	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 series, which was partly inspired by Shandling's stint as a guest host on The Tonight Show, is ranked by many critics and fans alongside Seinfeld as one of the best TV comedies of all time.
		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.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Larry Sanders Show
		His Larry Sanders was a complex character: egocentric yet lacking in confidence; single-minded but often swayed by advice from the strangest corners; fearful of being fired by the network yet constantly complaining that he was treated badly and that the punishing schedule left him little time to himself.
		Larry, Artie and Hank were the triumvirate at the centre of the show but the other characters were uniformly well drawn and portrayed.
		Sanders' scriptwriters, especially Phil, were paranoid and felt that their best work was being wasted, and the support staff were much put upon and rarely appreciated, especially Hank's assistant, Darlene and later Brian.

	IMDb user comments for "The Larry Sanders Show" (1992) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		On camera, the Larry Sanders Show is slick, professional, and vacant, as celebrities appear pretending to be best of friends with Larry and delighted to be on the show when all they're really doing is plugging their latest product and when everyone in the paranoid entertainment industry actively hates everybody else.
		TLSS was THE show about the shallowness of TV and film business personalities, even down to the real life LSSish saga of Gary Shandling falling out and suing his one time friend and manager, Brad Grey for $100m.
		TLSS is shot on video for the talk show portions, the part that is "broadcast", while the behind-the-scenes reality parts are shot on film, giving you a line of demarcation for what's "real" and what's "the show".

	THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW: THE ENTIRE FIRST SEASON - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		But as Garry Shandling, the brains behind the series as well as Larry Sanders' alter ego, tells television critic Tom Shales in an interview exclusive to the first season DVD release of "The Larry Sanders Show", if the show were all cynicism, it wouldn't have lasted for six years.
		Her egotistical demands are in keeping with the rest of Larry's satellites, but because she's a woman and indirectly involved in Larry's affairs, Jeannie's hostility contributes little beyond sour grapes.
		Larry is asked to do on-air commercials for The Garden Weasel by the new head of programming, and he infuriates her with his sarcastic delivery of the ad copy.

	The Larry Sanders Show
		Being a fictional show in a real world, "The Larry Sanders Show," which was created by and stars comic Garry Shandling, has the luxury of taking real behind-the-scenes events from late night talk shows and applying it to their show.
		For Larry Sanders it was his ninth season when his ratings started to drop, and it was at this time that the network executives assigned a creative consultant to improve the show.
		Larry's show was no longer his own and due to his slipping ratings, he was forced to go along with the changes or else risk not having his contract renewed.

	It's Garry Shandling Show
		Though Larry is not the biggest fish in the chat pond, it is difficult to realize this from his interactions.
		On-screen, Larry is smooth and controlled, but behind the scenes, he is manipulative and disturbed, descending frequently into paranoia and tempter tantrums.
		Larry tolerates Hank because he is, at once, confidant and pitch-man, as responsible for Larry's success as are his own skills.

	The Larry Sanders Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Larry is doing the show, talking about rap artists and their stage names, and as a throwaway he says "Hank, if you were a rapper, what would your name be?" and Hank says, totally deadpan: "Hank the Rapper." That just blew me off the couch.
		LSS never jumped, although it came close when Darlene left because she was boffing Larry on the show and Gary in real life.
		Larry Sanders is now on in syndication in LA. Not that the show was about the swearing, but it's somehow lacking something without it.

	DVDlaunch.com: The Larry Sanders Show - The Entire First Season review
		When I think of satirical shows that poke fun at something, usually the media, I think "The Larry Sanders Show." Truly one of cable television's greatest triumphs, like a good deal of cable shows, there is stuff here that you couldn't get away with on network television.
		Besides that, I still think that "The Larry Sanders Show" is one of the best shows to air in the 1990s, and one of the funniest of all time.
		The show is pretty dialogue driven, but there are segments which require effects and music (mainly on the talk show portions themselves).

		Yes, late-night talk shows really are that calculated.
		It was interesting to learn these things in a documentary about talk shows recently, but more fun to see this reality skewered on the Larry Sanders show.
		The show usually stops short for about a minute or so while the 'musical guest' on the show-within-a-show performs a song, and sometimes we have to sit through the lame monologues as well.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Larry Sanders Show [1993]: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The complex interdependence of Larry, Artie and that fragile monster Hank is especially compelling: "a fugue in insecurity", as one TV critic put it.
		Whilst, Garry Shandling and Rip Torn are excellent in their roles as Larry (the host of a spoof talk show) and Artie (his producer), for me Jeffrey Tambor (who plays Shandling's side kick Hank Kingsley), steels most of the scenes he is in.
		This show - about a show - meticulously unclothes the chat show industry and it is indeed a shame that it did not catch on in the U.K. It is cult viewing and so well made but still with an air of sponteneaity(?).

	Digital Spy Forums - Larry Sanders Show
		The show's announcer and Carson's sidekick was Ed McMahon, who from the very first show would introduce Carson with a drawn-out "Heeeeeeeeerrrreeee's Johnny!" (something McMahon was inspired to do by the over-emphasized way he had introduced reporter Robert Pierrepoint when as host McMahon had introduced him on the NBC Radio show Monitor).
		This is not any kind of mistake in the Larry Sanders Show, as it is quite reasonable to assume that any TV show will promote what they expect to include in it, at the time of recording.
		For example, the current incarnation of the Tonight Show is interesting because Leno does all the book and film plugging that Larry Sanders satirises, but somehow comes across as more interested in the state of the US and its fat, moronic population (his oft-used words, not mine) than in Sarah Jessica Parker's latest film.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Larry Sanders: First Season -- Garry Shandling - DVD
		The groundbreaking comedy, depicting the behind-the-scenes machinations at a late-night TV talk show in hilariously petty detail, allowed former frequent Tonight Show guest host Garry Shandling to engage in an extended what-if scenario, and the presence of stars appearing as themselves gave the proceedings an air of self-reflexive naughtiness.
		Shandling's Larry Sanders has the quick wit necessary to compete for late-night audiences, but the show is really about his anxiety and self-doubt.
		The show's unheralded ensemble proved sensational from the start: Torn's Artie, the crafty executive producer; Jeffrey Tambor's Hank "Hey Now" Kingsley, Larry's decidedly third-rate second banana; Wallace Langham and Jeremy Piven, the show's long-suffering staff writers; Penny Johnson as Beverly Barnes, Larry's even-longer-suffering personal assistant; and Janeane Garofalo as Paula, the guest-booker.

	DVD Review - The Larry Sanders Show: The Complete First Season
		Sanders is very much the show business animal, constantly trying to balance his on and off camera personas.
		The end result was a program that actually made you feel like a fly on the wall of a major TV show, complete with a cast of unique, well rounded characters that you loved and despised all at the same time.
		There is no informative booklet provided, but there is a color leaflet, which provides episode titles and production credits for each show (be careful not to lose it, however, since there's no pocket or folder anywhere in the packaging to keep it safe).

	MTV.com - Movies - The Larry Sanders Show [TV Series]
		An unconventional behind-the-scenes sitcom based on a fictional talk show and centering on its neurotic and self-centered host, The Larry Sanders Show bravely went behind the scenes of late night television and pulled no punches with its caustic humor and often abrasive mainstay characters.
		Originally airing on HBO, the writers of The Larry Sanders Show were granted more freedom to express themselves, as well as accurately portray the often coarse backstage language, than would never be permitted on network television.
		As Artie, the producer of The Larry Sanders Show, Rip Torn frequently provided Larry and Hank with the sort of level-headed advice only a seasoned producer can offer, even if he wasn't always quite so rational and restrained when it came to some of his own personal quirks.

		Bravo shows it twice a night, and with TiVo I am now a regular viewer, and I have to say that this show is one of the best pieces of entertainment it has been my pleasure to experience.
		In the show, Larry Sanders has a talk show that competes with Leno and Letterman, complete with real guests playing themselves as if they were on a talk show.
		I mean, at some points in the show, you're watching Larry doing his show (the show within the show), and then other times you are watching the backstage/offstage stuff.
