| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: It's Garry Shandling's Show |
 | | It's Garry Shandling's Show was the beginning of comedian and sometime 1980s Tonight Show guest host Garry Shandling's ongoing exploration of lives led in front of the camera, while parodying the world of television; his magnum opus, the fruits of these years, is The Larry Sanders Show. |
 | | Shandling, with former Saturday Night Live writer Alan Zweibel, created It's Garry Shandling's Show, which was on Showtime from 1986 to 1988, and Fox from 1988 to 1990. |
 | | Besides covering Shandling's trials and tribulations with girlfriends, his mom, and his friends, It's Garry Shandling's Show lovingly spoofed television conventions and sitcom "rules" with parodies of Lassie and The Fugitive. |
