Curb Your Enthusiasm

Curb Your Enthusiasm centers around the life of Seinfeld co-creator Larry David as he struggles with his daily interactions with the rest of the world. The show has gone from a cult favorite to a critical darling, winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe, and rated fifth highest amongst TV shows on metacritic.com. Noted for its improvisational style, the characters in the show engage in a more realistic dialogue than the standard sitcom. Larry David plays an exaggerated version of himself, as he goes through his days attempting to not offend others with little success. He consistently finds himself in outrageous situations involving a variety of social conventions, from minute details like phone etiquette to more significant social issues such as race relations, but all given the same humorous treatment. Larry is accompanied by his best friend and manager Jeff Green, played by Jeff Garlin, who both helps Larry with his issues and is a source of problems himself. Most of the drama has to do with tricking Jeff's wife, played by Susie Effman, who has no problem cursing out both Jeff and Larry. Larry's wife Cheryl, played by Cheryl Hines, is consistently left in disbelief at his behavior and must deal with the repercussions. Each season, with the exception of the first, has a loose story line that connects all the episodes. In Season Seven, Larry plans a Seinfeld reunion show in an attempt to win back his wife. The show features several guest stars who play fictionalized versions of themselves as friends and acquaintances of Larry, including Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Lewis, Wanda Sykes and Ted Danson. Famous episodes of the show include "Opening Night", "The Car Salesman", "Krazee Eyez Killa", "The Christ Nail", "The Grand Opening", "The Carpool Lane", "Wandering Bear", "The Ski Lift", and "The Smoking Jacket."
