and it looks like there will be more dvds.

i have the new set. it's sadly only a "best of," doesn't look like they're going to do all the seasons (despite the fact that every bullshit tv show ever is being faithfully released season-by-season on dvd these days).

HOWEVER, that said, it is an amazing set. tons of new material--"personal visits" with cast members and guests on the show, lots of funny bonus stuff and the whole thing was obviously put together with a ton of love.

amazon says there's a "not just the best of" AND a compleat S01 out on 17 april:

s01 came out a few years ago in the us and it sold really poorly (it was sort of before the whole tv-on-dvd boom) and thus the following seasons never made it. the "not just the best of" is what i was talking about.

― s1ocki, Sunday, 1 April 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

I don't really understand what is on that Not Just The Best Of... but I'm very glad to see WKRP in Cincinnati is coming out on dvd very soon.

― Ned Trifle II, Sunday, 1 April 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

it's 18 episodes from the span of the series and a ton of docs and "visits" and deleted scenes and commentaries and stuff.

In regard to the DVDs I read somewhere awhile ago that since the first season didn't really sell very well HBO decided not to release any more seasons.

I heard from a source close to the creators that the additional-seasons-on-DVD obstacle was actually the result of the massive legal wrangling that required clearing the musical guests' performances throughout the series.

Surprisingly, perhaps, it's almost impossible for a release from a major studio distributor to 'sell poorly' in this day and age of Best Buys/Wal Marts/Stores that auto-order a standard amount of any given title based on corporate research and a title's "category" of release (i.e. they establish early on if something is a "B," which would mean 22 copies per store, versus a "C," which is 5 copies per store, or whatever). They've massaged this supply and demand thing to incredible precision to the point where the studios are not losing money on any release.

(I also have to point out yet again that Morbius' Ye gods, Arrested Development made even Tambor unfunny. is still one of the single most insane opinions I have ever heard voiced, on any topic).

OTM. tambor was The Balls in hill street blues, too

― stevie, Monday, 16 April 2007 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah well, AD's cult love is proof that we have a whole generation used to unfunny comedy.

Last week, Shandling great when Letterman said "You're a guy who wants a family someday..." GS: "Don't you think I better start in the next 6 hours?"

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 26 April 2007 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

this show kicked ass, do they still air it? some channel used to not terribly long ago

― deeznuts, Thursday, 26 April 2007 18:57 (nineteen years ago)

Bravo (they probably cut it)

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

oh christ if youve watched any bravo lately youd know theres no probably about it

― deeznuts, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

the box seems really good. the extras are *exhaustive... but these are out-takes and deleted scenes i actually want to watch. the documentary is good stuff. the buddhism thing at the end of the dvd is a little weird. the interviews with tambor are hilarious, with rip torn really moving, with shandling often unsettling.

i want an artie in my life.

Morbz totally OTM re: Arrested Development.

I didn't see enough of LS when this was on. Seen a few reruns that were chuckleworthy but in general feel like I missed the boat. I would be VERY interested in seeing The Garry Shandling Show again tho. Just to see if its actually as funny as I remember it.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 26 April 2007 22:16 (nineteen years ago)

theres a few garry shandling show clips on youtube. i think it's aged pretty well and i wish there were dvds available

― am0n, Thursday, 26 April 2007 23:32 (nineteen years ago)

has anyone watched the alec baldwin section of the DVDs yet? he and garry spar in what seems to be garry's personal gym. things start off cordial (since, as garry states beforehand, they don't really know each other) and then turn pretty awkward. they both seem to get pretty into the boxing/challenging each other's manhood and sort of veer away from the show. baldwin even mentions getting agression out due to his divorce problems.

on the whole, though, i'm totally satisfied with the DVD package. sure, it sucks that they're not releasing the seasons (though, GS keeps claiming in interviews that sony will be releasing more) but the follow ups are totally killer as far as i'm concerned.

― Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe, Friday, 27 April 2007 01:35 (nineteen years ago)

i think, if this set is successful, they may release further seasons. i hope. they are quite easy to torrent tho, if they *never come out.

― stevie, Friday, 27 April 2007 07:59 (nineteen years ago)

I'm pretty sure there won't be anymore til Shandling's dead.

Results 1 - 10 of about 852 for "thank you bittorrent". (0.06 seconds)

― W i l l, Friday, 25 May 2007 02:27 (nineteen years ago)

why did you google that? were you looking for thank-you sites?

― s1ocki, Friday, 25 May 2007 06:15 (nineteen years ago)

more like momentary curiousity about how many others have felt the need to express their gratitude in words.

― W i l l, Friday, 25 May 2007 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

one year passes...

this really is one of the greatest shows ever

― latebloomer, Monday, 4 August 2008 09:40 (seventeen years ago)

agreed. wish there was a second box set coming out...

― stevie, Monday, 4 August 2008 09:40 (seventeen years ago)

how can all the seasons be available for torrent if they never came out as DVDs? surely they haven't been recorded to VHS when initially on and then digitised recently?

― S-, Monday, 4 August 2008 13:09 (seventeen years ago)

I watched the entire run of the show last year, thanks to someone seemingly having done just that. Great stuff, though I probably watched it too quickly, so it became a bit of a daze or haze or mayonnaise after a while

Anyways, I guess they might have ripped them from re-runs rather than crusty old tapes. I no longer recall what the image/sound quality was like. I've definitely found rips of other old shows that very obviously were taken from aged cassettes though.

― Øystein, Monday, 4 August 2008 13:17 (seventeen years ago)

how do you do this bit t0rrent thingy again?

Top three of all time. Definitely one of the most underrated shows ever.

i am obsessed with this show. managed to get seasons 1-3 on torrents and hopefully will find the others when needed.

so many amazing scenes, it's so cumulative too, the more you watch it the more every line just becomes funny. also sometimes there aren't even any jokes, it's just funny watching cos hank is hank, larry is larry, and artie is artie.

tambor tho is just UNBELIEVABLE. the scene in S03E01 when Larry is coming back from Montana and trying to get the show back on the air and he goes to Hank's car which is filled with smoke. Hank is like "larry......BOY" etc stumbling over a prerehearsed speech.

one of those precious shows that makes life worth living.

― Local Garda, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 10:18 (seventeen years ago)

is that the same episode where Artie pleads with Larry to come back? 'Youre like something out of greek mythology...half man, half desk!'

― Michael B, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 11:54 (seventeen years ago)

yeah! amazing...

For the Love of God someone release the complete series on DVD!

― Kommen sie bitte und listen to Kraftwerk (EDB), Sunday, 2 August 2009 21:53 (sixteen years ago)

it's all on the torrent sites...

i love love love this show but seasons 4 and 5 aren't even in same ballpark as first 3, and season 1/2 are just impeccable.

― I for one welcome this new Nazi ILX (Local Garda), Sunday, 2 August 2009 22:11 (sixteen years ago)

There's also a half season!

I hate watching TV shows on a computer, and I don't even use torrents, but I must.

― Kommen sie bitte und listen to Kraftwerk (EDB), Sunday, 2 August 2009 22:34 (sixteen years ago)

Embarking on Season 3 today.

― Obama Death Panel (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 10 August 2009 21:19 (sixteen years ago)

I am sorely disappointed every time this thread gets bumped and it's not about further season sets being released on DVD...

Good job, though, EDB! Would that I could go back and watch it all again for the first time.

I missed this when it came out last fall, but Jon Stewart talked about a Hitler sketch that was vetoed by a Paramount exec. This was on Stewart's ill-fated talk show, and it was indeed the inspiration for the Adolph Hankler episode of Larry Sanders (which Stewart apparently wrote).

― birdistheword, Wednesday, 12 March 2025 13:13 (one year ago)

(it's around the 8:00 mark, but it's worth hearing Conan's setup for context if you want to hear how both of them got a better perspective of how they were going to succeed)
