Product description
At long last, Garry Shandling's comedy series about the twisted inner workings of a latenight talk show and its host comes to DVD. All of it. It raised the bar for fearless, acerbic Hollywood satire displaying the jarring dynamic between the on-camera poise of Larry and his backstage neurosis, making for brutally fascinating viewing. The Larry Sanders Show (1992-98) was, alongside Seinfeld, one of the great cult successes of 1990's American TV with a parade of 'A' list guests including Janeane Garofalo (24), Courtney Cox (Friends), Wallace Langham (CSI), Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Billy Crystal (When Harry Met Sally), Sarah Silverman (The Sarah Silverman Program), Robin Williams (Good Morning Vietnam). Written and produced by Garry Shandling, Peter Tolan (Rescue Me) and Judd Apatow (Superbad), The Larry Sanders Show was the hippest TV show...probably ever.

As it is in my view the best sitcom I have seen I had to buy the full set. I do feel manipulated into having paid good money for seasons 1 and 2 first though so the 5 star rating is for the show itself.
All sitcoms we now see that are grounded in "reality" situations with no laughter track owe a huge debt to this show.
The characters are well formed, they all act in character and are a bunch of very flawed and mostly, once you get to know them, very likeable (though sometimes infuriating) people. The standard of acting is very, very high for a sitcom - Rip Torn as Artie (producer) and Jeffrey Tambor as Hank (sidekick), particularly so. Gary Shandling as Larry (chat show host) performs very well to keep up with these two as the three main characters.
The celebrity guests send themselves up beautifully, with major highlights in later series featuring David Duchovny and in the final episode of the last series, Jim Carrey with an epic performance.
It all comes over as a very believable take on media celebrity and the artificial environment of the chat show.
Starting a few years after Seinfeld but finishing in the same year this is truly groundbreaking and has aged very well.
It mixes video-tape footage of the staged chat show shot in front of a live audience, with behind the scenes footage shot on film - an effective process to help differentiate the two.
I cannot recommend this show highly enough. EXCEPT .... In this Region 2 version you get no Extras at all. Just the shows. As I like the show so much I still rate it as 5 stars, but if I was rating on the way the different releases have been scheduled and the way in which the Region 2 version lacks the Region 1 extras I would say 1 star would be too generous.
What's interesting is to watch clips of Shandling on YouTube guest-hosting for Johnny Carson in the early days. Naturally enough, his delivery is not as seamless as in Larry but the process is there for all to see i.e. the gentle ribbing by the host leading to the ultimate smoothing of both his and his guest's ego by the end. The fact that this process went on while backstage (according to Shandling) the participants were agonising about their career, sexuality, status and self-worth makes the real thing even more compelling.
The Larry Sanders Show turned the whole world of showbiz inside out. Watching Shandling now - rather grumpy and unfulfilled - it's hard to imagine how he pulled off this magic stroke. But he did.
