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).

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.

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 !

I have this 6-season set on my wish list, but I just saw it at Sam's Club -- at $15.88 per season. With tax, that comes to just over 100 bucks which is more reasonable considering that each season is just 10, 1/2 hour episodes. I think I'll go with the savings this time.
That being said, "Curb" is just great! It's no wonder Seinfeld was so successful -- Larry David's wry sense of humor is absolutely superb.

To say that Curb Your Enthusiasm is genius is like saying the sky is blue. The studies of the human character and the idiotic situations we put ourselves through as a culture in America are shown here in full and without remorse. The character "Larry David" does everything wrong, but he has his reasons. Most of the time his actions aren't noble and no matter what they harm someone, but Larry usually gets his comeuppance in the end.

I'll concede that the show is a bit formulaic, but there are still many surprises to be had. To me, the ultimate episode of Curb has to be "The Doll", (S2Ep7). By this time the show had really hit its stride, and this episode shows how well the formula works. Even the smallest, most innocuous details are important to the plot. The key to the biggest laugh in this episode is a simple plastic water bottle. You have to see it to believe it.

Curb is worth every cent and definitely worth your time. The collections themselves are light on extras with the exception of Seasons 5 and 6 which bring in some bloopers and interviews, but I'd venture to guess there really isn't much to be had behind the scenes of the show. If you're interested in that, cue up this YouTube video of Ricky Gervais interviewing Larry David, but NOT BEFORE you finish watching the series (http://bit.ly/RGvsLD). Spoilers abound!

Be prepared to laugh, to cringe, and to be shocked at the lenghts Larry goes to. Not for the faint of heart or easily offended, as every subject is fair play.

Disc 1, Series 1 was defective and will not play (the other 11 are fine). Unfortunately I didn't try the DVD and thus did not discover this problem until after the Amazon return deadline had expired. Amazon Returns suggested I contact the manufacturer (HBO) since DVD's should have a 1 Yr. warranty. I did this however HBO will not replace the disc because it was not purchased directly from them.

Moral of the story: If you order a DVD from Amazon, check that it works immediately, even if you do not have time to watch the entire performance.

I haven't received these in the mail yet, as I just ordered them the other day, but I have seen "many" of the episodes, and the show is GREAT.... have contemplated buying these at stores etc. for a long time.... with the "deal of the day" it became a no-brainer.

I am NOT a fan of the show "Seinfeld" but I absolutely LOVE this show. I hear a lot of people say "if you like Seinfeld, you'll like this" but I'd say, if you've stayed away from this show because you don't like Seinfeld, you should check this show out, it's a LOT better, and actually very different....

I have enjoyed the works of Jerry and Larry over the past 21 years.

This duo hve helped me through many years of ill health. I believe they have done the same for many.

Thank you both.

Regards,

David Smith

This show has no limits for comedy. Larry David the genius writer and co-creator of seinfeld shows his master pieces of comedy in this show curb your enthusiasm. If you like seinfeld you would love curb most likely its on HBO so he can do pretty much whatever he wants which makes this show better I would say check it out. It's about an old bald man that speaks his mind to everyone doesn't really filter its genius. He doesn't care about what people think of him most of all. If you can relate to comedy of everyday life watch this show or if you need a laugh track or need other people to tell you what is funny this isn't. This show is very original and uses a lot of improvisation.

Unless you don't like to laugh don't get this. Along with my 2 boys we spent countless hours laughing our @sses off. Great collection.
