Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO): Ratings Recap

HBO's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' premiered October 15, 2000 to a 2.1 HH rating and 3.08 million viewers, but tumbled in its second week to 1.8 million and averaged ~2.1 million viewers in its first 10 episodes. A second season aired in fall 2001 with most of its episodes airing on the same nights as HBO's huge miniseries 'Band of Brothers', pushing the show up to 2.3 million viewers on-average. The third season (2002) represented the peak of the show's performance, airing behind the highest-rated season of 'The Sopranos' where it took full advantage - averaging about 4.5 million viewers. It also received a slight boost in its fourth season (3.1 million) which mostly aired behind the final season of 'Sex and the City' and the last 2 episodes airing behind the fifth-season of 'The Sopranos.' The numbers crumbled after that though, to 1.3 million in 2005 (airing behind the moderately-rated 'Rome'), and to 965,000 in 2007 (where it had no notable lead-in). It managed to pick up steam in the next two seasons, averaging about 1.2 million 2009 and just under 2 million in 2011, but then took a 6-year break and returned back down just over 1 million in fall 2017. It declined even further in 2020 (663,000) and fell to its lowest numbers ever in 2021 (441,000). There is no word yet on the status of a 12th season.
