Very Funny Tv Shows That Are Actually On Cable These Days

By Kelly Ruiz

Awesome, nominated for something like 20 Emmys as well as winner of a Golden Globe for Best Tv Series Musical or Comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm is among the most clever and entertaining shows on television. This HBO original series is the creation of Seinfeld co-creator and writer Larry David, whose life maintains a odd similarity to the quasi-fictional George Costanza.

Just like George Costanza and his neurotically-low self-esteem (we.e. "God does not want me to be successful), Curb Your Enthusiasm advances a Murphy's Law theme associated with "what can go wrong will go wrong". It's a true-to-life reality show about nothing in which each and every episode is certain to cause comedy enthusiasts everywhere in order to tremble in enthusiastic anticipation.

Curb Your Enthusiasm centers around the actual lifetime of Larry David - post-Seinfeld and living the actual high life in LA. Exactly like Larry's other successful TV venture, the actual show does not focus completely on plot, instead of following a mundane as well as routine adventures of a famous Hollywood expert. Just like their alter-ego George Constanza, Larry frequently witnesses simple acts and actions on his part grow out of control in to a series of misunderstandings as well as embarrassing situations.

Accompanying Larry on his daily adventures is his wife Cheryl played by Cheryl Hines and his manager Jeff Greene played by Jeff Garlin as well as a host associated with Hollywood and Broadway celebrities that make regular guest appearances... Blurring the line between fictional and reality, Curb Your Enthusiasm is the perfect follow up to Seinfeld. To put it succinctly, it is a glimpse of what would have been had Jerry and George's initial been picked up by NBC, that ultimately raises the query - that wouldn't love a show about a guy sentenced to be another man's servant?...

Check it out, The Curb Your Enthusiasm DVD features a wide variety of comical episodes such as the season premiere "The Pants Tent" in which Larry's khakis inadvertently bunch together to produce a "pants tent". This innocent natural wonder becomes the origin of enmity in between Larry and his wife's good friend Nancy. The girlfriend of Larry's new buddy Richard Lewis can also be offended through the event.

In the mean time, Larry's problems grow when he calls Jeff and refers to his spouse as "Hitler," unaware of the truth that Jeff's parents are hearing everything on the speaker-phone... Additional notable episodes from season one include "The Bracelet" through which Larry spends an entire day trying to purchase a bracelet for Cheryl as a direct consequence of a fight they had, and also "The Group" in which Cheryl gets jealous when Larry's voluptuous ex-girlfriend Lucy bumps in to the couple. - 42265
