Curb Your Enthusiasm

Larry David has got it all: a loving wife, good friends, and a successful career-- what could possibly go wrong? Co-creator and executive producer of the long running hit series 'Seinfeld', David tackles a new, but familiar, topic in his latest show – himself.

Shot cinema-verité style and mostly improvised, each half-hour episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" proves how the seemingly trivial details of day-to-day life – a trip to the movies, a phone call, holding an elevator – can precipitate a "Murphy's Law" chain of misfortune to hilarious effect.

Surrounded by an eclectic mix of real and fictional re-creations of his friends and enemies, prone to speaking the unspeakable and honest to the point of insensitivity, Larry David – like George Costanza in "Seinfeld" – is a walking victim of misunderstandings and missed opportunities.
