SERIES’ SYNOPSIS
This iconic Emmy and Golden Globe winning semi-improvised comedy series stars creator Larry David as an over-the-top, self-absorbed version of himself who finds himself who finds endless ways to make a mess of his pretty, pretty good life. Offering a tongue-in-cheek depiction of the writer/producer/comedian’s fictionalized world and friends, Curb Your Enthusiasm follows Larry’s awkward everyday encounters, social missteps and knack for turning mundane situations into chaotic disasters, often leading to hilariously uncomfortable situations.

VIDEO – 4¼/5, AUDIO – 3½/5
Curb Your Enthusiasm comes to DVD with seasons 1-6 in 1.33 AR and 7-12 in 1.78. Given this is a very light-hearted comedy series the picture of course is generally bright and sarcastically cheerful. Every episode comes with standard Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks.
