Rejection
Back when Larry David first showed his pilot of Curb to friends, everyone hated it. Ted Danson described that moment, saying, “My wife, Mary, and I met Larry on Martha’s Vineyard. They were renting a home there, and he had just shot the pilot. He showed a group of us in this little rental house. We were all crowded around this hot room and looked at the pilot. I’m overjoyed to tell you this: A couple of people fell asleep.” Even David said a lot of friends told him they couldn’t sit through the whole first episode because it was so cringeworthy.

Susie’s Character
One of the most iconic things about Curb is Susie Essman playing Susie Green and of course, yelling at Jeff Garlin’s character. Watching her curse and yell at Jeff or Larry is hysterical every time! Nowadays, people stop her on the streets to ask her to scream and curse at them. She spoke to Esquire about it, “I’m in an interesting position because people come up to me, and I’m not always in the mood. I’m going about my life, and I don’t feel like screaming and yelling at them, but some people are so relentless that I end up gladly screaming and yelling at them, and then they’re happy. I don’t think I’ve ever gone too far. It seems like I don’t go far enough. People are visibly disappointed that when they meet me I’m not this screaming, yelling crazy person.”
