Curb Your Enthisiasm Seasons 1-6 Mar 09, 2010 Great product, arrived very fast, I thought that the price was OK for 6 seasons.
Larry David is a Big Bowl of Awesome Mar 08, 2010 To say that Curb Your Enthusiasm is genius is like saying the sky is blue. The studies of the human character and the idiotic situations we put ourselves through as a culture in America are shown here in full and without remorse. The character "Larry David" does everything wrong, but he has his reasons. Most of the time his actions aren't noble and no matter what they harm someone, but Larry usually gets his comeuppance in the end.
I'll concede that the show is a bit formulaic, but there are still many surprises to be had. To me, the ultimate episode of Curb has to be "The Doll", (S2Ep7). By this time the show had really hit its stride, and this episode shows how well the formula works. Even the smallest, most innocuous details are important to the plot. The key to the biggest laugh in this episode is a simple plastic water bottle. You have to see it to believe it.
Curb is worth every cent and definitely worth your time. The collections themselves are light on extras with the exception of Seasons 5 and 6 which bring in some bloopers and interviews, but I'd venture to guess there really isn't much to be had behind the scenes of the show. If you're interested in that, cue up this YouTube video of Ricky Gervais interviewing Larry David, but NOT BEFORE you finish watching the series (http://bit.ly/RGvsLD). Spoilers abound!
Be prepared to laugh, to cringe, and to be shocked at the lenghts Larry goes to. Not for the faint of heart or easily offended, as every subject is fair play.
It's a winner Mar 03, 2010 If you are a fan of Larry David, then you will love this DVD set.

Defective Disc Feb 10, 2010 Disc 1, Series 1 was defective and will not play (the other 11 are fine). Unfortunately I didn't try the DVD and thus did not discover this problem until after the Amazon return deadline had expired. Amazon Returns suggested I contact the manufacturer (HBO) since DVD's should have a 1 Yr. warranty. I did this however HBO will not replace the disc because it was not purchased directly from them.
Moral of the story: If you order a DVD from Amazon, check that it works immediately, even if you do not have time to watch the entire performance.

movie Feb 02, 2010 this set was wonderful. My son got these for Christmas, and it was close on the shipping, my fault, not theirs and I still got in plenty of time. He loves them...nothing fancy, but the disc were good.
