Screenshots

If you want to add any of the images back they must contain a Fair Use rationale. This must detail how the image adds significantly to the article (not just it identifies the episode, lots of things, including the title, identify the episode). Remember, Fair Use is for critical commentary, and should be used as sparingly as possible. I imagine for a lot of these images it won't be possible to justify them. ed g2s • talk 00:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to write fair use rationales for each and will make sure they are "justified" or we just won't use them. But I suppose my hard work won't be valued since they'll just end up getting deleted by you all over again. Sfufan2005 02:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't about recognising "hard work". If someone spent hours and hours sourcing screenshots and uploaded them without rationale they would still be deleted. If you really want to spend your time writing rationales, it might be better spent writing them for the episode articles, where there may be enough critical commentary to properly justify using an image. When you have tiny plot summaries, the only purpose the image serves is to jog people's memory and make the page look pretty, neither of which are covered by our policy. ed g2s • talk 14:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The End

About the last episode in season 5: "Larry is changed by a trip to Arizona, to Richard Lewis’ profound relief. Larry also finds out the truth of whether or not he is adopted. Larry dies.". On my DVD set, he actually lives. Maybe this was changed when they decided to do another season? Kms 21:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He always lived. The joke was that he wasn't even content with Heaven, so they sent him back. That ending was always on the aired episode. 204.115.253.51 17:59, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

End of season 6

Why does the episode guide declare that Larry and Lorreta having a romantic relationship is merely fantasy? This falsely implies conclusion on what is still a highly contested question. It's just as reasonable to assume the final montage was a flash forward to actual occurences in the CYE story.

I thought it was meant to be what actually happened, so I was surprised to see that. The show doesn't usually employ imagination or dream-sequences, the closest it gets is flashbacks (which are nonetheless real events) and that one instance where Larry goes to Heaven, which although not 'realistic' as such, I took to be 'real' in the show. I don't know how the Loretta thing would work with future seasons though. Perhaps it would be best to change the description to something objective, 'we see a montage of Larry and Loretta's married life' or something like that, something that describes what we see without applying an interpretation to it.194.80.66.173 17:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think absent any further comment from people wishing to retain the overly definitive text as it currently is, I will make the change as you proposed. You make a very salient point that dream sequences are rarely used in the series; in that Larry's sojourn in heaven was clearly meant to have occurred within the CYE's narrative realm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.240.92 (talk) 20:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what if we just don't spoil it at all and just say "Larry moves on to find an unexpected romance for himself?" or something. like when we don't say whether he is adopted or not and we just say he finds out. some people get pretty religious about that kinda thing.76.27.215.219 (talk) 09:47, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary

Are the pages this page links to - the pages about individual episodes - really necessary? Most pages on wikipedia aren't there for any purpose other than to just give someone an opportunity to say, "Yay! I made a wikipedia page!"

Seriously, what use could these pages possibly be of? If people want to know the plots then they can just watch the episodes. Even then, I can't really imagine why someone would need to have a written version of the plots. It's totally stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.204.220 (talk) 07:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

calm down. it's for information. it's for people that want to know what basic things happened in each episode. some people don't watch the shows and just read about them. there is a vast range of mentalities of people in the world. we don't need to split hairs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.27.215.219 (talk) 09:45, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Music

what is the name of the sound tracks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.57.178 (talk) 02:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Double-length episodes

I think some episodes were double-length. Iirc episode 40, perhaps others? Could somebody who knows more about this than me add this info to the episode descriptions? 195.35.160.133 (talk) 09:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC) Martin.[reply]

Resolved - many thanks. 195.35.160.133 (talk) Martin.

Season 7 special

This page needs a mention of the Season 7 Special. I'm not sure when it aired but it seemed like a behind the scenes look at the upcoming season. Faethon Ghost (talk) 17:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

just seeing this now (13 years later!), but yeah, futoncritic, etc., list 2 specials in the entire run -- the original pilot plus this s07 "preview":

1-0 (17oct99) Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm (60 min)

7-0 (08sep09) It's Not a Reunion Show but It's the Closest You'll Get

i agree, it should be added! 2601:19C:527F:A680:8C5:D81B:A811:84EC (talk) 07:19, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilers

I can understand if some find it a necessity to include a description of each season directly preceding the list of episodes but is it necessary to include spoilers in that description? For example, the description of Season 4 reads, 'In a parallel of the plot of the play it turns out that Mel Brooks cast Larry because he is tired of The Producers and wants the show to fail. However, Larry turns in a bravura performance ensuring the show's continued success.' Luckily I had not read that before seeing the season final but I imagine I would have been unhappy - like I am now, having read the description to season 5 without yet finishing the first episode. I shan't edit anything myself, I shall leave it up to you to decide. --121.222.23.47 (talk) 19:30, 24 November 2009 (UTC) tweek[reply]

First season - homeless guy

In the Bracelet a homeless guy walks up to Larry and says hello and thanks for the Duck a l'orange. At the time I was confused but figured it was an "untold" story. But then a few episodes later in the AAMCO episode, Larry gives some duck a l'Orange to this same homeless guy, seemingly for the first time... Is there some kind of mix up in the order of the episodes listed here, or did the writers mess up or what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.61.97 (talk) 01:17, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Susan Braudy

interesting coincidence, that a character has this name, which is also the name of an author who has written about hollywood and the left intelligentsia with some humor and insight. she could either be a friend of larry's, or an enemy, or both, knowing him (which i fortunately or unfortunately dont).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Story credit

Since all 70 episodes owe a story credit solely to David, is the column really necessary? Donmike10 (talk) 07:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. He's got others with co-credits for story in season 8. Donmike10 (talk) 21:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What are the sources for the story credits? DJ1AM (talk) 19:08, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The end credits of the episodes. Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:30, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Season 3 episode 5

Consider adding actor Martin Short to the list of guest appearances? BOOMheadshot (talk) 21:45, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ShortSummary

Radiphus has reverted the addition of information on Episode 4.6...

A man pictured incidentally in the stadium scene later used the footage to prove his alibi in a murder case. Netflix released The Long Shot, a documentary on the incident, prior to Season 7.

...on the ground that the parameter in {{Episode list}} called "ShortSummary" is restricted to plot summaries, with other information "irrelevant". If one interprets that criterion strictly, then telling us the name of the actors who played the prostitute and Marty Funkhouser is also irrelevant. The information deleted is clearly noteworthy and so belongs in Wikipedia; where else could one put it? and even it were discussed elsewhere, shouldn't it be linked to from the relevant episode? jnestorius^(talk) 17:16, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It could be said that linking the names of the actors, allows the reader to visualize the characters. On the other hand, the fact you've included is completely irrelevant to the plot of the episode. If you want my opinion, this information could be included in the parent article in a in-popular-culture-type section, though it would probably be removed from there as well, as trivia or an indiscriminate collection of information. In my opinion, this fact would have its place only in a DYK-type article, dedicated in listing this kind of information (i don't know if something like that exists). -- (Radiphus) 18:38, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
