Critic Reviews

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

Who else but Larry David could have imagined that a "Curb" largely without the glorious Cheryl Hines could conceivably be funnier? Or that her absence might work as a comedic plot foil for one of its major story arcs? He did, and that's genius.

Watching Jerry, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards bounce off Larry David makes you realize what Curb had been missing: worthy opponents for Larry to argue and scheme with.

As twisted, and twistedly funny, as ever.

Now entering another wince-inducing season, Larry David proves again that he can mine gold over and over from the same idea.

Larry David's sitcom remains an awe-inspiring (and hilarious) exercise in comedic extremes of chaos and control.

An insanely funny romp thanks to its unique storytelling technique and an inspired performance by the star. [15 Oct 2000]

With this delightful and boldly distinctive new series, the co-creator of "Seinfeld" has managed to accomplish two seemingly impossible things at once: He has given HBO its best sitcom since "The Larry Sanders Show," and given all of television the best sitcom since "Seinfeld." [13 Oct 2000]

The most original and audacious comedy on TV right now. [13 Sep 2002]

I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is funnier, smarter and classier than Seinfeld. [13 Sep 2002]
