Get the False Enthusiasm mug.What originally began in 1999 as a one-time one-hour special on HBO about "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David's return to stand-up comedy, has turned into a critically acclaimed smash-hit that has spanned 5 seasons(2000,2001,2002,2004,2005) and has earned itself quite a few awards. The show is mostly about the daily life of Larry David and his wife Cheryl(played by Cheryl Hines) and all the hilarious trouble he gets into by pissing people off.Other characters that play key roles in the show are "Jeff Greene"(played by Jeff Garlin Larry's agent, and Jeff's loud-mouth expletive-laden wife "Susie Greene"(played by Susie Essman). If you like(d) "Seinfeld" you'll either LOVE or HATE "Curb Your Enthusiasm" due to the fact that the two shows are quite different.
