The video was excellent. I was already aware of all this, and that's why I have a super-appreciation of Curb. Larry has cultivated this rich environment where everyone has an opportunity to contribute ideas through the open ended un-fully defined dialogue process. There's a feeling of spontaneity that I just love. I book marked this. Will share with others soon. Thanks for the video, you nailed it.

I recently got cable, and one of the stations has the complete series. This is comic gold. The many situations that occur in each show, make it funny throughout. I've watched them all, and will again. Genius!

Damn, hit us with those words of wisdom at the end. Great life advice about passion, art and individuality. And great video.

Although improvisation does play a big role, you forgot to mention that the outlines are also well written. LD has written a setup and a punchline for each scene that the actors can improvise upon; they just flow more naturally than a Seinfeld episode but the brilliance in his writing is still there, controlling his actors as puppets for his own joke. That's why I liked the early seasons of Curb more. He frequently used people who weren't really professional actors who could still pull off their improvised scenes, and that is largely indebted to how Larry wrote the outline.

i instantly liked and subscribed, this was an incredible analysis and i’m excited to watch more of your videos!!

Easily the more imaginative , crazy and hilarious sitcom/comedy show we've ever seen. The spontaneity is addictive, and becomes cringe-worthy as people guess how the characters should/would/ eventually react . It's everyman with outrageous commentary on real human nature, what we think, and what we feel, with most of us concurring with the results, but too reticent to do and say the same things in real life. I think the Honeymooners comes closest to true imaginative unscripted comedy- as that wonderful show was filmed LIVE with no second chances!

@Nerdstalgic - You’re explanation as to why Curb works without a script, is absolutely spot on. And, your explanation also explains why Curb is one of my Favorite Shows/Series of All Time. Also, in my opinion I also think Curb is one of the Greatest Shows/Series of All Time as well.

Wow. Thank you for making this.

The unscripted nature of Curb makes sense, as many character’s lines (especially Cheryl’s) sound as if they’re wracking their brains, trying to come up with something. It's awesome. Cheryl has quite a few moments: “There’s something... strange...happening.” “It’s a divorce, so... start... packin’ up... ‘cause you’re movin’ out.” I love Larry’s unapologetic quip to Heidi about “the sorry window”. It’s got to be the most Costanza argument that wasn't attributed to Costanza himself
