Leon suffered a case of mistaken identity, Larry helps women in abusive relationships, Richard Lewis is an artist involved with burlesque.
Each half hour episode of Curb Your enthusiasm verité style features images of David (playing himself) at home, at work and in the city as it gets into trouble with fiction and real life personalities. With regular cast Jeff Garlin (Jeff Greene as director) and Cheryl Hines (as wife Cheryl) reprising their roles, the series features appearances by guest celebrities playing themselves or character roles.
Sincere, generous and self-deprecating, Curb Your Enthusiasm brings the off-center vision comic Larry David, co-creator and co-executive producer of one of the most lauded comedy series in television history, Seinfeld to HBO. The series blurs the lines between reality and fiction, as David (playing himself) and a cast of real and fictional characters are followed by Los Angeles by a ubiquitous camera that chronicles the private worlds, often banal of a man ( relatively) public.
Having evolved from the 1999 HBO special Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, the series demonstrates how seemingly trivial details of their daily life-a trip to the movies, a phone call, a visit some-trick -or-treating can precipitate a "Murphy's Law" chain of misfortune to hilarious effect. Like George Costanza on Seinfeld, the protagonist of Curb Your Enthusiasm has a knack for getting into uncomfortable situations that end up alienating him from peers and acquaintances. To keep the narrative fresh and spontaneous, Curb Your Enthusiasm is shot without a script, the cast gives describes the scene and often improvise lines as they go. The result is an unpredictable format that is unlike anything else on television.
