As Larry David developed “Seinfeld,” he openly and unabashedly acknowledged it was “a show about nothing.” Now, “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Larry David’s show about Larry David similarly is a show dedicated to complete dramatization of practically nothing. Somehow, it manages to be funny anyway. Larry David stars as Larry David, who is a fictionalized version of Larry David. No narcissism in that set-up. The coincidences persist through the rest of the cast: Cheryl Himes plays Cheryl, Jeff Garlin plays Jeff, and Susie Eastman plays Susie, making it much easier to play along on the home version.
A semi-retired television writer, David has trouble adapting to the social conventions in Los Angeles, and he devotes a great deal of time and energy to correcting or making-up for his mistakes…except when he correcting other people’s rude or outrageous behaviour. In its way, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” testifies to David’s and the cast’s comic genius, because he outlines the plot for each episode, but the actors improvise all of the dialogue, keeping their own enthusiasm well under control.
