I like this show, I recommend the DVD, but can we please be honest about what it is, and why it is good when it is good? The show is marketed as “flinchingly realistic.” It says that on the box, and that seems to be the perception, uncritically repeated in everything written about the show. We are supposed to believe that it is a realistical show because people play themselves and the scenes are adlibbed. But the subplots of the shows are actually very contrived, woven together very formulaically, and all require an astronomical series of coincidences to make them all pull together in each shows finale. The shows remind me more of Fawlty Towers than of Seinfeld, in that each show consists of Larry David reacting to things the way we’d all like to react if we had no frontal lobes, and by the end of the show everyone is angry at the protagonist whether he is trying to do good or harm. There are moments that feel very realistic, and are very entertaining, like Larry David and Richard Lewis adlibbing with each, which Richard Lewis in one of the DVD extras reports is a very authentic and surreal experience. Most of the scenes though, in the service of the plot machinations, require the characters to quickly get infuriated with each other. If it is “flinchingly realistic” at all, it is realistic in the sense of portraying honest human interactions minus the superego. And that is when it’s funny. For example, when Larry David’s manager’s wife asks him if he would like a tour of their new house, and he says no. And Larry David’s reaction to having his in-laws decorate a Christmas tree in his house.

It’s a good show, this is a good season, go out and buy this DVD set. Each episode is good for at least a few very hearty laughs. When it’s good, it’s good in the way the best moments of Seinfeld and Fawlty Towers are good. It can also be over-the-top farcical in the way that the later, and weaker, seasons of Seinfeld were, when it became less focused on clever observations of human interactions and more an exercise in outrageous, cartoonishly broad comedy. Which is fine, if that is what cracks you up, but don’t then claim it is uniquely distinguished by its realism. Anyway, this is my hang-up. I get very distracted by shows in which the characters don’t act the way people actually act. In the case of this show, there is the extra layer to it, in which somehow everyone has become convinced that it is a realistic show. Judging by what people seem to like, I don’t think most people are bothered by this, so thank you for listening, and take care.
I bought Curb Your Enthusiasm with one real expections. I am a marine in Iraq and I happen to see it at the local px. I am so glad that I bought it. Everything that happens in the show is hilarious. You find something funny or different every time you watch it, definately an adult comedy. I find myself watching over and over again, not due to a lack of DVD’s I might add (we have plenty). It is like the Seinfeld that you always wanted, but couldn’t play on basic television. You wil either love this show, or not get it at all, if you do get it, it’s a homerun.
