DVD Reviews of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete Second SeasonDVD Review: One of the Best TV Shows Ever Summary: 5 StarsCurb is basically a continuation of Seinfeld... if you love Seinfeld, you'll absolutely love Curb.
Larry David = George, and HBO gave Curb the oppertunity for longer R rated shows.
DVD Review: Tonie's review Summary: 4 StarsI think this video was very funny, and I would recommend it to anyone who would enjoy a good laugh.
DVD Review: Really Funny! Summary: 5 StarsA friend of mine let me watch this program at his house. I had never heard of it and thought it was super. They wanted over $30 per season at the stores. I found season 1 and 2 on Amazon for a tad over $3o with free shipping and they were new. What a deal, and I really love them.
DVD Review: worst show ever - do NOT be fooled by the 5-star reviews! Summary: 1 StarsThis is the worst show ever produced - taking advantage of Seinfeld fans misguided loyalty, and the wrongful thought, that since this is made by Larry Davis, it has to be good... it don't!
After a couple of episodes (if you actually get this deep into it before throwing away the dvd's) you realise that the dialogue actually follows the same structure and speech patterns that Seinfeld does - only this show has no proper actors or comedians to deliver the lines.
It's stiff, slow, tries to hard but keeps on failing, annoying, embarrassing and quite frankly a disaster.
I have no idea who these guys are that gives this 5 stars, but they have to be family of Larry's.
I bought the entire series based on the stupid 5 star reviews and the fact that I too thought that 'Larry Davis, this can only be good' - but I've had to through the dvd's out without even seeing all the episodes.
Waste of time and money!!!
DVD Review: EXTRADINARY, AMUSING, VERY GREAT Summary: 5 StarsTHE BIGGEST, GREATEST, MOST POPULAR, CLASSIC COMEDY SERIES, OF ALL TIME. AMERICA'S TOP SHOW. LARRY DAVID'S ONE OF THE FUNNIEST GOOFBALLS IN THE WHOLE WIDE, WORLD!!!!!! 5 STARS!!!!! HBO'S TOP SHOW!!!
Description of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete Second SeasonLarry David has it all - money, security, famous friends, a nurturing wife, a devoted agent, a new oceanfront home. So why is he still so intent on making a mess out of his life? Just because you've made it doesn't mean you've got it made. Curb Your Enthusiasm, folks - it's the HBO comedy series starring Larry David...as Larry David! It's more of the same for Larry David's sitcom from HBO, and for fans, that's a good thing. The show--largely extemporized--follows suit of David's former series, Seinfeld: it's a show about nothing, just the everyday life of the star going about his pseudo-real world. But David's show has far more edge (thanks, in part, to airing on cable TV) with all the bad luck, embarrassing situations, and dreadful behavior as its premiere season. The closest thing to an arc is David's season-long pitch to the networks for a new show starring former Seinfeld stars Jason Alexander and Julia-Louis Dreyfus. Each network is lampooned, especially HBO, which David has a bad history with in this alternate world. Sure to repel those with soft funny bones, Curb's acerbic comedy allows jokes where David is accidentally framed--if ever so briefly--as a child molester, wife abuser, or murderer. But for those who do love his shtick, there are big laughs, especially when we bump into characters as unbridled as David, like a fellow writer who is quite protective of his dad's invention, the Cobb salad. Many comic actors pop up, some as "themselves" (Richard Lewis, Rob Reiner) and others as characters (Rita Wilson, Ed Asner) along with the delights of co-stars Cheryl Hines as David's wife and his affable manger, Jeff Garlin. There are several touchstone bits: what a thong brief can do to a relationship, a run-in with pro wrestler, Larry's first baptism, and one very collectible doll. To pick one episode to capture this second season--and its grandstanding nature--it would be "Shaq," in which the NBA star is accidentally tripped, changing David's usual bad luck with gut-busting results. --Doug Thomas
