Inhaltsangabe

Readers can’t curb their enthusiasm for Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good, now fully revised and including a full insightful episode guide to the entire Curb Your Enthusiasm series

For Larry David, success was no sure thing. A frustrated New York comic who was known to walk off the stage in disgust, David was barely making a living. At least until his friend Jerry Seinfeld asked him to create a new kind of television sitcom for NBC. The result — Seinfeld — started slowly but became a gigantic hit. But most people didn’t know that the real genius behind the show was Larry David.

Rich beyond his wildest dreams, David still had something to prove — and some television boundaries to push. And so he created Curb Your Enthusiasm, the improvised comedy that cast aside political correctness and made for hilarious, cringeworthy TV, a show that dared to relive the disastrous Seinfeld finale and turn it into a triumph.

This second, fully updated edition of Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good recounts David's early years in Brooklyn, his first attempts at stand-up comedy, the struggle to succeed in television and movies, the creation and development of his hit sitcoms, and his later success with the HBO film Clear History and the Broadway hit Fish in the Dark. Written with candor and humor, it also explores Larry's on- and offscreen relationship with famous pals like Richard Lewis, Ted Danson, and Jerry, Jason, Julia, and Michael. Also included is an insightful episode-by-episode guide to the complete series of Curb your Enthusiasm.
