Remember how Curb Your Enthusiasm ended last season, with Larry posed in happy, jolly family pictures with the Blacks? Did it leave you laughing and dying to know what happens next -- or is this the end?

The answer is now known. There's more Curb Your Enthusiasm on deck, because Larry David has said yes to another HBO season.

HBO announced a seventh season of Curb. It will begin airing in early 2009, giving Larry plenty of time to write the 10 episodes planned. HBO's West Coast prez Michael Lombardo characterized Larry as "excited about it" when he presented at TCA.

That characterization is in line with comments by both Richard Lewis and Jeff Garlin, semi-regular and regular, respectively, in previous months.

And Susie Essman told the New York Post that she had auctioned off a walk-on role in season seven, so it would have been very embarrassing if she didn't know that they were all coming back.

Currently, David is working with Woody Allen on a feature -- still untitled -- so presumably the filming of Curb want commence till the fall. I can't wait to see where he plans on taking the show.

Larry is just not the kind of guy to embrace his bliss, and those pictures with the Blacks -- the African-American family who moved in with him and Cheryl and stayed after Cheryl moved out -- looked idyllic. Larry's going to find some reason to screw it up, only it won't be his fault. And when he comes back, will he still have tickle in his anus? Just wondering...
