The concept for the show which sees David playing himself as he attempts to undertake various creative projects, while frequently landing in hugely entertaining trouble wherever he turns was highly original when CURB first aired. But by the time the Fourth Season aired, imitators were waiting in the wings, as celebrities such as Kirsty Alley (FAT ACTRESS) and Lisa Kudrow (THE COMEBACK) honed their own, similar shows. Undeterred, David manages to breath new life into the formula, even producing one of the best episodes yet in 'The Car Pool Lane'. Incredibly, this episode, which saw the beleaguered star attending a Dodgers game with a prostitute so he could travel in the car-pool lane, ended up overlapping with a real-life court case. The CURB team caught a murder suspect, Juan Catalan, on camera during the game, with their footage eventually proving his innocence in the case. One of the main themes of the show involves David's attempts to avoid tension at all costs while unwittingly landing himself in it, making the incident enjoyably ironic. Further adventures see our hapless hero attempting to buy medicinal marijuana and attending Ben Stiller's birthday, while his long-suffering wife Cheryl Hines and manager Jeff Garlin reach new levels of exasperation at David's behaviour. This Season is tied together by a long-running plot which sees David preparing for a role in a Broadway production of THE PRODUCERS, with the final episode shot on opening-night in New York City. Providing a deliciously funny climax to David's fourth series of adventures, fans of the show will no doubt be delighted to know that nothing goes according to plan.

The icing on the cake is the lack of canned laughter. Review ID: 10000000006152314 Was this review helpful? Report this review Is this series good? Is it? Is it really? Is it really pretty good?

I knew that this DVD was going to be witty, hilarious and enjoyable and I wasn't disappointed! The day-to-day woes of Larry David as his good intentions inevitably lead to disaster are a joy to watch. The dialogue is excellent but even the mannerisms and acting help contribute to the humour. If you haven't seen any of these series, do yourself a favour and buy one now but be careful if you have delicate sides as they may well split - Roll on series 5!!!
