I find that Curb Your Enthusiasm has somehow made me love L.A. even more! Adam, you should really move down here. We'll meet for lunch, drive around in a Prius, and yell at each other.

Larry David as Bialystock makes me laugh immoderately. The finale scene in which Larry doses himself with hot sauce killed me.
And I do think Cheryl Hines is quite attractive.

DEPT. OF EXONERATIONFACE IN THE CROWDIssue of 2004-06-07Posted 2004-05-31In early May last year, a sixteen-year-old girl named Martha Puebla testified in a preliminary hearing in Los Angeles about a pair of murders that were allegedly committed by her ex-boyfriend, a reputed gang member named Jose (Peps) Ledesma. Within days, on May 12th, Puebla herself was shot to death near her front door, in the Los Angeles suburb of Sun Valley. Several months later, police arrested Juan Catalan, who was then twenty-four years old, for her murder. The police theorized that Catalan committed the crime at the instigation of Ledesma and of Catalan’s brother Mario, who had been accused of aiding Ledesma in the earlier murders. The charge made Juan Catalan eligible for the death penalty.
From the start, Catalan insisted on his innocence.“The police tried to get him to confess, but he wouldn’t do it,” his lawyer, Todd Melnik, said last week. “He kept asking them to give him a lie-detector test.” Catalan told his lawyer that he had a straightforward alibi for the evening that Puebla was shot. He said that he was with his six-year-old daughter at Dodger Stadium, watching the home team lose to the Atlanta Braves, 11-4. Melnik set out to verify his client’s story.
“I subpoenaed the Dodger Vision tapes, which show shots of the crowd, and I also got the Fox Sports broadcast of the game,” Melnik said. “I knew where Juan was sitting, and in some of the shots I could tell that the seats were occupied, but you couldn’t tell it was him sitting there.” Melnik picked up another lead, however, through his negotiations to obtain the tapes from the Dodgers. He learned that on the evening of May 12th the HBO comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” had been shooting scenes in the ballpark. In that episode, which aired earlier this year, Larry David, the star of the show, attends a Dodgers game with a prostitute. (David doesn’t hire her for sex but, rather, to sit with him in his car so that he can travel in the car-pool lane on his way to the game.) Melnik asked if he could examine the HBO footage, too.
“It sounded very cool because my life is so lacking in anything interesting,” David said last week. “It did seem like kind of a lame story, but I told the lawyer, ‘Go ahead, go crazy. Look at anything you want.’ And we hooked him up with everything from the stadium, all the footage we shot that night.” On the day that Melnik came in to see the tapes, David at first left him to watch on his own, but later he stuck his head in the editing room, where the lawyer was examining the footage.
“I’m there for maybe five minutes, and the lawyer screams out, ‘There he is!’” David recalled. “We couldn’t believe it. We rewound the tape, and just as I’m walking up the aisle in one shot, this guy is sitting right there. And then there was another shot where he was standing up.” Melnik said, “Jesus Christ, if I didn’t jump three feet in the air! It was totally a eureka moment.”
The HBO footage also included time codes, so Melnik was able to pinpoint precisely when his client was at the ballpark. He also located records from a cellular-phone tower which proved that Catalan had received calls in the vicinity of Dodger Stadium at the time of the murder. Melnik presented the HBO footage and other documentation in a preliminary hearing earlier this year, and the judge dismissed the case against his client. Juan Catalan was released from jail, where he’d been for five and a half months, and he has returned to work at his father’s machine-tool shop. (Ledesma and Mario Catalan are still awaiting trial.) As for David, he said, “I tell people that I’ve now done one decent thing in my life, albeit inadvertently.”

Yeah, that makes a ton of sense, as a way to have that Leon-watching-Seinfeld work pay off in a plot way. The plots this season were so sloppy in that way (someone mentioned the zipper, too), but hey, still fun.

After 12 seasons, many viewers lament the passing of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Larry David’s sour, pseudo bio-series. I’m not a fan, because Larry truly is the self-righteous, snobby, self-loathing, narcissistic ass he portrays. That opinion is informed by an outdoor afternoon…— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) April 8, 2024

What's the timeline on that Geraldo story -- didn't Larry also have a feud going with Dershowitz?
