Funniest Show I've Ever Seen

Curb is the most irreverant, taboo-busting comedy series I've ever seen. Some may find it offensive, but those are the best people to watch it with.

Funny Funny Stuff

My sister told me a long time ago about this show. I had never seen it and she told me that she loved it. She assured me that I would like it. Well, I got the first season the other day and I must say that she was right. This show is hilarious!!!! I recommend it to anybody. Larry David is funny as hell.

So funny but not for those over 70

I like challenging my family and introducing them to material that stretches their point of view. Not being an HBO subscriber, I was hoping CYE would be on the level of Seinfeldt- good for the whole family. Larry David's all too frequent use of the "F" word and crude references to male and female organs in my mind makes this rich series inaccessible for grandma and grandpa, the grandkids, and probably many church goers who could really benefit from this sophisticated humor. IMHO, it's a shame he couldn't have curbed his enthusiasm just a tad to make this wonderful series available to all (like Seinfeldt). Grandma is stuck with the less lustrous American Idol and old issues of Millionaire, while I'll be frustrated that I can't share this wonderful comedy classic.

The best modern version of the Restoration comedies of Wycherly and Congreve

4.5 stars

Some of this series has been great, and some of it painfully embarrassing to watch (let's face it, sometimes Larry is just a spoiled selfish brat). The great moments can be truly classic, however, never more so than in the hour-long pilot, where the concept of the show is not yet fully in place, and the real Larry appears as well as the LD he says (in the commentary)he wishes he could be, who is the main character in the series.
In the pilot we get Jerry and Jason Alexander and others talking about what Larry is really like, which is hilarious, and then we get some snippets of him doing stand-up, which is actually damn good. He really oughta do a full stand-up dvd. The pilot is one of the funniest tv episodes I've ever seen.
The rest of season one shows Larry settling in to the LD persona he creates, and has many excellent story lines and jokes. Essentially this is a modern comedy of manners and mores; no shortage of material there! I keep thinking of Wycherly and Congreve when I watch this; over 300 years later and we're still caught up in our dumbass conventions that signify nothing but ego and vanity.
This show will neve be as good as Seinfeld because the characters just aren't as strong (and Jason is a better Larry than Larry ever could be), but the liberties that being on HBO affords lets LD go places Sein never could...but I guess that's kind of a liability in some ways. You've got to work harder for a laugh when you can't say nasty words.
This show is starting to get a little tired, but the first four or five seasons have some truly genius moments. Any guy worth a billion dollars who can make millions of people feel sorry for him is a genius, no doubt!
