Pretty, pretty, pretty....pretty good.

Superior to Seinfeld. No laugh tracks, no Jerry Seinfeld. Susie Essman's verbal tirades are amazing and Larry David's unending conflict with the human race is highly amusing.

It's better than Seinfeld, eat my ass.

The color of my soul is Larry David

One of the joys of Seinfeld was its gleeful nihilism bursting through the walls of network sitcom formula. Curb being on HBO dilutes that feeling of subversion, but it also allows for the tasteless brilliance of Beloved Cunt and Larry hitting on women at an incest survivor's meeting. It's also the incredibly rare show where the late supporting cast additions (Leon, Funkhouser) become the best parts of the series. Get up in that ass, Larry!

It's like Seinfeld on steroids...how could I not love it? Seinfeld co-creator Larry David does a wonderful job of playing a (hopefully) exaggerated version of himself, where he gets into the most awkward situations, usually brought on by his own interference and stubbornness. It's pretty.......pretty......pretty good! I sometimes see myself acting the same way he would in a situation. Wait, am I the asshole here? No, no, no, that's not possible. It's definitely the other person. I'm never wrong.

I've shed more tears during this than any other TV show.

Larry David is maybe the world's foremost comedic genius. There's so much here that's fantastic. That said, the improv nature of the show means a lot of the show is sort of "down time" that's mildly amusing and serving just to set up comedy later in the episode. So it doesn't pack the same punch as Seinfeld. Still, I think it's must-watch for any Seinfeld fan.

I think I even liked it more than Seinfeld. The best sitcom of all times, in my opinion.

This might be a project as audacious as John Rawls' 'A Theory of Justice' pondering on the principles and limits of a 'liberal' society. Larry's improvised documentary/dogma aesthetics allows it to be an exploration of real-life social settings and institutions which becomes a fundamental questioning of the latter. As a 'social assassin' Larry unveils the hypocrisies and absurdities of this self-confidently liberal society and shows that a less PC society might be 'just' and 'desirable' as well.

I recently rewatched S1 before watching the last season and it's interesting to see how much the show has evolved (or hasn't). I prefer the less provocative Larry of the early seasons, but either way, like in Seinfeld, the real Larry has crafted many a contrived tales that are hilarious, not enraging, that often overlap and culminate in brilliantly amusing ways. Surrounded by many great characters, Larry is a misanthropic icon of this side of the millennium.

I've been watching a lot of this recently and I have to say, it's such an authentic program about life, trading in the same kind of awkward comedy as plenty of inferior shows, but doing it in such an honest and funny way that it's impossible to dislike. As much as I love Seinfeld, some of the more dated elements mark it as being a show made by and for an earlier generation, whereas this feels very contemporary in terms of blurring the line between entertainment and reality.

"you sick fuck Larry David"

Suffice to say I love this bald headed asshole. There's a little bit of Larry in all of us and for me he is my jewish spirit animal. Larry's unique eye for setting up the punchline far in advance, then taking you on a journey of over the top interactions to arrive to it is as customary as the sound of the tubas that follow. I especially enjoy watching Susie berate Larry. She is the cherry on top, but obviously everyone is fantastic. Weide and Charles are by far the best directors on the show.

Larry David is my spirit animal.

I really think Larry made this show just to let the world know he was the genius behind Seinfeld. It's not quite as good as Seinfeld but it has moments that are equally as good and Larry is so fucking deranged that it's hard not to laugh at and with him. It's an amazing show with that cyclical nature that Seinfeld has but to say this is superior to Seinfeld is just ignorant. While Seinfeld is a cultural phenomenon that is still quoted to this day, Curb hilarious but not nearly as relevant

The improvisational nature means it occasionally falters when pitted against the perfect plotting of Seinfeld, but Larry and his cast are too funny and too talented for that to be a major mark against it.

Toe-curlingly hilarious. Peaked in its first 5 seasons for me and probably had a couple seasons too many, but not really to it's detriment.

wish rated+noted closer to when finished it lol. love seeing seinfeld with george as the main character. love his piece of shit cascading faults, situations, and callbacks. great recurring characters, in and out, and even less used ones. thought that was his real wife at first cuz i forgot and she was so great lmao. glad he finally ended with a realistic romance for once but the finale shoulda been an hour long special of him fucking jeff's wife, most of that time complaining before and after.

S01~S09-92 S10-89 S11-80 S12-81

[through season 12]

Sometimes it's the best comedy around, sometimes it's a manchild being insufferable. Incredible to think I've been watching this show for over 20 years and still enjoy it. Glad it ended on its own terms. I'll miss it, but I think it was time. Ending it all on a spite finale was the perfect touch.

Season 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11

Somehow keeps getting better

It's a little too Roadrunner x Coyote predictable after awhile, and kind of demoralizing, but also admittedly has really hilariously horrific cringe moments that are incredibly real and painfully great.

☆ Ah yes. It's just... so awkward. And I know that's the point! He's such an ass the whole show, but there are some real golden moments that makes it so iconic. ☆

It's incredible how Larry can keep up the quality on each season, unbelievable good

Saw this at my friend's house. Didn't like this show...It's all non sensical dialogue. 1 episode he puts trash in another person's garbage can, the person complains that he can't do that arguing with him...Which that person is right to complain. Anyways it goes on for like the entire episode of why he should be able to throw that in the other person's trash can. After like 2-3 min I get his point..I feel it's wasting my time and effort cuz they drag this on for the entire show.

hilariously funny and vulgar

season9 - old rich navel-gazing person behaving like 9yo spoiled child, seeking to make controversies and polemics where there is not, (often at the expense of minor employees) and then acting and resolving them like 9yo. (Is it scone or muffin, is this chair comfortable or not?) Larry and the unbelievably rancid and vapid nothingness in his selfsegregated world. The fake impertinence at his best - because he said "nice to meet you" to a soldier instead of "thank you for your service" !!!

Seen through which season?

Season 05

s4: 90 // s5: 80 // s6: 70

great series

Woody Allen é um neurótico amador perto de Larry David.

A fun show I never really could get into, due to Larry being too much of a douchebag. This should however be prerequisite viewing for people praising the originality of Klovn, which has stolen almost everything from Curb. (season 1)

Definitely enjoy it, though I can't call it a full-blown all-time favorite. It has some of my favorite individual comedy SCENES ever, to be certain, moments that made me double over with laughter, but I feel like I could show someone just a 3-4 hour cut of the show's best moments in a Youtube compilation and they'd get 99% of the benefit of actually watching the entire series. Classic, brilliant comedic moments, thin show between them.

Funny program.

Very well done, and Seinfeld fans should have fan, but after several seasons, I just couldn't watch it anymore. The ludicrous overreactions to this asshole were too much for me to stomach.
