Throughout Curb Your Enthusiasm's fifth season, HBO's master of passive-aggression went in search of his roots. In the sixth, Larry returns to his old tricks--to the relief of fans who felt the show was losing its way. As usual, most scenarios revolve around problems unique to neurotic millionaires. Larry's voice of reason, wife Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), continues to save him from himself (when she can). This time, the 10-episode arc turns to Roots when the Davids take in the Blacks, a family of African-American hurricane evacuees, including Loretta (Vivica A. Fox) and her brother, Leon (an uproariously profane J.B. Smoove). Naturally, "L.D." offends other groups along the way, like an Asian gentleman ("The Anonymous Donor"), a chemotherapy patient ("The Lefty Call"), a deaf woman ("The Rat Dog"), and tennis-player-turned-comedian John McEnroe, a group unto himself ("The Freak Book"). During the year, Larry also tangles with an X-rated dessert, an unsympathetic senator (Rep. Barbara Boxer as herself), an inebriated chauffeur (Toby Huss), the infinite superiority of Ted Danson, and the usual games of one-upmanship with Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin), Richard Lewis (himself) and Marty Funkhouser (Bob "Super Dave" Einstein, brother of director Albert Brooks). Since Curb Your Enthusiasm takes its inspiration from David's real life, the big news arrives when Cheryl, a character based on environmental activist Laurie David, walks out on him. Then their friends pick sides. Thereafter, things really start to go downhill, resulting in some of Larry's funniest faux pas ever--until R&B vocalist John Legend steps in to save the day. Not literally, but his soulful singing sets the scene for the surprisingly sweet finale. Extra features include a live conversation between David and Susie Essman, a sixth year featurette ("On the Set"), and a gag reel. --Kathleen C. Fennessy |

Curb season 6 |
|
Larry David is back with full force in the latest season of CYE. I am a HUGE Curb fan and enjoyed season 6, however, it was definitely the most over the top of all 6 seasons and so a first time viewer may find it just TOO insane. I found it a litte predictable at times but still enjoyed every minute. I actually began to side with Larry as opposed to Cheryl... which is odd. Lets face it, Larry David is the crazy, neurotic madman we all harbour a little of. I loved the finale (a rare poignant moment) and hope a season 7 comes about. Love your guts Larry! |

He's back! |
|
After a pretty lame and unfunny season 5, I thought LD had lost it, but he is back on track with season 6. The season starts really strong with their adoption of the Blacks, a homeless family and goes on from there. Where season 6 was tacky, this is really biting and cutting-edge stuff once again from Larry David. Great. |

Not Larry's best work |
The comedy is more forced than in previous seasons; however, Larry David's mediocre efforts still bring more laughs than most situation comedies.
Buy it. |

Australian View |
Recently recieved in the mail from Americancivilwar the sixth season of Curb. My family watched the ten episodes in about five days. This sixth season is about on the same level as all the other seasons. If you are a regular viewer of this show, you know what I mean. Larry gets himself into all sorts of trouble without any effort. If only he would just shut his mouth when he gets a little bit upset, if only he would walk away, if only he would think ahead just a little bit, - but then, we wouldn't perhaps cringe as much, or laugh as much.
Its, sometimes, a very uncomfortable show to watch, Larry seems to do everything possible to upset his family and friends, but other times you find you are on Larry's side, fighting with him, trying to right all the unusual stuff that happens to him.
As a aussie who loved this show from its beginnings, I have had to import the last couple of seasons because of the dreadful timeslot the program had, near midnight on sundays, if at all.
If you are a fan, dont mess around, buy this sixth season. After all, maybe there might not be a seventh.
And thanks to Americancivilwar for the exellent service that I always receive with my orders.

If you are warped and liked The Far Side, this is for you. |

David explores the minefield that political correctness has planted for us. He is honest and likes to cut corners that seem reasonable at the time. Jeff's wife is the best. Since women's liberation, the out-of-control-flaming-bitch has slipped out of favor. David gets scorched like a marshmallow regularly. |
