Ted Danson plays himself on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', a Larry David production (which has actually been renewed for at least one more season). Ted Danson plays a lighthearted, even-keeled man, whereas Larry is petty and seems to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders. At least that's my take on the grandfather comment.

Correct. That's why curb your is so funny. Larry david is so right he's wrong.

I see, thanks!
