Larry David (well known for co-creating Seinfeld) plays a neurotic TV writer coping with life in L.A. in a tart, hilarious and semi-improvised sitcom that follows him dealing with one cringe-inducing dilemma after another. This series proves how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life--a trip to the cinema, a phone call, a visit from some trick-or-treaters--can precipitate a "Murphy's Law" chain of misfortune to hilarious effect.

This series proves how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life--a trip to the cinema, a phone call, a visit from some trick-or-treaters--can precipitate a "Murphy's Law" chain of misfortune to hilarious effect. While later seasons have brought us delightful performances from the likes of Michael York, Ben Stiller and Mel Brooks, the stars of Season 1 perfectly set the tone for the self-deprecating manner in which real-life personas are mixed with fictional characters.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. Suitable for older teens and adults.
