The Larry Sanders Show (1992–1998)
6/10
Not quite as good as I remembered it. Blame HBO.

Now this show although good and sort of new at the time doesn't hold up quite as well. Don't get me wrong it is still good and there are a couple great episodes "Hankersiezer 200" is pretty great. I think this was one of those shows that came out early as part of HBO's original series if not the 1st, it just doesn't meld as well as I remembered. This had a fantastic cast & all of them are still working in Bigger & Better things, all except Garry Shandling that is. Jeffery Tambor in both Big Movies "Hellboy 1 & 2" & steady Television, Jeremy Piven is now a legend because of a better HBO comedy playing Ari from "Entourage," Rip Torn in big movies "Men in Black," & another better comedy "30 Rock," even Wallace Langham has a solid role on the #1 TV drama "CSI." In fact the main reason this isn't as good is because of some of the funniest comedies of all time have come out after this & from HBO! "Extras" & the aforementioned "Entourage." So I would skip most of the show except the box set "Not just the best of Larry Sanders."
