5/5 Who?

Who is Larry Davis? If you don't like Seinfeld, you probably won't like this either. Funniest show on the air, bar none!!

5/5 Curb is pure GENIUS!!!
  by A. Monique Laguerre (Providence, RI)
Ever since my bestfriend turned me onto Curb Your Enthusiasm I've been hooked! It is the most intelligent humour on television without being pretentious or predictable! So far the sixth season is my favorite but all of his shows are gems! Larry David is one of the funniest people I've seen in my lifetime and I'm picky. Pick one of the seasons and watch it! I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

2/5 Think of the final episode of "Seinfeld"
  by Brian Armstrong (Detroit, Michigan, USA)
Simply put: "I'm Larry David: I'm super-rich, super-successful, and a has-been.... NOW what? I know, I'll star in a show about myself-- I'll be the REAL Jerry Seinfeld-- but I'm really GEORGE!"
Result: not really funny at all, so much as "interestingly boring." Just like on Saturday Night Live, the problem with celebrity-mocudrama is EGO, i.e. they are so successful, that they know they don't HAVE to be funny anymore-- and they don't CARE what anyone else thinks; so their only motivation is entertaining themselves, rather than the audience. And with Larry, this manifests in his own fantasy, where he's supposedly obsessed with everyone else's opinion of him being a nice-guy -- because that's the only way he can relate to the audience anymore, but the reality is that he's simply a one-hit wonder but still craves attention, and so he tries to play self-deprecation, but only succeeds in self-indulgence. His "weird experiences" which are simply CONDESCENSION-- i.e. that a semi-billionare celebrity like Larry David can suffer the same problems as the "little guy in the audience," like having to deal with the same crap from idiot bottom-feeders despite that he has more money than God. It's interesting to watch ONCE, usually just to see how bad it is; but I would never invest in a DVD. Just download it off the 'net, watch it once, and then erase it... like I did. (Yeah, sue me). :D

Also: the reason that this got so many 5-star reviews, is that it's written by people who bought the first four seasons-- and so they're obviously fans. If you just asked people who saw it on HBO, it would get 2 stars max.

5/5 Great Season and Was Better On Second Viewing!
  by Lynn Ellingwood (Webster, NY United States)
When I first saw this season, I was disappointed and compared it to other seasons in a negative way. Maybe it is the passage of time but watching the DVD set for the first time, I found many jokes I hadn't noticed before and found the show hilarious. Guess it wasn't as showy and more subtle than other seasons but not too subtle. I'm still wondering where the cell phone was located.

5/5 One of the Best TV Shows Ever

Curb is basically a continuation of Seinfeld... if you love Seinfeld, you'll absolutely love Curb.

Larry David = George, and HBO gave Curb the oppertunity for longer R rated shows.
