#1 Cheap Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Second Season Reviews
Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
Well, who would think that Larry David is by me considered one of the funniest guys on the planet, knowing my "politics"?! Indeed he is, though! In an age where humour is mostly on the level of "Friends", it is hard to find any show that is worth to waste some time with. This show, though, can make me laugh so hard my fiancée sometimes looks at me strangely. It has its very dull moments too, not to mention that the show is (obviously) as Jewish as a show can get. Everything is there, the extreme "liberal/leftist" political opinions, the references to Jewish secular culture and mannerisms constantly, the anti-gentile tone and of course, the trophy "shiksa" wife of Mister David himself. That being said, (although it is of course not 100 % real, being a show and all) it offers very fascinating insights into a culture that is closed for us slow-witted gentiles, at the same time that it is a very self-ironic show. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the show is really "anti-gentile" or something like that, it is more "anti-Jewish" if anything, considering how it makes fun of them. The show kicks both "Left" and "Right", and like South Park is really a show for every "side".
The "pathetic" figure of Richard Lewis, and his interplay with Larry David, not to mention the no-spine manager of theirs; Jeff, really makes this one of the funniest and most surreal shows out there. I laugh onto the floor in every scene including either of these two characters, and especially while they fight Mister David. Every episode in this season is hillarious, perhaps except "The Thong" and "Shaq", which I found somewhat disgusting and boring. The whole Jason Alexander-thing is also quite dull, and should have been left out of an otherwise brilliant season. Beware, that there is nothing holy in the world of Larry David, but he's quite open about it, so not really the usual "hidden agendas" here. The extra material is really thin, though, I found nothing on this season at all. 4 stars.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Second Season Overview
Larry David has it all - money, security, famous friends, a nurturing wife, a devoted agent, a new oceanfront home. So why is he still so intent on making a mess out of his life? Just because you've made it doesn't mean you've got it made. Curb Your Enthusiasm, folks - it's the HBO comedy series starring Larry David...as Larry David!
I Love Curb your enthusiasm, but was missing a disc - Thelma Lane - Edgewood, MD United States
I absolutely love curb your enthusiasm, but when the time came to watch the 2nd disc it was not there. I know I should have checked from the beginning, but inside the case there is a still photo of Larry David and I thought that was the disc. I'm sure this had nothing to do with Amazon but the company who sent it to me ( I don't remember the company) has some explaining to do.
