Larry Sanders Show on HBO

[1992, TV Show]

Larry Sanders Show: TV Guide News

Classic satire about late-night TV host Larry Sanders, a neurotic (when he's not being self-obsessive) performer. The show boasted celebrity guests unafraid of poking fun at themselves; hilarious behind-the-scenes bits skewering the bloated egos (and insecurities) of the rich and famous; and delicious love-hate business involving Larry, producer Artie and sidekick Hank (`Hey now!'). Its memorable finale featured Jerry Seinfeld, Sean Penn, Carol Burnett, Warren Beatty and David Duchovny.

(Captain can't even figure out how to make an in-joke out of the fact that Tambor was on the jiggle-com's... read more

I'm going out on a limb this week, and I'm choosing a DVD set I haven't seen for my "Pick of the Week" (minor mix-up at the PR firm) - Not Just The Best Of The Larry Sanders Show. Though this is a dreaded "best of" release (please, please continue with the series in seasons sets), there are tons of bonus materials on the release. Garry Shandling is joined by Peter Tolan for commentary on two episodes, with Todd Holland and Judd Apatow doing one episode a piece. There's a documentary about... read more
