Plot
Each half-hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm features semi-improvised footage of David (playing himself) at home, at work and around town, as he gets into predicaments with fictional and real-life personalities.

Candid, unsparing and self-deprecating, Curb Your Enthusiasm brings the off-kilter comic vision of Larry David--co-creator and co-executive producer of one of the most lauded comedy series in TV history, Seinfeld--to HBO.
