Give Curb. a try

Bloater from from Marlesford Nr Woodbridge, 11th March, 2006

This dvd is a real treat for me, why this series has never been shown on terristial T.V.is beyond me, considering some of the rubbish we are shown. I see in Larry Davids Character, a touch of David Brent, sometimes even a touch of Basil Fawlty, definite touch of Victor Meldrew, and a touch of my wife, Barbara, who you will not know. I love his supporting cast, his managers foul mouth wife is particularly endering. The cameos from U.S. stars are great to, Ted Danson, Mel Brooks, Ross from friends, and Ben stiller all appear in later series, hillarious. Watch how Larry accidently injures the famous basketball player Shaqir O Niel. I advise people not to watch more than 2 episodes at once, just in case you start acting a bit strange, or perhaps that is just my problem. No political correctness from Larry, but never racist, just funny. enjoy Raymond Stoter

Getting better and better

Vipin Ahlawat from London, England, 1st September, 2006

After establishing its innovative format and ensemble of characters in the first series, Curb Your Enthusiasm is even funnier - and occasionally harder to watch - in series two. Larry David's depiction of a misanthropic Larry David is both excruciating and excellent but it is the supporting cast, led by Jeff Garlin as Larry's sidekick and agent, who come into their own. The lack of script and the comedy mileage in the already-established relationships allow the cast to play brilliantly off Larry and each other. Fans of Seinfeld won't automatically like this, or vice versa, but it's definitely worth persevering with.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

bexifer from from Wolverhampton, 9th August, 2008

Having never seen a single episode of Seinfeld I was unsure what I'd make of this series. I've heard so many good things about it, so I thought I'd give it a go, and I wasn't disappointed. Larry David is simply one of the funniest men I have ever seen on the small screen. American comedy is a little hit and miss for me, I either get the comedy and love it, or have no idea what people are laughing at, and hate it. Thankfully, Curb Your Enthusiasm falls into the first camp. The whole scenario is inspired, the supporting cast are wonderful, and almost every episode is laugh-out-loud funny. Yes, there are also scenes when you squirm with embarrasment on behalf of Larry, but it all adds to the fun, and over the episodes, you start to feel real affection for this... character. I have only watched the first 2 seasons so far, and can't wait to start on the 3rd, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this series to anyone. Give it a try, You'll either love it or hate it, and if you love it, then you've found a series you can repeatedly enjoy for the rest of your life. 5/5
