1) Product Description
Larry David has it all - money, security, famous friends, a nurturing wife, a devoted agent, a new oceanfront home. So why is he still so intent on making a mess out of his life? Just because you've made it doesn't mean you've got it made. Curb Your Enthusiasm, folks - it's the HBO comedy series starring Larry David...as Larry David!Episodes:1 - 1. The Car Salesman2. Thor3. Trick or Treat4. The Shrimp Incident5. The Thong2 - 6. The Accupuncurist7. The Doll8. Shaq9. Baptism10. The MassageSystem Requirements:Running Time 300 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE2) Amazon.com
It's more of the same for Larry David's sitcom from HBO, and for fans, that's a good thing. The show--largely extemporized--follows suit of David's former series, Seinfeld: it's a show about nothing, just the everyday life of the star going about his pseudo-real world. But David's show has far more edge (thanks, in part, to airing on cable TV) with all the bad luck, embarrassing situations, and dreadful behavior as its premiere season. The closest thing to an arc is David's season-long pitch to the networks for a new show starring former Seinfeld stars Jason Alexander and Julia-Louis Dreyfus. Each network is lampooned, especially HBO, which David has a bad history with in this alternate world. Sure to repel those with soft funny bones, Curb's acerbic comedy allows jokes where David is accidentally framed--if ever so briefly--as a child molester, wife abuser, or murderer. But for those who do love his shtick, there are big laughs, especially when we bump into characters as unbridled as David, like a fellow writer who is quite protective of his dad's invention, the Cobb salad. Many comic actors pop up, some as "themselves" (Richard Lewis, Rob Reiner) and others as characters (Rita Wilson, Ed Asner) along with the delights of co-stars Cheryl Hines as David's wife and his affable manger, Jeff Garlin. There are several touchstone bits: what a thong brief can do to a relationship, a run-in with pro wrestler, Larry's first baptism, and one very collectible doll. To pick one episode to capture this second season--and its grandstanding nature--it would be "Shaq," in which the NBA star is accidentally tripped, changing David's usual bad luck with gut-busting results. --Doug Thomas

1) Curb YE season 2 [Rating: 5 out of 5]
CYE in it's prime. 10 rock solid episodes. I haven't gotten a chance to look at the extra's yet but I would highly recommend this set and series to any fan of Seinfeld, the Office or anyone who likes improvisation or mocking the hollywood scene. Sometimes it gets so awkward it is hard to watch which is why it's so great. Fans of Curb should check out a movie with Tim Robbins called "The Player" for further exploration of Hollywood and TV/movie production.2) curbs is tops! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
is there a funnier tv show? i demand to know what it is?larry is the hero!3) Funniest Show I've Ever Seen [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Curb is the most irreverant, taboo-busting comedy series I've ever seen. Some may find it offensive, but those are the best people to watch it with.4) Curb... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
You won't want to curb your enthusiasm while watching this. Larry David's a genius. Even better than Seinfeld!!5) Love this series, but 2nd season is not the best... [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I've really been enjoying re-visiting the Curb Your Enthusiasm Series. When you have an opportunity to view them all, you realize 2nd season is not the best, but still worth the time.
