Trivia
Larry David and HBO originally envisioned this as a one-time project, but it eventually became Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000). While that series also has ad-libbed dialogue and (during the first 6 seasons) a similar visual style, it's not a mockumentary (the characters don't acknowledge the cameras) and Larry & Cheryl David don't have kids.

Goofs
Early on, after Larry and Jeff exit the initial HBO meeting and are walking to the elevator, you can clearly see Larry reach for the elevator button, hesitate, then move his finger up a couple inches and press it into empty metal above the button. This was presumably done to prevent the elevator doors from opening during filming of the scene.

Quotes
Larry: You know who wear sunglasses inside? Blind people and assholes.

Crazy credits
To add authenticity to this mockumentary, the credits don't list a writer (it was Larry David himself).

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best comedy on TV!

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best comedy on TV! I've talked with Larry and he is as funny as on TV! Watch it!

Too bad that the three big networks don't realize that their shows are so bad mostly because they use a cookie cutter method in creating shows!
