There is a good profile of Larry David in this month's GQ. I love Curb and, as he calls himself, "TV Larry." The writer of the profile made a good point that explains why I like the show so much - TV Larry does not follow the social contract. He speaks his mind even if it offends people about precisely the small shit that we all swallow most of the time in service of keeping societal harmony. In this way, Curb is escapist, it allows us the fantasy of what it would be like if we could everyone exactly how we feel but never do.
