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.

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.

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

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

s1ocki, Friday, 25 May 2007 06:15 (sixteen years ago) link

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

one year passes...

this really is one of the greatest shows ever

latebloomer, Monday, 4 August 2008 09:40 (fifteen years ago) link

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

stevie, Monday, 4 August 2008 09:40 (fifteen years ago) link

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 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

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 (fourteen years ago) link

There's also a half season!

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

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.

Hi, there you're being haunted! Dont you notice it? (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 10 August 2009 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link

Obama Death Panel (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 10 August 2009 21:31 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Obama Death Panel (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 10 August 2009 21:43 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, the complete series in one fell swoop!

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.

shartin jort (am0n), Sunday, 20 December 2009 23:24 (fourteen years ago) link

they gotta do the whole thing on dvd already come on

akira goldsman (s1ocki), Monday, 21 December 2009 00:00 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Dif Juz Guys (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 21 December 2009 00:02 (fourteen years ago) link

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

akira goldsman (s1ocki), Monday, 21 December 2009 00:03 (fourteen years ago) link

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

sonderangerbot, Monday, 21 December 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link

he really is and he really is

akira goldsman (s1ocki), Monday, 21 December 2009 00:18 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Dif Juz Guys (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 21 December 2009 00:33 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Dif Juz Guys (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 21 December 2009 00:34 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Number None, Monday, 21 December 2009 02:01 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Without Curves, I would feel deflated. I like Curves. They are best. (Stevie D), Monday, 21 December 2009 02:55 (fourteen years ago) link

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

antexit, Monday, 21 December 2009 03:40 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Jouster, Monday, 21 December 2009 04:54 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

EDB, Monday, 21 December 2009 05:03 (fourteen years ago) link

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

EDB, Monday, 21 December 2009 05:05 (fourteen years ago) link

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