For those who don't know larry david co-creator of seinfeld based the “george” character on himself. If like me you own all seinfeld dvd's you will see in a number of interviews with larry david he is so like george it's not funny.
Larry is similar to “Basil Fawlty” from fawlty towers in that he just goes about things the wrong way, many cringe moments and out loud laughter.
If you enjoyed “george” and his crazy thinking this is a must watch.
At first I thought this show was a bit lame, but after watching it on TV I discovered it was very very funny.
Larry seems to run into problems everywhere he goes. He gets into verbal fights with random people, and can never avoid tragedy. He doesn't get along with most people, which usally causes probelms for him. Basicly he's a total Jackass, but its funny :)
The characters are great, and the story lines couldn't be better.
The unfortunate timing of events for this poor “schlep” lead to funny scenes, and you'd have sympathy for him EXCEPT for the fact that he can't seem to stop undermining himself as well. Sometimes likeable, sometimes a curmudgeon, I think this first season was just about making the idea work. Although funny, a lot of the episodes end abruptly and left me with a sense that they just couldn't wrap up all the bits nicely, but ran out of time. IF you're a fan of the show like me, you'd have to have this DVD for a complete collection. If you want one season out of the six, this wouldn't be the season I recommend to a newbie.
He's got it all: a loving wife, good friends, a successful career, a great home..what could possibly go wrong for Larry David? Seinfeld co-creator Larry David stars as himself in this hilarious, off-kilter comedy series that presents an unflinching, self-depreciating depiction of his life
