Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Fernando Lipschitz There's no laugh track to spoil this genius. The show flows, and it's over before you know it. The main characters, Larry, Artie, and Hank, really pull you in with a wide mix of character flaws and weaknesses that are cliché Hollywood.That said, if you enjoy the mindless schlock that passes for sitcom....character put in situation...satiation happens...laugh, you won't enjoy this show. It's got a mix of obvious and subtle humor.Added bonus, a real who's who of famous guest stars, most of whom are fantastic on the show playing themselves.Find it. Rent, buy or download it. Do what every is needed, this is must watch TV.

TheEmulator23 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."

fedor8 TLSS is easily the best U.S. sit-com, if one can call it that, of all time. Only "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" come close. TLSS has everything that garbage like "Friends" and "The Bill Cosby Show" haven't got: subtle humour, rich characterization, intelligent story-lines, great laughs, an almost perfect cast, and unlike those two miserable sit-coms TLSS does not cater to the worst/dumbest demographic viewing groups, hence its lack of broad appeal to the masses of morons who seek banana-peel humour when they switch on their TVs.And very importantly: no laugh track.At the core of the series are Larry, Arty, and Hank. Larry is insecure, talented, self-obsessed, and paranoid. Arty is tough, no-nonsense, determined, direct, and full of energy. Hank is slimy, egotistical, arrogant, sycophantic, talent-free, and generally quite pathetic. All three actors playing these three people are brilliant, in totally different ways, but if I had to pick one character that is the most fun to watch it would have to be Hank, of course. After all, pathetic characters in comedy shows usually get most of the glory. As far as comic timing goes, Shandling's is as perfect as anyone I've seen anywhere. The side-characters are very good, too, even the otherwise annoying Garofalo is watchable.The many guest stars only make the series more interesting, especially since there was very little effort to glorify these morons; quite to the contrary, many of them agreed to make themselves look foolish for the good of the show. Most of them pull it off well. Dana Carvey is perhaps the most successful in adding quality to the already flawless cast, whereas someone like Regis Philbin was embarrassing to watch, even though that particular episode was good.Unfortunately, I have seen only about a third of all the episodes, but from those I would pick out the following as the stand-outs (keeping in mind that I haven't seen a single anything-less-than-very-good episode): "Party", "Hank's Sex Tape", "Next Stop Bottom", and "Hank's New Assistant".

garage5inc The first show to make fun of, and explain variety talk shows. Gary Shandling is the host, and has an array of producers and writers that work for him, just like in real life. This show goes where others do not. It is not affraid to offend. One of the fresh things about this show is that there are no added laughs generated by the editing, whereas other TV shows actually "tell" the viewer when and when not to laugh, even if the joke is not funny.I have never seen any show like this, everything works, and you cannot go a full five minutes without laughing or being entertained. It is amazing how they got all the guest stars to come on the show just like real variety shows. Even though Larry Sanders is a satire, it is still funnier than Jay Leno and Kraig Kilborn.The characters are one of a kind, and their dialogue is unedited. It makes you feel like you are watching real people deal with comical situations, nobody can resist this show. Jeffery Tambor and Gary Shandling are just genuinely funny people to watch for hours on end.
