For most people, being a part of one of the most anticipated TV seasons in recent memory would be more than enough. Then again, most people aren't Super Dave Osborne.

Comedian Bob Einstein is, having first played the inept daredevil in 1972 and continuing to do so throughout the years on shows such as "Bizarre" and "Super Dave" and as a frequent guest on "Late Night With David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show." Not bad for a character Einstein says he created simply because he "needed a way to get out of the studio."

Lately, though, Einstein has drawn more attention for playing Marty Funkhouser on the HBO comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Now as that show makes headlines by getting the "Seinfeld" gang back together, Super Dave comes roaring back in "Super Dave's Spike-Tacular," premiering Saturday, Nov. 14, on Spike TV.

The four-part mockumentary-style series follows Super Dave as he prepares for various stunts that will inevitably go horribly wrong. "Curb" star Larry David will guest star, as will Jimmy Kimmel, Sugar Ray Leonard, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Kevin Nealon, Jillian Barberie Reynolds and Mick Foley. Einstein explains that it was time to take TV back from the likes of Jon and Kate Gosselin.

"That's one of the reasons I wanted to do it again," he says. "I've been in television a long time – I hate to say how long, but when I was 22 I was the head writer on ("The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour") – so I've really watched television evolve, and, to me, it is by far at its worst point."

Ironically, the improvisational technique of "Super Dave's Spike-Tacular" isn't all that dissimilar to the approach of the "pseudo-fake reality shows" Einstein detests so much. The difference, though, is that this show is intentionally funny.

Plus, Super Dave figures to get mangled and maimed at least a few times. Sounds pretty Spike-tacular to us.
