Networks Jointly Acquire Multi-Platform Rights to the Hit Comedy Series
Produced By and Starring 'Seinfeld' Co-Creator Larry David

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 groundbreaking 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.
