The Autie Rae character is lovely, but not an attractive woman. Larry actually does very well with the ladies (inexpicably), so I'd expect him to be with someone beautiful, whether they were white or black. And I agree that Leon is hilarious in a way that transcends race. He's so over the top that you can't associate him with any black person you know!

I think with Larry it's about him making fun of the self-hating jew persona more so than making fun of anything else. He makes EVERYONE look bad, but he is so skilled at it, while I understand the complaints some may have in regards to this show, if you hung out with Jewish people you'd know that Jewish people probably have way more to be offended about in regards to this show than black people. He's wrong on many levels, but very funny to me. Jane I LOVE Larry David, he’s freakin way too funny.

I cannot believe that Larry hit that. I died laughing at the last movie scene & considered Larry to the latest soul brother. This season went out with a bang once Susie got cussed the hell out. That was a long time coming! Bygbaby I just saw the finale last night & OMG, it was off the chain. I cannot believe that Larry hit that.

I agree with Bella. The characters are all an exercise in stereotypes. In actuality, Susie is more "ghetto" than all of them. Have you heard the things that have come out of that woman's mouth over the seasons?! I do admit that Leon was over the top at times, but I never found myself cringing. I simply watched it and enjoyed it. And laughed like hell. And shook my head at Larry's brilliant insanity. Let us now forget that these are not the first black people they've had on there. Remember Wanda Sykes' character...and then there was last season, Cheryl's doctor who Larry made that comment about and then had to go to his house to apologize in front of a room full of his professional black friends? No stereotypes there. I was happy to see some black people on the show period. They didn't tear up the house, leave chicken bones, smoke weed, or any of the stereotypical ways they have us "show out." I just didn't find it offensive, but perhaps I just saw the episodes and didn't watch. From my understanding, the show is unscripted. Totally improv.

I am watching tonight on demand. Larry's set of Black character is interesting but far from racist imo. Bygbaby I love CYE & Larry is my boy! I am watching tonight on demand.

Hopefully he can mirror those succesful pick-ups this season in his real-life re-entry into the dating scene! Larry as he’s gotten older has learnt to use his neurosis as a charm.

He seemed to flirt with Lucy Lawless, the doctor and Paula with ease, for someone who hadn't dated in 12 years. He just didn't know what to do with them once he got them.

But I think that the reason Larry suddenly fell for Loretta is because she's just like Cheryl! She seems to be so understanding and accepting of his crap. She wasn't even embarrassed about him talking about his anus on stage, she just thought it was funny. At the beginning of the episode, he said he would never find anyone like Cheryl again, and at the bat mitzvah it was like he had an epiphany and realized Loretta was as close to Cheryl he was going to get.
