so right

I don't feel like reading over this whole thread (which I didn't know existed), so I may repeat something said above. This was my favourite TV show ever. In the annals of showbiz creeps, Bob Odenkirk's Stevie Grant was good enough for The Sweet Smell of Success. My number-one favorite line was Hank's response in the hallway when Larry introduces him to "Elvis" (Costello): "I don't think so..." Second favourite was Arty's description (in the Wu-Tang episode) of Lenny Kravitz as being only "half-urban" (exaggerated upper-class pronunciation of "half").

This was a perfect show.

hey nowwww

Does my ass look fat?

Revision to an earlier post: this is my favorite moment of all.

Isn't Bob doing the same agent that Jeremy Piven is supposedly doing on Entourage? I, obviously, prefer Bob's take.

Maybe this is because I've thoroughly watched Mr Show and have gotten sick of Bob Odenkirk, but he always struck me as one of the lesser characters on the show. I mean he was pretty good in the first few seasons, but then he just got kind of annoying, and his acting seemed to decline too, in that kind of over the top Bob Odenkirk way.

Although, then again, I think most characters wear away with age, except Artie of course, who is very much like a the finest of wines, ripens with age, is perennially classy, etc.

Arrived today!! Now I just need to plow through 25 more Seinfeld DVDs, then I'm all set. Life is good.

xpost Referring to Bob Odenkirk the person as a 'character' is odd, but if you think he's lost it or something, check out his performance on Breaking Bad. Probably his best work, and a great show.

I meant Stevie. I think you misread my post.

jouster u mad. i mean i get both characters are supposed to be based on ari emanuel but bob's is probably too goofy?

xpost oh, duh. I guess I said Bob and you said Bob and so I somehow got it all mixed up. I know what you mean - I kinda feel that way about Hank (a little).

great scene: hank all bronzed up doing his prince charles imitation

Yes, I feel the same way about Hank too. somewhere along the way he turns from a lovable goof from lovably irritating goof, to irritating goof (that's still funny, just maybe a bit too incorrigible).

To speak of another great Hank scene: the scene with Harvey Fierstein was one about which I had a phase for a week of almost compulsively rewatching.

the scene where larry and hank have a chat in the car after larry abandoned the show for a bit is amazing. "listen...larry boy!"

yes!

and the scene where hank and artie get drunk, and hank is all woozy from piercing his own ear, and they accost larry for planning to quit the show...

"I hope someone from Pavement saw it because I would like to date any one of those fine gentlemen."

garofalo otm imho

hank's hissyfits <3<3<3

Hank's fits are great because they capture the comic-pathetic quality that exists in most real life outbursts.

Wasn't aware this was on its way until my sister and brother-and-law surprised me on my birthday:

whoa nice, santa claus will be hearing about this let me tell you.

sweet!

hope there will be the requisite tonnes of extras

There are heaps, but it's not clear if it has (all of) the same ones as the Best Of set - at least some of Shandlings re-visits to cast are in there tho

Do you know if thre are extras that weren't included on the Best Of collection?

I've been working my way through the box set (link above)--finished season two last night. Spooky: John Ritter, Gene Siskel, and Warren Zevon all on the same episode. Utterly brilliant: Hank at the end of the Eric Bogosian episode, where he believes that Bogosian's character (Stan, Larry's old partner in a comedy duo) is dead, even though Stan's suicide attempt was in fact botched.

Number 1 on my Christmas list

Yeah!

love artie tackling phil at the end of the zevon episode.

is there a uk version of it? i had a look on amazon and it was 116 quid for a us version, i guess my xbox prob plays us dvds but that price is hefty too, i could download for at most half that price, possibly a lot less.

season 1 and 2 are on region 2 from Amazon at about 18 quid each

[/Amazon Spokesman]

Artie is just consistently great. From the "Hank's Wedding" episode, when Hank is shocked that Artie's figured out he wants to have the wedding on air: "Hank, I keep telling you--I can see right into your soul."

xp don't think xbox plays us dvds...? if so, it's "only" $99 at amazon atm.

it screams "penis vagina" more than anything...

I had to go on hiatus from the box set for a couple of weeks, but I just finished the episode where Hank guest-hosts (Season 3), and I don't know if the show ever had a better one.

Darlene: "I'm doing some creative visualization, and I'm seeing the audience screaming with laughter!"
Artie: "I've seen the same thing, Darlene--thank you for explaining the screaming."

That's one of my favorites as well.

The way Hank becomes really smug with Larry and the crew after the first show is especially great.

Hank's post-show smugness is so off the chart, it's actually hard to watch; even before I started the episode, I got this queasy feeling remembering what a train-wreck he was. Another favorite line from Artie, when Hank breaks down crying just before he goes on air: (as only Artie can deliver it) "Should I be concerned?"

that might be my favourite episode. at least as good as hank's sex tape.

"And might I suggest three gift baskets for Lionel Richie, one for each time you referred to him as 'Little Richard.'"

All the best episodes are Hank related, aren't they? I like the one where they have to do a show without Hank and realize his value to the show.
