I was never a fanatic of Seinfeld when it was in first run; however, I did like it. Larry David's foray into the world of cable and the device of using his Seinfeld success to create a show around the real George Costanza is nothing short of brilliant. The show is cringeworthy at times but always entertaining and always very funny. The characters, like in Seinfeld, are rich and laughable. Larry manages to carry the show but he leaves so much room for so many people to shine- from Jeff Garland to Susie Essman to the terrific JB Smooth. Is this really Larry? Is this scripted or free form? Is this how Hollywood and TV really functions? I am not sure and do not care. I just know its funny and original and I am glad it is coming back for more.
