Curb Your Enthusiasm - Denise Handicapped

Larry meets and flirts with Denise at a coffee shop and immediately invites her to a private violin concert. Then, it's revealed she's in a wheelchair. Larry loses the concert invite by (among other things) asking the white parents if their adopted Chinese daughter has a proclivity for chopsticks. He tries to break it off with Denise, but her situation gets him preferential treatment everywhere, so naturally, he decides to become her boyfriend . . .

The highly politically incorrect subject matter shows just what a horrible person LD is, all the way down to his Blackberry. He definitely gets what he deserves when Rosie O'Donnell kicks his ass not once, but twice. This show is the best thing she's ever done. Ted Danson's scene was unnecessary, but it was nice to see the return of Leon and hear about the contacts on his Blackberry. My favorite moment was Susie inviting Jeff for a walk on the beach. Consistently humorous all around, with a great ending. B+

This was an A- for me. A great episode all around.

I haven't had a second viewing yet, so maybe it will get an upgrade.
