Maria Sofia is worst character in Curb history
More Leon, less Maria
I hate nitpicking Curb, because it's almost always an entertaining watch regardless, but I straight up don't understand the Maria Sofia plot line/Larry's dilemma. He has an ungodly amount of money. A backyard pool fine is nothing to him. It's pocket change. So why is he willing to sabotage his show not to pay it? Especially since the show getting picked up would ultimately make him even more ungodly amounts of money? Everything else this season has been hilarious, even the pitch meetings, until Maria Sofia's name comes up.
I don't get it at all.
This take shows me that you would be a good middler.
I can middle with the best of them. It's all about proper distribution.

Is he playing on a stereotype?
What do you mean?

Larry is so cheap he'll go to extremes to avoid paying.
I guess, but I've never really seen him as being cheap. And again, he's sabotaging a show that would otherwise earn him more money.
It's not just the fine for not having a fence. The cousin threatened to sue him as well.
Larry is also motivated by spite over anything else, even money.

Forgot about him threatening to sue. Still, the guy was breaking into/trespassing on Larry's property. What kind of case would he have?

I hate the Maria Sofia story
It's the worst. The actress playing her drives me nuts. I find myself looking at my phone during her scenes. It's so bad.

I'm starting to wonder if the character and the actress playing her is based on a true story.

I am thinking that this is more than going to the cops and getting a ticket. I thought the father was threatening to sue Larry because he didn't have a fence around his pool.

Isn't some variation of this like 95% of the plot lines of this show? Larry's absurd "principle stand" lands him in some ridiculous situation a person with $400M should not be in? It's literally the entire conceit of the show.Quote:

There are numerous real world cases of burglars suing homeowners for injuries sustained during the crime.
The meta-ness of the Maria Sofia bit is brilliant. Imagine casting this part for Curb needing a good-enough actress that can play an awful actress as a hopeful for Larry David's show within the show. To me, it's hilarious and next-level meta.
So are Cheryl and Ted living together?
Formerly Willy Wonka
Haven't they been in a serious relationship for years now?
I knew they had gone out but I didn't know they were living together.

I'm with you guys on the Maria Sophia nonsense. Hopefully her time is coming to a close next episode.
Leon and the watermelon was so damn funny. And an Aggie Marc Menchaca made an appearance!
Ol Joe here has a picture of Nancy Pelosi on his tractor
Man, I was 100% positive Larry would have the klan robe hanging up in his house when Mary came over (just like I thought Maria Sofia would run into the glass at the audition).
Finally an episode without Maria Sofia......thank God!
That was THE funniest episode I've seen in quite awhile.

Just to reiterate what RichardSplet was alluding to above, Joe the Klansman was played by an Aggie, Marc Menchaca. Same dude from Ozark and The Outsider.

And he got to (still gets to?) play with Lena Headey's fun bits.
"F*** you! That's a good name for a cow!"
That was the best weaving of stories they've written in awhile.

I think I'm going to have my leg amputated
That's great!
If you're gonna give an important job to an inferior race, you have to expect us to screw it up
Agree best episode of the season…back to the Larry roots

I would've enjoyed it a little more if Leon had been eating watermelon with the guy from the grocery store.
Did you miss the scene altogether? That exactly what he was doing.double aught said:

After I read that, For a minute there I thought I was being "they all look alike" racist old white guy.
That was a different dude, a previous friend of Leon's.Anagrammatic Nudist said:Did you miss the scene altogether? That exactly what he was doing.double aught said:

Yeah...that wasn't the guy from the grocery store. The guy in that scene has been around and has been in plenty of scenes before.
