I've never seen this show either, but also hear that it is very funny. I've seen previews for it, but don't even know when it's on. I should check it out.

CYE is my favorite show on tv. If you like Seinfeld, you'll like CYE. I own the first 3 seasons on DVD.

The star of the show is Larry David, the co-creator of Seinfeld. He plays himself but the other main characters are ficticous (his wife and his manager). The show is basically about all of the misunderstandings that happen in his life, and how people get pissed off at him. What makes CYE so different is that there is no script, it's all improvised.

I also own the first 3 seasons on DVD. I would have to say this and the OC are the best shows on tv right now....

This show is like seinfeld except better, because there is swearing and nudity, so therefore its more realistic, and the situations are more realistic as well.

Thanks Freddie C & SicilianMafia. I'm gonna try to find time this weekend to watch at least half of season 1 and see how I like it. I'll try to let you guys know next week what I thought of it.

My friend let me borrow the first season of CYE. It is so funny. I think Larry David is a genius. My friend has the first 4 seasons on DVD and said they get better and better.

David is so neurotic and so obsessively compulsive on this show. It's a bit premature, but I think I may be liking this show more than Seinfeld when it's all said and done. It's certainly funnier than anything I've seen on tv since Seinfeld went off the air.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best Comedy show on TV, while Sopranos is the all out best.

I have seasons 1-4 on DVD. They are really, really, great. It honestly is just as good, if not better than Seinfeld. One reason, Larry David. I like him as a character so much more than any Seinfeld character. He's really too good at what he does.

I couldn't agree more DonFerro. I loved the "Porno Gil" episode as well as well as the one where he was arguing with the parking attendants while going to appointments at his doctor's & lawyer's offices.

I can't wait to see the other seasons.

I've only seen a couple of episodes; the most memorable with Kevin Nash the wrestler. It's outrageously funny, but, I may say, an acquired taste...? Who knows, but I was actually planning on investing in the boxset.

Capo- Season Two is by far the best if you want to ease into buying every set.

It may well be, but I'd never watch a series backwards, or haphazardly. If I make a buy, it would have to be from the start. And the boxsets have been going very cheap lately over here.

I love this show! I started watching reruns on HBO (which are on every night at 6:30 & 10, CDT) and now I even got my parents watching it. Does anybody know anything about the next season? I know they're on hiatus right now, but I imagine they would have a new season coming up here some day..

You're lucky. Over here, they run about $40 a set.

Starting from the beginning is the best by far. Every episode stands on its own, but there are a few smaller subplots, mannerisms, etc that are better if youve seen them in order.
TIP: On the first seasons special features there is the hour long pilot episode. Watch that before any of the actual seasons episodes
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TIP: Change "If I make a buy" in your post to "When I buy it". You wont regret it

I like the show!

the show is as good as Seinfeld but I believe that Seinfeld was way better... because of Kramer

Post after you watch the "Porno Gil" and the one where L. David's wife's aunt dies. Those are the best episodes from Season 1 IMO.

OC has gotten so bad it should be taken off the air. They regurgitate the same plots over and over. Im so sick of it. It was only good season 1.

And yes, Curb is...(besides sopranos) the best show on TV. The best episode ever would have to be in season 3 - club soda and salt.

Really? I didn't care for that one as much as some of others. The one that had me doubled over laughing was "Thor." I loved the whole ass fetish thing and LD's confrontation with Thor.

I watched all of season one in two sittings, six episodes last night, four this morning as soon as I woke up. Admittedly haven't watched the hour-long pilot yet, but will before darkness comes round again.

"Porno Gil" was absolutely brilliant. Every episode was brilliant, but that one just had me dangerously creased.

here is a post of mine from almost 4 years ago trying to turn the board on to curb.

Anyone catch the begining this past Sunday with Larry David in a Mob flick directed by Scorsese.
It was great althought the rest of the show was not as funny as it usually is.

BTW - If you have'nt watched this show I highly recommend it. It is very funny and it is on right after the Sopranos.

Yeah, I was reading the back of one of the boxsets today (I'm gonna buy them soon enough), and saw Scorsese's name mentioned. Which season is that?

Season Three has Marty

BTW Porno Gil is a scream.

I think it is almost impossible to explain a plotline to an episode. You can't. You just gotta watch it

"Beloved Aunt" is the penultimate episode of season one. Incredibly funny. I loved the one in which he doesn't tip the captain.

Are there more guest appearances as the seasons progress? I was under the assumption, before viewing season one, that there was a different one every episode.
