It has been said that you can tell a lot about a person by the theme tune they hear in their head whenever you play them the HBO intro. For many, it’s the courtly pomp of the Game of Thrones opening credits. For others, it’ll be the swampy bass of The Sopranos theme, or maybe the weird gargling of The White Lotus. For me, it has always been three ascending tuba burps that start the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme tune. This is because, as everyone knows, Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best show that HBO has ever made.
But get ready to not hear that tuba for much longer, because Larry David has just announced that the upcoming 12th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm will be its last. Which probably isn’t a surprise, since earlier this year an overzealous producer tweeted that he was witnessing the final shot of the final scene of the final ever episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, in a post that was very quickly yanked down.
