Product Description Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)Money. Security. Famous friends. Forgiving wife. Devoted agent. Larry David has it all--except, perhaps, his identity. HBO presents Season Five of the Emmy(R)-winning comedy series that stars Larry David...as Larry David. Each episode features verite-style footage of Larry at home, at work and around town (L.A.), as he lands himself in various predicaments with fictional and real-life personalities. In Season Five, a near-death experience, a revelation about his father and a sandwich named after him prompt Larry to undertake a sentimental journey in search of his roots...and step on a few toes along the way.]]> desertcart.com 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 Review: Loved it. Best season ever? - I find it odd that some posters say this is not a good season...I totally disagree. I find that the later seasons are better than the early ones for this series. In the first few seasons, the level of altercations that Larry got himself into, and the manic quality of Richard Lewis, really kind of grated on my nerves. Suzie, as well. There were just some episodes that seemed to have too much screaming all around for my nerves. This season is mellower overall, and in my opinion, as entertaining, if not more so, than the previous seasons. I would venture to say it is best season ever, although I missed season 4, so I can't actually say that. This season has all the charm and laughs and quirkiness, less of the screaming. The Jewish/Christian humor is a major theme of this season, and the episode featuring Larry's trip to an imagined heaven, and his trip to his Christian birth parents, were absolutely laugh out loud hysterical. There are some nice cameos by Dustin Hoffman and Sascha Baron Cohen (Borat), and Bea Arthur, as Larry's deceased mother. I also thought the episode where Larry pretends to be an Orthodox Jew hysterical, especially when he he keeps trying to attempt Yiddish. Now that Woody Allen seems to have lost his sense of humor, there are few comedians around who can explore these issues in a funny way. I also enjoyed the Lesbians episode a lot. Rosie O'Donnell does a good cameo in that one. And, as people have pointed out, the sex offender with golf tips was another highlight. Larry's dad has some entertaining moments in this season also, such as in the sandwich episode and Larry's death episode. Richard Lewis needs a kidney transplant this season, and consequently is mostly portrayed in bed or ill, and thus is not nearly as manic and annoying as he was in the early seasons. My only complaint about this season, and it is a very small one, is that Wanda Sykes showed up in only one episode. She is hysterical and I would have liked to see more of her... Review: Still got it :-> - Curb Your Enthusiasm still continues to make me laugh and cringe at the same time. Half the time, Larry brings trouble upon himself, other times, he just can't win no matter what he does. Either way, each episode holds plenty of laughs. The Larry David Sandwich episode involves Larry getting his own sandwich on the board of one of his favourite delis and it turns out to have whitefish in it which he can't stand. He tries to switch it with Ted Danson's sandwich. His father also possibly tells him (he's in hospital after having a stroke) that he's adopted. Then in The Bowtie, Larry seemingly owns a racist dog, upsets a friend with a lesbian daughter ... I think one of my favourite episodes in this season is the final one with Larry on his deathbed rambling on and on, and then after he passes, seeing him in heaven with his guides (aka Dustin Hoffman and Sascha Baron Cohen) and him arguing with his dead mother Bea Arthur. It's one of the more hilarious episodes. It always just goes on and on with him. The show always brings out good guest stars too. There is Mekhi Phifer, Mayim Bialik, Ted Danson, Hugh Hefner, Rosie O'Donnell, Bea Arthur and Dustin Hoffman to name a few. It really is a show with intelligent humour and obviously it's along the same vein as Seinfeld, but in my opinion, slightly better. Do yourself a favour and buy this now to watch all the hilarity that is Curb Your Enthusiasm.

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, this season is a great ride. And the moral of the story is that you should invite sex offenders over on the holidays. Go get your copy and watch Chicken Teriyaki Boy in action.

Takes a bit of a slide from previous seasons
but considering the first four seasons were hysterical that is somewhat to be expected in its fifth season. This season revolves around Richard Lewis needing a kidney and Larry's attempt to find anybody's kidney except his own as a possible match for Richard. It also has some funny run-ins with his private investigator to find out whether or not he's adopted. Overall, still a very funny season. Enjoy!

Contains Some of the Best Episodes to Date
You can't go wrong ordering any of the seasons, but 'The Ski Lift' is the best episode so far. Watching Larry kabitz in Jewish jibberish with an Orthodox man and his daughter-- explain his song hits as part of a non-existant college band ('My Freakin' Back is Klling Me')-- or his expression when the daughter says one of them must jump off a stuck ski lift ('Are you F***IN" NUTS?') makes this season worth every penny. Even Cheryl kicks in her best line and look when a plate needs to be buried due to mixing meat and dairy ('Can't we just wash it and call it a day?'). Larry David is simply the funniest person walking this earth.

Best Thing on T.V.
My wife and I have all the Curb DVD's and enjoy the laughter the Curb cast offers us before bedtime. It is truly life imitating art, letting me in on a secret - I'm not alone when it comes to being misunderstood. The cast is so attuned and compatible and it comes across through their honesty. The episodes have similar formulas, if you will, but then so did the Honeymooners. If you enjoyed the Honeymooners, then you will be a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David and company are pure genius. How can anyone not like Larry! I'm addicted to Curb. IT IS GREAT!

If you have a twisted sense of humour, Larry David is there for you!! Lots of foul language, though, and if you're disapproving of it, you'll miss out on some of the most contrarian, hilarious humour ever recorded on DVD!! If you liked Seinfeld, you'll like this, just look past some of the blue language to the heart of the man who is convinced the world has gone mad!! He might very well be right. This is my favourite season of Curb, with The Smoking Jacket (germaphobes will pee laughing) and The Seder in my top 5 episodes of all time. Treat yourself. Get this!!

I saw this season on TV and purchased it for a friend that is waiting for a Kidney Transplant. In the series the main character is tested for a kidney transplant, but tries to reverse his decision. My friend thought it was so very funny. It is a good series.

Prettyyyyyy Prettyyyyyy pretty good!
