Amazon.co.uk Review
Throughout Curb Your Enthusiasm's fifth season, HBO's master of passive-aggression went in search of his roots. In the sixth, Larry returns to his old tricks--to the relief of fans who felt the show was losing its way. As usual, most scenarios revolve around problems unique to neurotic millionaires. Larry's voice of reason, wife Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), continues to save him from himself (when she can). This time, the 10-episode arc turns to Roots when the Davids take in the Blacks, a family of African-American hurricane evacuees, including Loretta (Vivica A. Fox) and her brother, Leon (an uproariously profane J.B. Smoove). Naturally, "L.D." offends other groups along the way, like an Asian gentleman ("The Anonymous Donor"), a chemotherapy patient ("The Lefty Call"), a deaf woman ("The Rat Dog"), and tennis-player-turned-comedian John McEnroe, a group unto himself ("The Freak Book"). During the year, Larry also tangles with an X-rated dessert, an unsympathetic senator (Rep. Barbara Boxer as herself), an inebriated chauffeur (Toby Huss), the infinite superiority of Ted Danson, and the usual games of oneupmanship with Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin), Richard Lewis (himself) and Marty Funkhouser (Bob "Super Dave" Einstein, brother of director Albert Brooks).

Since Curb Your Enthusiasm takes its inspiration from David's real life, the big news arrives when Cheryl, a character based on environmental activist Laurie David, walks out on him. Then their friends pick sides. Thereafter, things really start to go downhill, resulting in some of Larry's funniest faux pas ever--until R&B vocalist John Legend steps in to save the day. Not literally, but his soulful singing sets the scene for the surprisingly sweet finale.--Kathleen C. Fennessy

Synopsis
Life continues to befuddle hapless millionaire (and SEINFELD producer) Larry David in Series 6 of the hit U.S. comedy. As usual, Larry is joined by his faithful, beleaguered wife, Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), and his manager, Jeff (Jeff Garlin), while regular guests such as Ted Danson, Wanda Sykes, and Richard Lewis are on hand to add to the mayhem.

Return to form
After three superb seasons, I thought that season's four and five lost their way a little and I was considering not bothering with season six. However, I'm very glad I did as it truly is a strong return to form. It was only when I tried summarising an episode to a friend that I realised quite how intricately plotted each episode is. As ever, the 'guest' performances are particularly enjoyable - John McEnroe and Steve Coogan were both excellent additions to the supporting cast.

Not as strong as previous seasons.
LD is my comedy hero but I have to admit although Curb is extremely watchable,I found some of season 6 a bit of a struggle.Sometimes a bit too crude in places for my taste and I almost got to the stage where I began to think that this was a season too far.It does pick up towards the end and I very much enjoyed the series final episode. LD has set some very high standards but this was a bit below par for me.Slightly pricey for such a short season as well.I do hope LD does some more Curb.

Good season, but nowhere near as gd as 1 + 2,
I have to give this 3 stars, i feel i may have given it one more star, but it almost feels like seinfeld in a way because seinfeld quality dipped in the final few seasons. I almost wet my pants though seeing the introduction of the blacks, who are hilarious.
Being a diehard fan of curb, I have to be more critical as I've watched it from the start, I mean the people saying it is the best season is ridiculous as they must not have seen the first 3 to say something like that.
I feel the quality has dipped since series 2 for one reason, they are masterpieces, and the style of the show back then was cutting edge and was unlike anything else on tv, basically it was more realistic.
The whole style of the show now is made for a wider audience now i believe, but it is still very funny in a different way, series 6 is better than any other comedy on tv, because larry david is a complete comedy genius. I love the "amonymous donor" episode as his chemistry with leon is soo hilarious and his dislike for ted danson is priceless.
overall a must buy for a curb fan, and i feel 1 more season is enough as seinfeld dragged to long, btw i'd love seinfeld to be in an episode in the next season.
