 The Larry Sanders Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Larry Sanders Show was a satirical television series that originally aired from 1992 to 1998 on the HBO cable television network in the USA.
The Larry Sanders Show was particularly notable because the off-stage segments of the show were shot in single-camera mode, using a film camera, and had no 'laugh track' (most situation comedies are either taped before a live audience or dubbed with canned laughter), which gave it a behind-the-scenes documentary feel.
The show was also renowned (or notorious) for its no-holds-barred language, and featured profanities galore—a luxury made possible by being screened on U.S. cable TV, which is not subject to the same indecency regulations as broadcast TV.
