Broadcast Nudes



Sheer Genius!!
Especially for those who who routinely watched the Johnny Carson Show, this is a perfect parody. Shandling, Tambor and Torn are in top form. WHAT TOOK THIS DVD RELEASE SO LONG?

FINALLY!!!!
FINALLY!!!

Now that we've finally made it over the (almost 10 year) hump from the season 1 release to season 2, season's 3-6 must be inevitable.

I'll leave others to describe this season in detail but I'll simply state that The Larry Sanders Show was seminal and groundbreaking and has lost none of its potency in the years since it originally aired. It is solidly one of the best TV shows of all time. It was THE show that put HBO Television firmly on the map and paved the way for future groundbreaking HBO and cable shows such as The Sopranos and The Wire as well as countless network television offerings. With its semi-verite eye on an offbeat, creative and dryly humorous environment, The Larry Sanders Show changed the face and format of television comedy and paved the way for reality TV and faux reality TV shows such as The Office. While comedy for sure, the L.S.S. provides many dramatic arcs to follow as well, some very intense and serious- all played to...

Hey Now!
The Larry Sanders Show was one of the most consistently funny TV shows ever. Part spoof of the Tonight Show, part homage to Johnny Carson and his well-known idiosyncrasies off-camera, the show always delivered insightful laughs.

Hosted by Garry Shandling, and aided by sidekick Jeffrey Tambour and producer Rip Torn, the Larry Sanders Show and the behind the scenes drama and angst consistently produce laugh out loud moments and quotes that have found their way into my daily life. "Hank's Look-Around Cafe...where you and your food go on an adventure." The list of guest appearances - including Dana Carvey, Burt Reynolds, Carol Burnett, Jeremy Piven, and Ed Begley Jr. - is amazing.

You will not be disappointed by the Larry Sanders Show. No flipping!
