Cheryl Hines, known for her role on Curb Your Enthusiasm as Larry David’s long-suffering wife, recently spoke out after the show’s series finale. The 58-year-old actress took to social media to share a montage of images from the show, including behind-the-scenes photos and images of the cast at awards shows. The final episode of the show aired after 12 seasons to rave reviews, with Empire film magazine calling it “an all-timer in the TV comedy hall of fame.”
The finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm followed an exaggerated version of Larry David being on trial for breaking Georgia’s election laws. He was arrested for offering a woman a glass of water while she was waiting to vote. The episode was set in a courtroom where various characters from the show’s history came back to give testimony in the jury trial. Guest stars in the finale included Greg Kinnear, Allison Janney, Ted Danson, and Jerry Seinfeld in a highly anticipated cameo. Seinfeld’s character managed to save David from a conviction after discovering a juror had broken the judge’s sequestration order, leading to a mistrial and David’s freedom.
Cheryl Hines’ support of her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in his independent presidential bid has recently been met with criticism. Kennedy has been known for his anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, which has sparked backlash against both him and Hines. At a campaign rally in Philadelphia, Hines spoke about Kennedy standing up for the average person, but her speech was met with criticism on social media. Many users expressed embarrassment for her and accused her of bad acting. Despite the negativity surrounding Hines’ public support for her husband’s campaign, she has remained steadfast in her endorsement.
Curb Your Enthusiasm initially ran from 2000 to 2011 before returning for a sixth-season run in 2017, totaling 120 episodes. The show, created by Larry David, provided a satirical look at his own life as a Hollywood writer, featuring various outrageous scenarios and interactions with celebrity guests. The series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm drew comparisons to the final episode of Seinfeld, where the main characters faced trial for being bad Samaritans. Despite some divisive opinions, the finale managed to wrap up the show’s storylines in a fitting manner, with Seinfeld ultimately saving David from conviction.
Cheryl Hines’ reflections on the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm come as a heartfelt farewell to a show that has been a significant part of her career. Her social media posts celebrating the end of the series have resonated with fans and have garnered significant attention online. While Hines’ support of her husband’s political ambitions has sparked controversy, she continues to stand by him and advocate for his presidency. As the curtain closes on Curb Your Enthusiasm, fans and critics alike will remember the show for its unique humor and ability to satirize the absurdities of everyday life.
