The Larry Sanders Show

Recommended Posts

You need to watch this vastly underrated TV show. It aired on HBO from 1992 to 1998 and has since been buried by history. Probably because it was way ahead of its time.

 

It's about a neurotic talk show host and the machinations and depravity that goes on every night behind the cameras. This is all woven in with the live footage of his show which features an endless parade of 90s celebrities playing petty, twisted, and probably brutally honest versions of themselves.

 

Not to mention George Sr from Arrested Development plays the hilariously deplorable sidekick Hank "Hey Now" Kingsley.

 

It all makes for a time machine into the 90s with such merciless, biting cynicism that it seems far more modern than most shows on the air today.

 

Ladies and gentlemen... Larry Saaanders!

If you can find it watch the Gary Shandling show. Twas a mid to late 1980s deconstruction of the sitcom.

 

Think Gervais but funny and clever.

 

Repped, thanks for the tip, this is indeed awesome.
