The cover art for HBO's comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Fifth Season implies that the series' star Larry David is Everyman. Larry is not Everyman; in fact, he is far from it. Somewhat of an amalgam of the Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer characters he co-created for Seinfeld, yet so uniquely Larry, his socially inept behavior is the basis for and the best part of the show. This fifth season holds no exceptions to the world oblivious to social graces that is Larry David's. Larry tackles some tough issues, his main conundrum being the fact that his close friend Richard Lewis (comedian Richard Lewis playing himself) needs a new kidney. Season 5 slants towards Larry's soul searching: will he take the donor test? Is he a match? What will he do if he is a match? We see how far Larry will go to help his friend in need: staging car accidents, fake marriages, and more. We think we see some depth to Larry when he suspects he may be adopted and cheerfully embarks on a search to find his 'real' parents, but are reminded how things really are, when he throws morality out the window, striking up a friendship with the known sexual predator in the neighborhood in order to improve his golf game. Of course there is the very Seinfeld feel to this show in general, the tone, the self-involved lead character--and in the first few episodes there are actual storylines and even spoken lines taken almost verbatim from Seinfeld episodes, so much so that an avid Seinfeld fan may start to lose patience.Stick with it, though, because the Seinfeld-ian similarities wind down through the second half of the season and the Curb your Enthusiasm hilarity revs up. --Rachel Moss
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Don't curb your enthusiasm
I would highly reccommend this show to anyone who is a Seinfeld fan. This was the first season that I started watching "Curb" and it made me go back and buy the first four seasons. You will not be dissapointed.
Rating: - great adult humor
I'm a huge fan of the series...enjoyed it immensely...would highly recommend it to others that are into "adult" humor.
Rating: - Love Larry David
This is very funny.And well worth the money especially if you don't have HBO.
Rating: - The definition of situational comedy
If you enjoyed seasons 1-4, there's no reason to stop there.Larry and the crew provide more laughs than one thought possible.The low point of the season may be the goofy season finale, but at the same time, it makes sense they would do what they did and it is in fact, quite comical.In contrast, I think that Kamikaze Bingo may be the highlight of the series.Between wishing for a man in a coma to die, being angry that his sandwich has capers, and accusing "you people" of being to loud and obnoxious, ...

Rating: - Curb - Season Five
Curb Your Enthusiasm from Season One to Season Six has just been too funny.We usually watch two shows in sequence and find ourselves begging Larry not "to do that" or "don't go there, Larry."Great entertainment but you have to be tolerant about the language.
