Networks Jointly Acquire Multi-Platform Rights to the Hit Comedy Series Produced
By and Starring "Seinfeld" Co-Creator Larry David
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
TV Land and TV Guide Network today announced that they will jointly acquire
basic cable rights to "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the award-winning HBO comedy
series produced by and starring "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David. One of the
most ground-breaking shows on television, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" has never
before been seen on basic cable television and for the first time ever, this
irreverent comedy series will be delivered to millions of new viewers by TV
Guide Network and TV Land. In addition, both networks will acquire certain
broadband, wireless and video-on-demand rights, bringing "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
to multiple screens for fans to enjoy.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" has recently garnered tremendous buzz and fan-following
during its current season which features a long-awaited "Seinfeld" reunion 11
years after the show`s finale. Airing now on HBO, the seventh season of "Curb
Your Enthusiasm" stars members of the famed "Seinfeld" cast, who recreate their
sitcom characters and also play themselves during the show.

"`Acquiring a series of this caliber truly underscores our commitment to
defining TV Guide Network as a destination for some of the best shows on
television," said Ryan O`Hara, President of TV Guide Network and TVGuide.com.
"`Curb Your Enthusiasm` is our second major acquisition this year and it will
become another key building block in our programming line-up for 2010 and
beyond."

"We are excited to bring `Curb Your Enthusiasm` to TV Land PRIME," stated Larry
W. Jones, president, TV Land. "`Curb Your Enthusiasm` is one of the most clever,
witty and groundbreaking shows on television and we`re excited to have it join
our roster of top-quality sitcoms. The irreverent way `Curb` uses characters to
illuminate real-life situations fit perfectly with our strategy of delivering
programming that is geared to the life stage and attitudes of people in their
40s."

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" will air on TV Guide Network for a multi-year run
starting February 2010. TV Land will begin airing the series in TV Land PRIME
immediately following TV Guide Network`s term.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" stars Larry David as himself in an unsparing but
tongue-in-cheek depiction of his life. Shot in a verite style and featuring
celebrities playing themselves, the episodes are improvised by the actors from
an outline created by David. The series also stars Cheryl Hines as David's wife
Cheryl, Jeff Garlin as David's manager Jeff and Susie Essman as Jeff's wife
Susie. The show was nominated for four Emmys in 2008, including Outstanding
Comedy Series. It won the Golden Globe in the Best Television Series - Musical
or Comedy category in 2002. In 2003, Robert B. Weide won a directing Emmys for
his work on the series. The series has also received awards from the Writers
Guild of America, Directors Guild of America, Banff Television Festival,
American Film Institute and Monte Carlo Television Festival, among others. "Curb
Your Enthusiasm" is executive produced by Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Gavin
Polone, Alec Berg, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer, Tim Gibbons and Erin O'Malley.
