"HEY! Asshole!!"
“Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Larry David’s Kramer-free HBO sitcom, is soooo much better than his earlier creation, “Seinfeld.” It troubles me how much funnier sitcom dialogue gets when it’s improvised. (The late, great Fox college comedy “Undeclared” used the same improvisational technique to even more hilarious effect.)
10 p.m. Sunday. HBO.
Larry David returns for a third season of abrasive humor and inappropriate behavior. The fun begins when Larry, the co-creator of Seinfeld and inspiration for the character George Costanza, decides to join his manager (Jeff Garlin) in opening a new restaurant. The other investors include actors Ted Danson and Michael York, who don't find their new partner's ideas particularly appetizing. Later, at a birthday party for Danson's daughter, Larry is nearly maimed in a piñata accident, which leads to an uncomfortable emergency visit to his former dentist. Finally, a grieving widow (Caroline Aaron) becomes hysterical at the sight of Larry's wardrobe. Cheryl: Cheryl Hines.
Good as "Curb" has been, this 10-episode season should be the year it gets recognized as HBO's finest comedy. … Series has consistently had the finest closing moments in television and this year is no different
