Larry David's inventive HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm -- which relies on talented actors to improvise their scenes from sketchy plot outlines -- undergirds the ten episodes of Season 3 with an ongoing narrative that finds him investing with Ted Danson in a restaurant venture. The 2002 opener, "Chet's Shirt," has Larry blowing off his dentist's lavish dinner soiree to attend the birthday party of his new partner's daughter, only to find himself in need of emergency dental work after Danson's child accidentally whacks him in the mouth with a baseball bat. Another regular in this season's shows is Richard Lewis (playing himself, like Danson and many other guest stars), prominently featured in "The Benadryl Brownie," involving Larry's new infatuation with cell phones and an important message that goes awry with hilarious consequences. David's trademark appreciation of black comedy informs "The Special Section" in which he uses his mother's unexpected death as an excuse to decline unwanted invitations. The somewhat inflated threat of an imminent terrorist attack disrupts an Alanis Morissette benefit performance in what might be the year's best show, "The Terrorist Attack," and the season ends on a high note as the already-stressed Larry frantically copes with last-minute crises prior to the restaurant's opening in "The Grand Opening." Regular cast members Cheryl Hines and Jeff Garlin return as Larry's wife and manager, respectively, with Michael York and Paul Reiser making frequent appearances as themselves. Some shows are a little weaker than others, but on balance this is an exceptionally strong group of episodes. Ed Hulse
