeld under the Two Shows One Slot rule.
Larry David doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd carry a grudge about that kind of thing, right?
