We have been shown the first episode of the first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm named as ‘The Pants Tent’ aired on the 15^th October 2000. In the premier of the episode, Larry joking refers to his wife Cheryl as “Hitler”, which offends his manager Jeff’s conservative Jewish parents.

Within the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, they are being followed around, living their everyday life with dull humour and more adult content involved. We come across an awkward situation at the cinema with Larry and Cheryl’s friend, as well as seeing shaky handheld camera work.
