Ik heb deze serie net uit. De vorige oude serie die ik heb gekeken was Seinfeld, en ik moet zeggen dat deze serie minstens zo goed is. De driehoek van interacties tussen Larry, zijn side-kick en zijn producer zijn briljant en geweldig geschreven.
Deze show was een van Ricky Gevais' inspiratie bronnen. Ricky heeft de hoofdrolspeler en schrijver van deze serie, stand-up comedian Garry Shandling, een keer geinterviewd, en dat interview was zo bizar dat ik deze serie wel moest kijken.
Het is makkelijk te vinden via de bekende kanalen dus er is geen enkele reden om hier niet naar te kijken.

The Larry Sanders Show is a
satirical television sitcom that aired from August 1992 to May 1998 on the HBO cable television network in the United States. It starred stand-up comedian Garry Shandling as
vain, neurotic talk show host Larry Sanders, and centered on the running of his TV show, and the many people behind the scenes. It is notable for featuring celebrities playing exaggerated, self-parodying versions of themselves, and for its character-based humor. Other series which subsequently aired on HBO, such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, and Entourage, shared these traits.
The series, in which Shandling used his experience as a guest host on The Tonight Show, is ranked by various critics and fans as one of the best TV comedies of the 1990s. The series ranked #38 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time, the only HBO comedy to make the list. It was also included in Time magazine's list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time."
The show won 24 major awards, including
three Primetime Emmy Awards, five CableACE Awards, four American Comedy Awards, two British Comedy Awards, a BAFTA Award and a Satellite Award. It also received 86 nominations, including
56 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, five Directors' Guild of America nominations, six Writers' Guild of America nominations, six American Comedy Awards nominations, three Golden Globe nominations, three Satellite Awards nominations and a GLAAD Award nomination.
