Sorry for bouncing this old thread but I wish to change my vote. I said (above) that I'd dipped in and out of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and was a bit 'meh' about it. I was wrong. So, so wrong. My wife said she'd like to watch it, so we started from Season 1 Episode 1. We're only on season 2 but I've seen enough to say that it is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I realise now that Larry David being a complete arse, ether wittingly or unwittingly, is a main part of it, and not a slightly irritating bit of schtick which I'd thought before. I absolutely wet myself watching the episode where the funeral announcement for the aunt called her a 'beloved ****'.
I hope the quality can be maintained through the remaining seasons.
