Larry reminds me of my brother (who is really a nice guy) but has some of the irritating habits that Larry has; the funny thing is he doesn't see any of these traits in himself. I recently bought him one of the early DVDs of Curb and watched it with him and he was hysterically laughing at Larry's inappropriate remarks while I was secretly laughing at my brother. Please don't ever stop being a sweet jerk. Marilyn Molnar, Valley Village, CA

When my son was a teenager, we spent "quality time" watching Seinfeld reruns. Now, when he is home, we watch Curb.... Two things we at least agreed on!

"I am Larry David"! Really I am! Though in another body. Thats why I can relate to the show so easily. It's nice seeing someone be, who you are. In most of the sitcoms, I can predict without knowing exactly what he will do next. Of course I really never knew how annoying I really am, until I saw it on "Curb Your Enthusiasm". I love it!! The best there is. Wish i could do a story line for the show!
