Watch Curb Your Enthusiasm
The comedy of Curb Your Enthusiasm comes from many of the same daily mundane situations as David's former creation, Seinfeld. The difference is in the tone of the show. Curb Your Enthusiasm follows a married David through his daily activities as a semiretired television writer and producer. The show features situational comedy involving David's wife, friends and neighbors. The show explores aging parents, unusual sexual proclivities, illness and difficulties raising children. Where as Seinfeld was about nothing, Curb Your Enthusiasm is about everything. The show's funniest moments are found in the low key comedy about the daily social indignities that we all endure. David is a master at pointing out the absurdity of our lives. His comedy is engaging because it examines our daily dealings with fellow humans in an insightful way but never does the show, or apparently Larry David, ever take itself too seriously.
Because David works in the entertainment industry, the show is overflowing with celebrities playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Michael J. Fox makes an appearance as a neighbor. Parkinson's humor ensues. In the end, it is Larry David himself that makes this show work so well. The show's success is due to David's insightful and frank view of the world.

Curb Your Enthusiasm News
If you found it hard to believe that Larry David was really going to break his HBO series out of mothballs, there's some evidence this week that it's actually going to happen. Curb's ninth season went into production, and from that, there's (probably) no going back.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress Cheryl Hines has married the nephew of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr., at the Kennedy compound in Cape Cod.
Larry David spoke to journalists at the Television Critics Association's press tour in order to promote his new HBO movie, "Clear History." The journalists, though, were also wondering about the status of his beloved series, "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
After a fierce bidding war, Michael J. Fox's new sitcom has landed at NBC. What does this mean for the sitcom, and for the network? Probably quite a bit.
It's the end of the season for Larry David and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and the show goes out in style with an episode featuring Michael J. Fox. This episode involves swastikas, "pre-gay" children and jokes about Parkinson's disease. Get your "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode recap here.
At lunch, Larry hears the music from a Mr. Softee ice cream truck, which brings back a rush of memories from his childhood. Apparently, he was caught having a game of strip poker with the daughter of the Mr. Softee man, and ran out onto the street with no clothes on. Man can't compete with machine, people.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" never ceases to amaze. In the latest episode, Larry and crew manage to fit a "Fugitive" parody into a story revolving around racism, ugly wives, car periscopes and cheating trainers. When decisions get difficult, they've even got a bigoted ex-TV judge on hand to help make decisions. Watch the episode recap here.
