Ĭurb Your Enthusiasm has received high critical acclaim, and has grown in popularity since its debut. The series, however, is not shot as a mockumentary, but is shot in a somewhat similar, cinéma vérité-like style. The special was shot as a mockumentary, where the characters were aware of the presence of cameras and a crew. The series was developed from a 1999 one-hour special, Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, which David and HBO originally envisioned as a one-time project. Each episode's plot and subplot is established in an outline written by David, and the dialogue is largely improvised by the actors (a technique known as retroscripting). Larry is also routinely the victim of labyrinthine misunderstandings. This social ineptitude, combined with his inability to let even the most minor grievance or annoyance go unexpressed, often leads David into awkward social situations and draws the ire of his friends, family, and total strangers. Episodes frequently center on Larry's ignorance of or disregard for well-established social conventions and expectations, as well as his insistence that others adhere to rules of which only he seems to be aware. Curb Your Enthusiasm often features guest stars, many of them playing fictionalized versions of themselves.Īs with Seinfeld, which David co-created, the humor of Curb Your Enthusiasm often revolves around the minutiae of American daily social life. Also starring are Cheryl Hines as his wife Cheryl, Jeff Garlin as his manager and best friend Jeff Greene, and Susie Essman as Jeff's wife Susie. The series follows Larry in his life as a semi-retired television writer and producer in Los Angeles, and for one season, New York City. The series was created by Larry David, who stars as a semi-fictionalized version of himself. The eleventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm returns to screens on Sunday.Curb Your Enthusiasm is an American television sitcom that has been produced and broadcast by HBO since October 15, 2000.

"I'm getting closer and closer to TV Larry, this particular person you're talking to. When asked what the post-pandemic world is like as portrayed in the new season, David responded: "Very chaotic, and I cause a lot of problems for people. So everyone's living normally in California, like I hope they are in the next few months or like people have been living in Florida for the last three years," joked Schaffer. So we treated it as if there has been a pandemic, but it's behind us.
"We were sort of optimistic for once in our lives and hoped that the pandemic would basically be in the rearview mirror. The Emmy-winning HBO comedy series revolves around the indignities of day-to-day life experienced by David's oft-annoyed but well-meaning character.Įxecutive producer Jeff Schaffer, who also worked with David on the Seinfeld sitcom, said the decision to set the show in a post-pandemic world came from a hopeful place. I don't think people would enjoy it as much so I'm going to play it close to the vest and just say that I hope it's funny," David told Reuters after walking the red carpet at Hollywood's Paramount Studios.
