The ten episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasms third season are linked together by a common throughline, wherein Seinfeld creator Larry David partners with actors Ted Danson and Michael York to open a restaurant. As the plots (and the ad-libs) merrily roll along, Larry gets into a brouhaha over uniforms for the waiters, conducts a Broadway-style audition for a new chef, and manages to insult a prominent food critic -- twice. And in other misadventures, Larry dials up a mess of trouble at the Emmy Awards ceremony with his new cell phone; he and wife, Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), confront The Nanny From Hell; rap artist Krazze-Eyes Killah meets his Waterloo; the wife of Paul Reiser is repeatedly and inadvertently on the receiving end of Larrys insults; the death of Larrys mother brings out the worst in practically everyone; and Larrys associate, Jeff (Jeff Garlin), finds that a reconciliation with his wife may hinge on his acceptance of a corpse-sniffing German shepherd. Add to all this Larrys never-ending inability to hand out appropriate tips, and it is easy to see that Seinfeld was far more than a figment of Larry Davids imagination. And, oh yes, we should mention such guest stars as Joan Rivers, Alanis Morissette, and Martin Scorsese. ~ All Movie Guide
