Curb Your Enthusiasm

This show is very underrated .Larry David is so funny and kinda sexy (although he is bald with glasses) I think it's his New York accent.
Anyone else like it?

This is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen!

I especially like the episode in which he pisses off a pro wrestler named Thor. I was laughing out loud while watching it.

Very very good show.

It's very funny ,i think you would like it.



Each half-hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm features verité-style footage of David (playing himself) at home, at work and around town, as he gets into predicaments with fictional and real-life personalities. With cast regulars Jeff Garlin (as manager Jeff Greene) and Cheryl Hines (as wife Cheryl) reprising their roles, the series features appearances by guest celebrities playing themselves or character roles.

Candid, unsparing and self-deprecating, Curb Your Enthusiasm brings the off-kilter comic vision of Larry David--co-creator and co-executive producer of one of the most lauded comedy series in TV history, Seinfeld--to HBO. The series blurs the lines between reality and fiction, as David (playing himself) and a cast of real and fictional characters are followed around Los Angeles by a ubiquitous camera that chronicles the private, often banal world of a (relatively) public man.

Having evolved from the 1999 HBO special Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, this series proves how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life--a trip to the movies, a phone call, a visit from some trick-or-treaters--can precipitate a "Murphy's Law" chain of misfortune to hilarious effect. Like George Costanza in Seinfeld, the protagonist of Curb Your Enthusiasm has a knack for getting himself into uncomfortable situations that end up alienating him from peers and acquaintances.

To keep the narrative fresh and spontaneous, Curb Your Enthusiasm is shot without a script; the cast is given scene outlines and often improvise lines as they go. The result is an unpredictable format that's unlike anything else on TV.

love the show but i find him almost repulsive in looks. can't explain it. also it gets old after a few back to back episodes simply b/c you always know that whatever larry's doing, it's going to backfire on him and make him look like a loser in the end.

Same here...it's totally hilarious. I love it. It's much better than Seinfeld (Larry David was the lead writer for that show).

That's something I'd never do - if I'm going to be something, I'll buy it sequentially.

I wouldn't call it underrated. It's been consistently in all those All Time comedy show lists and ends up in the Top 5.

It took me a long while to get into Seinfeld (those wacky "peow! katchung! ploing!" jingles at the start of each scene really bugged me and the guy just seemed so smug!), but I must admit that it has its charm, especially after you get to know the characters. I would even go as far as to buy a couple of seasons if I could find them for a reasonable price. Give 'em a chance! wink

Elaine was annoying though ,Kramer and George were the best characters.

I think Larry David based George on himself ,or the other way around.
