"""Without handheld cameras, low production values and a lot of adlibbing, """"Curb Your Enthusiasm"""" has the look of a cross between reality-TV, your uncle's home movies and high budget porn. Adding to the strange """"real life"""" quality of the show is that the star/creator Larry David plays a character named Larry David and the show is littered with appearances by the likes of Richard Lewis, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus all playing """"themselves"""" (or people in alternative realities who look like them and have the same life histories).
In another show about nothing, """"Curb Your Enthusiasm"""" focuses on the daily life of """"Seinfeld"""" co-creator Larry David and maintains many of the qualities of the groundbreaking comedy. Each episode builds its own plot, with a revolving door of supporting players. But the show is its star, Larry David. Fans (or loathers) of George Costanza will see similarities between the fictitious George and the man who created him. Like George, the neurotic Larry obsesses over events that do not go well, over-analyzes everything, and often is the chief saboteur in destroying his ambitious plans. Most episodes end with Larry coming face to face with the most disastrous consequences of his conniving ways.
""""Curb Your Enthusiasm"""" is not for everyone, as many of the plots grow from distasteful subject matter and in the Dadaistic sense, challenge conventions and cultural norms for comedy. Stories are built from incest survivors groups, pants that make Larry appear constantly aroused and the season's most shocking moment, an obituary typo for a """"beloved aunt"""" in which the """"a"""" is replaced by the worst letter possible for that situation (think about it if you must).
Truly avant-garde telivision, """"Curb Your Enthusiasm"""" stands on the unconventional shoulders of """"Seinfeld"""" and reaches new heights in absurdity and artistic accomplishment. Although destined to never be as commercially successful as David's first show, """"Curb Your Enthusiasm"""" dazzles the critics and will build a faithful core of cult followers for years to come.
