Everyone's favourite miserable millionaire is back for another season of unparalleled hilarity. This year, in addition to buying and settling into a new house, Larry manages to send Shaquille O'Neal to the hospital, offend a fellow Jewish neighbour, aggravate a professional wrestler, give an unwanted haircut to a doll, and much, much more. Once again, Larry David (co-creator of SEINFELD) has assembled a brilliant supporting cast--Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, Wanda Sykes, Richard Lewis, Susie Essman--to realise his vision of a world that is comprised of one unfortunate misunderstanding after another.

"...Easily one of the smartest, funniest sitcoms ever made..."
"...As close to perfection as television comedy gets..."
This was so not what I was expecting. Very un-funny - I turned it off 15 mins into the first episode.
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.
