Season 1
Larry David has it all—money, security, famous friends, a nurturing wife, a fabulous Hollywood home. So why is he so intent on making a complete mess out of his life? Just because you've made it, doesn't mean you've got it made.
The Pants Tent
An innocent bunch-up in Larry's trousers gives rise to an embarrassing situation.
Ted and Mary
Larry and Cheryl's fun-filled bowling date with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen ends with Larry's shoes missing.
Porno Gil
Larry sets off a bizarre chain of events (as he always seems to do) in which he is forced to attend a party at the home of a porno businessman.
The Bracelet
Larry is continually thwarted in his effort to buy a bracelet as a peacemaking gift for Cheryl.
Interior Decorator
Larry has some medical problems involving a certain bracelet. No biggy. Then larger problems arise when Larry finds out he shares the same interior decorator as Diane Keaton.
The Wire
Hoping to bury an unsightly telephone wire dangling over their yard, Larry and Cheryl befriend a pair of bizarre neighbors who must approve the burial. The husband is an incompetent lawyer but a big Seinfeld fan, so to appease him Larry arranges to have Julia Louis-Dreyfuss come for a visit. But when the actress arrives, the lawyer is missing; he's been hired to defend Jeff in a case involving a destructive kid Jeff sponsored for a Fresh Air Fund camp. At Larry's house, Julia ends up buying a bracelet from the lawyer's wife -- the same kind Larry wanted in episode 4 -- only to later accuse Larry of stealing it after he buys a similar one for Cheryl.
AAMCO
Jeff gets a new car, and when Larry takes it for a spin, a commercial comes on the radio for AAMCO, with a noise sounding much like a car horn from behind. Upon hearing this, Larry curses the man behind him, prompting the man to rear-end Jeff's brand new car. Also, Larry and Cheryl hold a dinner party.
Beloved Aunt
When Cheryl's aunt dies, Larry is left in charge of the obituary. But when the newspaper accidentally places ""beloved c*nt"" instead of beloved aunt, things take an expected turn for the worse.
Affirmative Action
Larry gets himself in trouble, when he makes a racist-like comment to Richard's friend. Also, Larry inadvertently loses Cheryl's prescription note.
The Group
Larry runs into his old girlfriend, and she asks him to escort her to an incest-survivors meeting. Cheryl is asked to co-star in ""The Vagina Monologues"" when one of the actresses is sick.
Avis de la communauté (2)
For someone who started watching at season 6 this was somewhat of a rough start. Glad he polished his character a bit more, it's quirkier. But yeah, it's a good first season, LD is my kind of guy, super relatable.
I get this, I appreciate it intellectually, and I often find it amusing, but I have to say that, as someone who had a love-hate relationship with George on Seinfeld, I have trouble watching parts of this show. My problem is that I don’t like people like this and I have trouble relating to the most extreme segments. This past TIFF, I was in the theatre to see No Place on Earth – a documentary about people surviving the holocaust by living underground for a record 500+ days – and this Jewish New Yorker sat down in front of me. She was related to the cast. She was apoplectic about not getting to sit in the reserved seats – TIFF reserves seats in each screening for cast and crew, and these could be considered “the best seats in the house – even though some other family members apparently got to sit in them. She wouldn’t let it go. Her husband was trying to talk to a friend of theirs and she would interrupt. When they started ignoring her, she kept talking out loud to herself about the injustice. I don’t like conflict, and I try not to be rude to other people, but if she hadn’t shut up when the movie started, I might have said a few things I would have later regretted. (It’s not nice to scream at old people.) This woman had no sense of perspective: here we were watching a film about the holocaust and she was livid about not sitting a few rows higher up in the theatre. Watching Larry David’s caricature of himself get mad about being bumped for a doctor’s appointment sent me right back to that moment. People like this have no perspective of the luxury of their lives. They may live in the moment, but that moment is apparently a painful, maligned one. They make life worse for the rest of us. Frankly, though I get that this is clever and funny, I don’t want to watch the remaining seasons because I want to avoid people like this as much as possible. I don’t need them. I am happy with the privilege I was born into. I will not be watching the rest of the show.
