CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM SEASON 8 DVD REVIEW – HBO’s hit comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, released its season eight DVD, featuring creator and star Larry David‘s fictionalized bachelor life in New York. Now that his divorce with his wife (Cheryl Hines) is finalized, Larry has many various awkward encounters with celebrities, politicians, and new girlfriends. In season eight, he clashes with Girl Scouts, disrupts a Broadway show, and deals with “pig parking.” Guest stars include Ricky Gervais, Rosie O’Donnell, Cheyenne Jackson, and Michael J. Fox.
BONUS FEATURES: Since this season is set in New York, you can have J.B. Smoove take you on Leon’s Guide to NYC where he shows you how to read at newsstands, relaxing through massages, and drizzling your pizza. Although his character might be funny in the show, almost 10 minutes of him might be quite difficult to watch. You can also see the stars Larry David, Cheryl Hines, Susie Essman, and Jeff Garlin discussing with Brian Williams on making the show in Roundtable Discussion with Larry and the Cast. Fans of the show will appreciate the candor and details the cast gives to explain how filming certain scenes were very uncomfortable, but hilarious.

ADDED VALUE: There is no added value in the form of an extra DVD or Digital Copy.
