It looks to be setting up that the story arc for the season will be that Larry has cancer, but very quickly he gets the call that he doesn't have it and it's forgotten as quickly as it begins the real story arc of the season is Larry creating a "spite store" to get back at Mocha Joe. Also in the season 10 premiere: Larry's doctor sends Larry to get an MRI.Aborted Arc: Season 10 had one: Larry and Cheryl sleep together in the heat of the moment, but they don't end up getting back together.The tenth season came out in 2020, with an eleventh premiering in 2021. Initially beginning as a one-off HBO special in 1999- coincidentally just a year after Seinfeld ended and a decade after its own initially one-off NBC pilot special premiered- the show ran for eight seasons (from 2000-2011), going on hiatus until a long-awaited ninth season premiered on October 1, 2017. Either way, the comeuppance is the punchline to the show, and will be saved for the very end. Sometimes, Larry is the more-or-less hapless victim of circumstance sometimes, he makes all the worst possible choices on the way to his comeuppance.
Of course, this varies from one episode to the next. Usually, he acts like such an unrepentant jerkass to everybody he meets that when there's a genuine misunderstanding, he can't convince anybody of his innocence. In a typical episode, Larry casually offends someone in the first act, discovers that he desperately needs their help in the second, and then makes matters worse trying to secure it. Edgy, cynical and anarchic to a degree not even achieved by its predecessor - basically, think if Seinfeld had been just about George. Larry David, the super-wealthy co-creator of Seinfeld, plays Larry David, the super-wealthy co-creator of Seinfeld, in this improvisational comedy, broadcast on HBO since 2000. Remember that episode of Seinfeld where George pitched his idea for a show in which nothing happens? Curb Your Enthusiasm is that show.
