The comedy series from HBO delves
into the (fictional) life of television writer Larry David – his family
life and career. However, most of his encounters quickly deviate into arguments
about some opinion that Larry has, usually playing out for comedic effect.
The series is created by Larry
David, who also co-created Seinfeld (and I would
argue that this show is even better and funnier).
In addition to David, the series
stars Jeff Garlin,
Cheryl Hines,
and Susie Essman,
as well as featuring tons of great guests (like: Richard Lewis,
Bob Einstein,
J.B. Smoove,
Ted Danson,
Vivica A. Fox,
Wanda Sykes,
Julia
Louis-Dreyfus, Kaitlin Olson,
Jerry
Seinfeld, Jason
Alexander, Mary
Steenburgen, Mel Brooks, Michael York,
Ben Stiller,
David
Schwimmer, Richard
Kind, Michael
Richards, Ricky
Gervais, and Michael J. Fox).
What is great about Curb Your
Enthusiasm is that the entire series is unscripted (dialog wise). The actors use
improvisation to create every scene and comedic bit, often resulting in very
funny lines and material. The show is at its best when David finds himself in
awkward situations, which is most of the time, as he is the master of mining
the awkwardness for every bit of comedy. It is fantastic. This is a must-see
for Seinfeld fans and those who like the work of Ricky Gervais, as David is
certainly one of his big influences.
