This HBO promo borrows stars from its various original series to convince bored families to stay in on Sunday nights and watch TV. They do a good job of fitting everyone in, and it amused me that Larry David can't even promote his own show without coming off like a whiny asshole. Come to think of it, a lot of those characters were pretty inconsiderate—finishing all the orange juice, breaking the smoke detector, and barging in on husband/wife time aren't things that get guests invited back.
