I'm a fan...like a huge fan. I've watched everything.
I lean towards the bleeding edge of kafkaesque lynchian weirdness and just outright genius laughter.
The Larry Sanders show is basically proto-30 Rock, except way WAY better.
It's extremely topical, but not due to Larry's monologues, but because of the guests he is booking. The episode with Bobkat and Regis is especially poignant television.
IMHO, should go down with a very few 10/10s, like Dick van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, Chapelle's Show, Frisky Dingo - seriously high level comedy writing..it's no wonder it wasn't more popular, it's some of the smartest writing to come from the 1990s, including both TV and film.
