Impressive run
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" is more of a testament to Larry David's privilege, stamina, and endurance during its span of 24 years. Coming off the heels of his "Seinfeld" success in the late 90s, it's as if he is given a playground by HBO, and he sure makes the most of it. The episodes here overall are not quite as tight as the "Seinfeld" productions. We see more improv and stream of consciousness type of comedy, hence many jokes do not land as well as they should. When the episode is good though, it is as good as the best "Seinfeld" episode, or should I even dare to say it's better? Such is the case of "The Doll" (season 2,episode 7). If you like "Seinfeld" and appreciate Larry David, do yourself a favor and watch this gem of an episode, as it is perfect in every way. I just hope throughout that I would see more episodes like that, but no, it's a rarity. Nevertheless, it is cool to see Larry David aging another 24 years with the same snotty vibrance and vitality that doesn't seem to fade away.
