Trivia

There is no script to each episode, just a heavily detailed plot outline, which the actors all improvise. On average, each scene will require between 7 or 8 takes which is very high for a TV series on a tight schedule.

Larry David: [watching Girls Gone Wild] You know what a woman would do if I ever asked her to lift up her top?
Jeff Greene: Why do you have to analyze this? Can't we just watch this?
Larry David: She would spit on me! If I ever asked a woman to lift up her top, she would kick me in the balls and spit on me!
Jeff Greene: We've waited a long time to see this and all you're doing is yakking. Be quiet, come on!

The Funniest Show on Television, Period!

I was a bit skeptical when I started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm. I love Larry David (I think he's a mastermind for creating 'Seinfeld) but I didn't know how it would turn out. 'Seinfeld' was such an amazing show, and this could only be worse. By about the eighth episode of season 1 entitled "Beloved Aunt", I knew that 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' was ever better then 'Seinfeld'. This is the funniest half-hour to ever, ever enter the world of television. Larry David plays himself, and it is pretty much about him in every day life getting into crappy situations. The entire show is improvised (there is no script) so the very talented performers on the show ab-lib through the scenes. It's hysterical the things the actors say, but the situations they are put into are absolutely to die for. The bottom line is 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' will have you laughing so hard you'll have a hard time breathing. The show is going on it's fifth season starting in June. I for one, can't wait! Grade: A+
