Like its fellow HBO series Sex and the City, this half-hour comedy broke some TV rules and went from critics' darling to an award-winning series in three years. Curb Your Enthusiasm is the brainchild of star-creator Larry David who co-created Seinfeld and was the basis for the easily rattled George Costanza (who was played by Jason Alexander). Like George, David has a tendency to speak too much, blow things out of proportion, and, most often, fail in the end (and often liking it that way). David's new show is also like its predecessor: it's about "nothing" except following the day-to-day ramblings of a sometime writer and comic (this time in L.A.). Eternal questions stemming from universal daily dilemmas are honed to perfect comedic absurdity. A notable exception is the show is only scripted by plot; much of the action is improvised. David plays "himself" (as does his friend, Richard Lewis) although his manager and wife are played by comedians Jeff Garlin and Cheryl Hines. Although the show is a comedic gem, one can't take more than an episode or two at a time--it's acidic, biting comedy. The episodes are often built like a house of cards, which the irritable David will surely collapse by the end. Like another caustic TV character, Dabney Colman's Buffalo Bill (1983-84), Larry David is not for everybody. --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection! September 15, 2008

What can I say, this product speaks for itself. Having all 6 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm is a great deal! They come all packaged together, same DVDs and cases as if you were purchasing each one separately (no bonus material or gift set-type of goodies, unfortunately).

5.0 out of 5 stars Larry David August 14, 2009

By Grammie

I bought 6 seasons of Curb your Enthusiasm for my Husband as a birthday gift. He wasn't thrilled with them when he opened the box as we had viewed most seasons. However as we started to watch season 1, a few weeks later he realized how much he enjoyed each episode a second time. We have had hours of laughs,and have shared a few with friends. They are wonderful to have in your video library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for Season 7 to come out ! July 12, 2009

By Robert Wolovitz

Larry David is by far the most entertaining comedian on TV today. Every one of these shows is a gem. I have watched them multiple times, and am planning to watch them any chance I get. This is a timeless collection that you wouldn't want to part with. I am looking forward to seeing Season 7 !
