Enthusiastic over this season of 'Curb'

A great season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" - highlighted by the ongoing "Seinfeld" reunion - ends Sunday night (at 9 on HBO). We don't know what's going to happen, but we do know it ends one of the funniest seasons in the show's history. Here are my five top moments - although I could think of at least two dozen more.
1. Bam Bam (Catherine O'Hara), Funkhauser's crazy sister, ruins a perfectly good dinner, with a helping hand from Larry and Jeff.
2. Larry consults with Loretta's (Vivica A. Fox) new cancer doctor, Dr. Trundle (Sharon Lawrence), and makes a perfect fool of himself - to convince Trundle that he's the cause of Loretta's illness, so Loretta will leave him.
3. Larry decides he wants to date a disabled woman because he thinks that "-- don't go out with the disabled," which means people will like him, or at least he'll get better seats at restaurants.
4. Larry kills golf club owner Mr. Takahashi's (Dana Lee) beloved swan when it attacks him, then tries to pin the murder rap on dearly departed Norm (Paul Mazursky), whom Larry sort of killed, too.
5. Larry gets Leon (J.B. Smoove) to play someone who recovered from Groat's disease, thus comforting Michael Richards, who is also suffering from it. But the ruse backfires - badly.
