Hilarious Series That Are Actually On Cable TV Presently

By Earl Wallace


Excellent, nominated for twenty Emmys and also winner of a Golden Globe for Best Television Series Musical or Comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm is among the most smart and amusing shows on TV. The HBO original series is the idea of Seinfeld creator and writer Larry David, whose life maintains a odd similarity to the quasi-fictional George Costanza.

And just like George Costanza and his neurotically-low self-esteem (we.e. "God doesn't want me to be successful), Curb Your Enthusiasm propagates a Murphy's Law theme associated with "what can go wrong will go wrong". It's a true-to-life reality display about nothing in which every episode is certain to trigger comedy connoisseurs everywhere to tremble within enthusiastic anticipation.

Curb Your Enthusiasm centers around the actual lifetime of Larry David - post-Seinfeld as well as living the actual high life in LA. Just like Larry's other successful television venture, the actual show does not focus entirely on plot, instead of following the mundane and routine adventures of a well-known Hollywood insider. Just like their alter-ego George Constanza, Larry frequently witnesses simple acts and gestures on his part snowball into a number of misunderstandings and embarrassing circumstances.

Accompanying Larry on his daily adventures is his wife Cheryl played by Cheryl Hines and his awesome manager Jeff Greene played by Jeff Garlin in addition to a host of Hollywood as well as Broadway celebs who make normal guest appearances... Clouding the line between fiction and reality, Curb Your Enthusiasm is the perfect follow up to Seinfeld. To put it succinctly, it is a glimpse of what would have been had Jerry and George's initial been acquired by NBC, which ultimately raises the question - that wouldn't adore a show about a guy sentenced to be another man's servant?...

Give it a look, The Curb Your Enthusiasm DVD includes a variety of entertaining episodes including the season premiere "The Pants Tent" where Larry's khakis inadvertently bunch together to create a "pants tent". This innocent natural wonder becomes the origin of enmity between Larry and his wife's close friend Nancy. The actual girlfriend of Larry's new buddy Richard Lewis is also offended through the event.

In the meantime, Larry's problems compound when he calls Jeff and refers to his wife as "Hitler," unaware of the fact that Jeff's parents are hearing everything on the speaker-phone... Various other notable episodes from season one include "The Bracelet" by which Larry spends a whole day attempting to purchase a bracelet for Cheryl as a direct consequence of a fight that they had, and also "The Group" in which Cheryl becomes jealous when Larry's voluptuous ex-girlfriend Lucy bumps into the pair.
