Many comic actors pop up, some as "themselves" (Richard Lewis, Rob Reiner) and others as characters (Rita Wilson, Ed Asner) along with the delights of co-stars Cheryl Hines as David's wife and his affable manger, Jeff Garlin. There are several touchstone bits: what a thong brief can do to a relationship, a run-in with pro wrestler, Larry's first baptism, and one very collectible doll. To pick one episode to capture this second season--and its grandstanding nature--it would be "Shaq," in which the NBA star is accidentally tripped, changing David's usual bad luck with gut-busting results. --Doug Thomas

Customer Reviews of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete Second Season
Larry David is the man This show in the 4 seasons that have aired is comedy that is nothing short of brilliance, and the core of the minds producing it's genius work is Larry David. He was the true brains of Seinfeld and this show is the continuing proof of his brilliant mind for great comedy. Larry's own character in the show is the obvious inspiration for Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza. You can see Jerry and George in his attitude, his facial expressions, his movements, his interaction with people, and even his voice. The stories in Curb your enthusiasm and the way people interact with one another are all very similar to the Seinfeld style, with the exception of all the dirty 4 letter words thrown around of course. Larry has the knack for making people who watch the show cringe with embarassment for him. He never fails to hurt someone's feelings somehow and have it bite him in the rear-end later on in the show or even later in the series. With appearences by big name hollywood stars to add to his roster of characters, Larry David has definite potential to have another legendary show to remember him by.
Still superior to all other TV comedy series...
I rated this four stars relative to the series as a whole; in relation to every other comedy currently on the air, it really warrants the full five stars. In short, I have to agree with other reviewers who feel Season Two is probably the weakest in the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" series. Still, this is worth the price of admission for the "Doll Head" episode alone, maybe the funniest 30 minutes ever aired in television history, even if the rest isn't quite up to the usual Larry David standards. And while I'm not generally a fan of DVD extras, shelling out 35 bucks for a no-frills five-hour's worth of viewing seemed a tad inflated compared to similar DVD sets on the market (really, all the HBO series DVD's are over-priced).
It was still worth it in the end, as nothing makes me laugh harder than watching this poor shlub stammer his way through ridiculous situations of his own making. Priceless moments this season include an uncomfortably realistic bit with Jason Alexander suffering the slings and arrows of post-Seinfeld Costanza-typecasting; Ed Asner's hysterical turn as a gruff and horny old geezer on his last legs; and a horrified Larry encountering his shrink sporting a package-revealing thong at the beach -- not to even mention the nightmarish water bottle incident in the "Doll Head" episode.
This is "Curb Your Enthusiasm" undergoing growing pains, unsuccessful in fully re-capturing the spontaneous greatness of Season One and not yet on the reliably steady legs that will later hallmark its prime. While the writing and guest spots improve markedly in subsequent years, this series is still superior to everything being served up by the networks, even in its weakest hour.
Nowhere near as funny as the first season
Don't get me wrong...I don't regret the purchase. It's just that the first season was consistently laugh-out-loud funny and this one just isn't close to that level.
