The season finale of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" brought us not just the "Seinfeld" reunion but also an ending and a new beginning for Larry David.
What did you think of the season finale?
Curb Your Enthusiasm is an American comedy series starring Seinfeld writer, co-creator, and executive producer Larry David as himself. It is produced and broadcast by HBO. The series was inspired by a 1999 one-hour fake documentary titled Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, which David and HBO originally envisioned as a one-time project. The series has been nominated for dozens of Emmys, although it has only won once, and has won a Golden Globe.
The show stars Larry David as a fictional version of himself, accompanied by fictional re-creations of his real friends, usually played by themselves. Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Wanda Sykes, and Richard Lewis all have recurring roles as characters based on themselves.
The show is set in affluent Pacific Palisades, California, David's real place of residence, and revolves around Larry's experiences as a semi-retired famous television producer. Although Larry maintains an office, he is rarely shown working, other than in season four which centered on his being cast as Max Bialystock in the Mel Brooks play The Producers. Most of the show revolves around Larry's interactions with his friends and neighbors. The fictional Larry David is something of a misanthrope, often making inappropriate comments and getting offended or angry when others fail to adhere to his often arbitrary standards of behavior. Despite Larry's often offensive behavior and sometimes wildly inappropriate adventures, few of his friends seem to remain offended for long and the cast has stayed stable throughout the show.
