• I never really watched Seinfield but I love Larry David’s show Curb Your Enthusiasm.
  • Larry plays a semi-fictional version of himself. Basically the show consists of Larry walking around LA in baggy clothes and finding himself at the center of everyone’s problems.
    • Some issues are a result of Larry’s good intentions. Most are a result of Larry’s seemingly unending grumpiness or annoyance of all things petty.
    • But what makes viewers empathetic towards Larry is that he actually cares about the people around him.
    • In the most recent episode to my memory, Larry visits a masseuse recommended by his friend Jeff Green (played by Jeff Garlin). Larry ends the massage when the masseuse goes a little too far and after confronting Jeff about the unexpected unhappy ending of the massage referral, Larry decides not to tell his remarkably patient TV-wife Cheryl David, played by Cheryl Hines, because he “stopped it”. However, Larry once again finds himself in trouble when Cheryl confronts the masseuse after being tipped off by her fortune teller.
  • By far my favorite thing is when Larry is in his own world and the only view we get into this world is in tongues or a sweet melody.
