Coast to coast, from Manhattan Island to Manhattan Beach, there's nobody who compares to Larry David when it comes to social inappropriateness. In "Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Eighth Season," Larry travels to the Big Apple and finds himself battling new girlfriends, politicians and even Michael J. Fox. Featuring all 10 episodes along with bonus features, the two-disc DVD set will hit stores on June 5, 2012, with an SRP of $39.98, just in time for Father's Day.

"Hilarious...masterfully crafted" (TV Guide) and "flat-out funny" (Variety), the latest season of "the funniest series on television" (San Francisco Chronicle) finds Larry newly divorced, living the bachelor life and navigating the LA dating scene. However, when a faulty alibi ends up landing him in New York City for an extended stay, he proves that faux-pas and character assassinations can occur just as easily in Manhattan as in Hollywood. Will New York change Larry, or is it the other way around?

"Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Eighth Season" includes the bonus features "Leon's Guide to NYC," in which the character Leon offers his unique and entertaining take on what to do in the Big Apple, along with a roundtable discussion with Larry David and the cast recorded live at the 92nd Street Y.

Candid, unsparing and self-deprecating, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is driven by the off-kilter comic vision of its star and co-creator Larry David. A true HBO signature series, the show blurs the line between reality and fiction and is shot with only scene outlines in cinema verité-style, giving it an uproariously fresh and spontaneous narrative and improvisational quality.

Series regulars include Jeff Garlin as Larry's manager Jeff and Susie Essman as Jeff's wife Susie. Guest stars this season include series veterans Bob Einstein, Richard Lewis, Rosie O'Donnell, J.B. Smoove and Wanda Sykes, as well as Jonathan Ames, Bill Buckner, Rebecca Creskoff, Gary Cole, Michael J. Fox, Ana Gasteyer, Ricky Gervais, Michael Gross, Harry Hamlin, Larry Miller, Robert Smigel, Aida Turturro, Mookie Wilson and Jo Anne Worley. The series is executive produced by Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Gavin Polone, Alec Berg, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer, Tim Gibbons, Erin O'Malley and Larry Charles.
