The third season of HBO's comedy sensation offers more of the same. "Not that there's anything wrong with that," to quote Larry David's other television series, a certain little sitcom called Seinfeld. Consequently, Curb Your Enthusiasm's junior year means more Larry (Larry David) and more of his hilariously embarrassing mishaps. It also means more of his patient spouse Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), avuncular manager Jeff (Jeff Garlin), Jeff's foul-mouthed wife Susie (Susie Essman), and assorted celebrity pals, including Richard Lewis, Ted Danson, Wanda Sykes, Paul Reiser, and Martin Short, all playing themselves (or, like Larry, versions thereof). The theme that (loosely) ties these 10 episodes together is Larry's involvement in upscale eatery Bobo's, in which Danson and Michael York (yes, that Michael York) are co-investors. As expected, the restaurant will serve to complicate Larry's life in every conceivable way--and vice versa. But the funniest (and most profane) episode must surely be "Krazee-Eyez Killa," starring Chris Williams (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) as the fidelity-impaired gangster rapper to whom Wanda has become engaged. This riotous installment, which sends up Jewish, Italian, and African American gangsters alike, won an Emmy for Robert B. Weide's direction and features that old master-of-direction himself, Martin Scorsese, who first appeared in "The Special Section" (in which Larry bribes a gravedigger to relocate his mother's gravesite). It's also the episode in which Larry gets a hair stuck in his throat. That hair, which once belonged to someone rather close to him, will remain lodged there for the next several episodes, until a "divine intervention" in "Mary, Joseph and Larry" dislodges it once and for all--along with the last of Larry's dignity. --Kathleen C. Fennessy2) Description
(HBO Comedy Series) Larry David has a charmed life--success, famous friends, a patient wife, a dedicated manager and a trendy new restaurant...so what's his problem? See Larry spike some brownies, recommend a deranged nanny, thwart an Alanis Morissette concert, rob a grave and get a kid drunk. Along the way he encounters Martin Scorsese, Cheri Oteri, Richard Lewis, Krazee-Eyez Killa, and the Holy Family...and manages to piss them all off.

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) 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.2) good tv show [Rating: 5 out of 5]
My husband is addicted to this show. It's great to have the DVDs to watch whenver we want to. Highly recommend them!3) The best show in TV history [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This series, even in its weakest moments, represents the best of what the TV era has to offer (and a lot of pre-TV vaudeville is in there, too.) Anyone looking for "realism" (which is the enemy of art) should watch "Cops". This is unabashed slapstick, as subversive as the Marx Brothers, this is the best of what America offers.4) Larry David is the best! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
All 5 DVD's (Season's 1-5) are absolutely hilarious! I recommend to anyone who loves Seinfeld-like comedy.5) Curb your Enthusiasm [Rating: 5 out of 5]
My husband and I have watched every episode of this show from season one to season five. It is such a funny show. Larry Davis is a genious. His humor clearly fits nicely into the turn that society has taken. I am very grateful for the cast and their intelligent humor. It is refreshing to see a sophisticated comedy.
