the Larry Sanders Show

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

this really is one of the greatest shows ever

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

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?

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.

how do you do this bit t0rrent thingy again?

AWESOME

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

i was a real sucker for any and all of that 80s pomo intertextual tv. parker lewis cant lose etc.

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.

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

yeah! amazing...

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

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.

There's also a half season!

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

Embarking on Season 3 today.

HEY NOW!

lolz was just discussing the separated-at-birth nature of Dr. Phil and Hank yesterday with the wife

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.

what is it with Gary Shandling and DVDs

hoHo Garry Shandling Show DVDs actually coming out this year, apparently...?

Yeah, the complete series in one fell swoop!

Well, I'm done the whole thing, and truly, what a fine whole thing it was...

3 seasons on hulu now! although Availability Notes:
Some episodes from Seasons 2 and 3 are not available for online streaming at this time. We'll continue to request them.

they gotta do the whole thing on dvd already come on

It's all down to music rights, dude. Although I'd honestly be okay with them cutting the musical numbers if it meant the whole series would be available for purchase.

it wouldn't be the same without the song and dance numbers.

i'm watching season 1 for the first time now. Rip Torn is some kind of genius, Arthur is already one of my favorite characters ever

he really is and he really is

Yes to this times a billion zillion. Any show where Hank Kingsley is the second best character is a show to be treasured for the ages.

Actually, I go back and forth between Hank and Artie. The three dudes, though, are just next-level amazing together. I can't say it enough.

There's no way Artie is better than Hank. And i love Artie. Hank is a tragicomic figure for the ages.

u guyz thanks for reminding me I need to donwload season 2!!! I really hope this show sees more Janeane as it progresses.

Funny, I am watching Rip Torn as Judas in King of Kings right now

Hank is actually my third favorite character! No one seems to agree, but I really think Larry is great, and not just in a "necessary for the other characters to work" way (as in other shows). I got my girlfriend hooked on the show just recently, and re-watching has confirmed to me that Artie is the greatest.

Hank was my favourite character for the first 2 or maybe 3 seasons, then I found him to slide a bit more to being a bit caricatured in his foibles/being an ass (and honestly, annoying at times). Hence Artie took his spot, and he stands to this day a landmark in great TV characters: never a dull moments and always top notch. I can recall reading an Artie quote in the newspaper, before I'd seen the episode it quoted, and having Artie's voice and delivery perfect in my head (just say to yourself now: "Ahhh, Rip Torn of the great Larry Sanders Show", he needs no antics or caricaturizations, he's just a great capital-c Character if there ever was such a thing.

Also, did anyone else develop a distinct subconscious ripping off of Larry's joke-style/delivery after watching this. I know I did.

i've been both larry and hank so many times in my life it makes wish i had an artie

I love this show so much. It definitely dips at times but it has so many brilliant moments.
