Season Details & Credits

HBO | Season Premiere Date: September 11, 2001

Starring: Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Cheryl Hines

Summary: Each half-hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm features verité-style footage of David (playing himself) at home, at work and around town, as he gets into predicaments with fictional and real-life personalities. With cast regulars Jeff Garlin (as manager Jeff Greene) and Cheryl Hines (as wife Cheryl), the series features appearances by guestEach half-hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm features verité-style footage of David (playing himself) at home, at work and around town, as he gets into predicaments with fictional and real-life personalities. With cast regulars Jeff Garlin (as manager Jeff Greene) and Cheryl Hines (as wife Cheryl), the series features appearances by guest celebrities playing themselves or character roles. Candid, unsparing and self-deprecating, Curb Your Enthusiasm brings the off-kilter comic vision of Larry David--co-creator and co-executive producer of one of the most lauded comedy series in TV history, Seinfeld--to HBO. The series blurs the lines between reality and fiction, as David (playing himself) and a cast of real and fictional characters are followed around Los Angeles by a ubiquitous camera that chronicles the private, often banal world of a (relatively) public man. Having evolved from the 1999 HBO special Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, this series proves how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life--a trip to the movies, a phone call, a visit from some trick-or-treaters--can precipitate a "Murphy's Law" chain of misfortune to hilarious effect. Like George Costanza in Seinfeld, the protagonist of Curb Your Enthusiasm has a knack for getting himself into uncomfortable situations that end up alienating him from peers and acquaintances. To keep the narrative fresh and spontaneous, Curb Your Enthusiasm is shot without a script; the cast is given scene outlines and often improvise lines as they go. The result is an unpredictable format that's unlike anything else on TV.

Last season, it took me a while to get used to the shambling pace imposed by the show's improv strategy, but by now, Curb's inventive riffing is like good jazz music. Read full review

Larry David will not lie down and just let this stupid unfair world roll over him. He's going to fight it every step of the way. He will never surrender. He's effortlessly hilarious...

With the introduction of both Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as themselves, season two is the first season to introduce a season long arc, a rather meta plot about an actor being frustrated with his career after appearing on a hugely successful sitcom. The excellentWith the introduction of both Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as themselves, season two is the first season to introduce a season long arc, a rather meta plot about an actor being frustrated with his career after appearing on a hugely successful sitcom. The excellent writing/improvising ensures that whilst this gives audiences more of an investment in the characters, the show never loses it’s comedic edge.… Expand
