Curb Your Enthusiasm: Fish Stuck (2024)
Season 12, Episode 5
5/10
Weakest of the Season and Probably the Whole Show
4 March 2024
In contrast to the last two episodes we've had, this wasn't nearly as funny and it was overall meh. I only laughed like two or three times in total. That's really bad for a 40-minute episode, especially from my favorite comedy ever where I die from laughter every other episode.

I've noticed that usually the longer the episodes are, the more scripted and unfunnier they get. The funniest scene for me was Minnie putting her hand over her mouth, but that's about it, and the other two or three times I laughed was from Larry David yelling and swearing, which shouldn't be the only funny thing that happens in the show.

The plotlines just weren't as interesting or clever either. I thought that Minnie was gonna steal the script and become famous herself, but it didn't happen. I was also surprised they didn't connect Minnie to Leon's Tinkerbell fetish because I was sure that was gonna happen, but didn't.

And even though in the way of old Curb everything came together at the end and they all got connected, it was still underwhelming and not funny, because the plotlines themselves weren't really funny.

And the way Larry's girlfriend stumbled upon Minnie was just so forced and contrived and wasn't natural at all, especially the dialogue that led them to their realization.

Overall, a very weak and forgettable episode with the least amount of laughs I can remember, at least for this season so far. Even the first episode was funnier. And the storylines aren't as clever or engaging at all and felt like a really soft PG-13 and inoffensive version of Curb.
