Curb Your Enthusiasm is a show on, the Premium Cable channel, Hbo created by and Stars Larry David, David also was one of the creators and writers of the hit Tv series Seinfeld. The show first aired in 2000 and ended in 2011, of course i have all the seasons on dvd. The last series featured all of the characters from Seinfled, sort of like a reunion.
What is unique about the show is that it stars Larry David and focuses on his daily encounters and mishaps. One of my favorite parts of the show is that there are other real celebrities playing themselves to make the show as realistic as possible and portray David's life accurately.
The show is hilarious, Larry is constantly getting into mishaps and weird experiences. But what makes the show truly unique is hat the show is mostly improvised to make the show even more realistic.
Hilliard says, "Script preparation begins with a summary or an outline...The outline, or summary, is a short overview of the script, written in narrative form. The treatment or scenario is a more detailed chronological rundown of the prospective script giving information on the setting, plot, and characters, and sometimes examples of dialogues." (50).
When shooting Curb You Enthusiasm, there is no real script. There is planned dialogue occasionally but the writers give the actors the story board, treatment, and a summary of what needs to happen during that scene. Improvisation makes Curb Your Enthusiasm a great comedy show. Not to mention, Larry David is a great writer and hilarious.
