Trivia

Due to the show's improvisational nature, there are no writing credits except for "Story by Larry David". One notable exception is in the seventh season, where the script for the Seinfeld (1989) reunion, is attributed to Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, albeit in the fake show's credits.

Goofs

In the season 4's "The Weatherman," Marty Funkhauser says that his mother died ten years ago. However, as of the beginning of the season 6's "The Ida Funkhauser Roadside Memorial," Marty's mother had just recently been killed while driving her wheelchair.

Quotes

Larry: Hear the birds? Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm deaf and I try to imagine what it's like not to be able to hear them. It's not that bad.

---

Crazy Credits

There are no writing credits during the first 3 seasons. The same thing happened in Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm (1999), but that was done for realism (it was a mockumentary).

---

Alternate Versions

The DVD version of "Wandering Bear" omits a scene shown on television in which Larry and Jeff watch "Girls Gone Wild" and nudity is shown.

User Reviews

Maybe The Only Comedy on TV That's Actually Funny

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" is my new litmus test for how I respond to people. Occasionally, I'll meet those " I-just-don't-get-it" people, or someone of the "I-don't-think-it's-very-funny" persuasion. This is a real time-saver, because I know right away that these are people whom I needn't bother with.

More often, I'm inclined to meet people who tell me that CYE is the only comedy on TV that makes them laugh out-loud... or that they make plans to either be home on Sunday night or to tape it. These are "my people" -- kindred spirits.

To those of you who don't get it, Go back to your sitcoms with the enhanced laugh track that tells you what's supposed to be funny. (Or better yet, you can rent "Dude, Where's My Car?" again.) Those of us who think this is the most innovative sitcom to come down the pike in recent memory are happy to have this show all to ourselves.

Thank you Larry and cast and crew for giving me an excuse to fire up the old Trinitron once a week.
