Full Product DetailsEditorial Reviews
The missing link between Seinfeld and Larry Sanders, Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm is a line-blurring gem of a show, based not so loosely on the mundane daily travails of its accomplished if not terribly well known leading man. David -- who co-created NBC's long-running hit Seinfeld with its eponymous star -- provided the original model for that show's George Costanza character, portrayed in the series by Jason Alexander. Here, though, he plays himself in a parallel video-vérité world, turning the everyday events of his life in L.A. into wry comedic fodder, as David's mild social gaffes and misunderstandings inevitably send the action into a hilarious downward spiral. Shot with minimal scripting, the program also features Cheryl Hines as Larry's neurosis-prone wife and Jeff Garlin as his annoying manager, Jeff Greene. Various actors portray themselves over the course of these first ten episodes, most notably Richard Lewis, who turns up in "The Pants Test," "The Bracelet," and "Affirmative Action." Also showing up as themselves in Season 1 are David's fellow Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus (together with husband Brad Hall in "The Wire") and Diane Keaton (in "Interior Decorator"). Mr. Show costar Bob Odenkirk makes a splash in an especially funny character role as the titular sleazeball of "Porno Gil," an adult-entertainment industry executive who invites Larry and Cheryl to a party -- with deliciously awkward results, of course.
