Doug Elfman

"Curb" may be ridiculously silly, but, unlike "Extras," its shenanigans are inventive. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

Remains bracingly rude and funny. Read full review

Dana Stevens

A return to classic form. Read full review

Ray Richmond

The show gets back to where it belongs: under Larry's expansive roof and inside his incessantly neurotic, disgracefully tactless and unerringly heartless skin. Read full review

Gillian Flynn

It's a testament to Curb's cleverness that what's now rote--Larry offends, we cringe--can still be so surprising. Read full review

Just what I needed for my Seinfield withdrawal! Now we know the real source of quirkiness that made Seinfield among the best sitcoms of all time.

Now we know the real source of quirkiness that made Seinfield among the best sitcoms of all time. Larry David is George Costanza at his "anal retentive" best. This show is about "something." In each episode David reacts to the insignificant events of life as we really experience them: they aggravate us to the point we believe we are one of the few sane people left in the world. Good quality T.V.!… Expand

It's the best television show of all time. A disturbing, hilarious journey into the empty heart of an alienated everyman as he explores the dark fears and anxieties of his privileged life. It's the sit-com grown up and shaped into art of the highest order.

Another quality season. Seinfeld on steroids. Everything is so applicable to daily life! Larry and Richard Lewis' interactions are heartfelt but still sidesplittingly funny.

Is anyone more annoying than Larry David? I've been repeatedly told how great this show is, and have dutifully tried to watch it more than once. By the 5th season the neurosis is a eye-poking out levels. Most of the time I wanted to hit Larry David than have to spend one more second watchingIs anyone more annoying than Larry David?
