Larry David, the co-creator of Seinfeld comedy series based on the events from his life, now shows how his life really looks like. More or less real life since most of the scenes were improvised by the actors.
0 | Pilot |
| The first season introduces us to Larry’s post-Seinfeld world, where he is wealthy, has a loving wife, a best friend, and also manages to offend everyone around him. It is not long into the series though that we realize that Larry David is his own worst enemy. He is accused of having an adultery-implying erection because of his extremely baggy trousers that bunch up when he sits down; feuding with a shoe salesman; getting blamed for a newspaper typo after submitting an obituary for Cheryl’s aunt; reacting offensively to drinking from his friend’s mother’s glass; and unintentionally causing someone to believe that his uncle is an incestuous pedophile. Although this season has no major plot line, there is a small plot of Larry trying to obtain a bracelet to give to Cheryl and another small two-episode plot involving Larry and Cheryl trying to have a wire that runs through their backyard removed. |
1 | The Pants Tent |
| Larry’s baggy new pants create awkward misunderstandings among Larry, Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), and her friend (Robin Ruzan). A movie-theater argument with a female ’stranger’ (Sofia Milos) leads to tensions between Larry and his best friend (Richard Lewis). Larry jokingly refers to Cheryl as "Hitler" during a car speakerphone conversation with Jeff (Jeff Garlin) and his attempts to hide it from her--and to appease Jeff’s Holocaust-sensitive parents (Mina Kolb, Louis Nye)--backfire disastrously. Kathy Griffin makes a cameo appearance. |
2 | Ted and Mary |
| Larry and Cheryl spend quality time with new celebrity friends Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen and Larry goes shopping with Mary’s mother (Anne Haney); Larry’s shoes are stolen at the bowling alley and he confronts the thief. |
3 | Porno Gil |
| Larry and Cheryl are invited to retired porn star Gil Bang’s (Bob Odenkirk) dinner party. In the hospital after a routine checkup, Jeff says he needs emergency bypass surgery and asks Larry to hide his porn collection from Susie (Susie Essman) in case something happens to him. But when Larry is enjoying this stash--starring Gil--near the end, it’s Jeff’s folks who catch him. |
4 | The Bracelet |
| Larry wants to buy a bracelet for Cheryl; Larry and Richard Lewis help a blind man (Patrick Kerr) move into his apartment. |
5 | Interior Decorator |
| Larry keeps missing appointments with Diane Keaton; Larry is angered by the operations of his doctor’s office, and he also tangles with Diane Keaton’s Interior Decorator. |
6 | The Wire |
| To bury a telephone wire, Larry must befriend his next-door neighbors, the Weinstocks (Wayne Federman, Lucy Webb), who ask to meet Julia Louis-Dreyfus. |
7 | AAMCO |
| Cheryl holds a dinner party; Larry test-drives Jeff’s car and disastrously mistakes the trademark double-horn sound-effect in an AAMCO radio commercial for a real horn. |
8 | Beloved Aunt |
| Cheryl’s parents (Paul Dooley, Julie Payne) ask Larry to write an obituary for Cheryl’s aunt, then blame him for a horrifying typographical error in the piece. |
9 | Affirmative Action |
| Larry makes an inappropriate humorous remark to an African American doctor; Larry and Cheryl travel across L.A. to retrieve a prescription. |
10 | The Group |
| Jeff offers Cheryl a role in The Vagina Monologues; Larry runs into an old girlfriend (Melanie Smith) who asks him to go to an incest survivors group with her--which is led by the director of the show (Laraine Newman). |
