I always thought was one of most underrated shows of all time. Surprised to see Larry Sanders consensus #1 show of all time on metacritic. Gonna binge watch it's been years.

only line I can remember from the Larry Sanders Show was Artie lookin out the window with gary, lookin' at their sex addicted comedy writer bangin' some bitch in a convertible (the writer was played by the same guy who plays the obnoxious agent in Entourage).... nevertheless, as Larry and Artie are watching, Artie says "IF HE penetrates HER ANY HARDER, HE'S GONNA BLOW THE TIRES OUT....."

LOVED THAT SHOW..... really liked odenkirk as Larry's agent..... he was young and full of energy, making himself look really old these days on "Better Call Saul"

many of these deaths linked to past drug/liquor abuse

If that's true I'm more screwed than I thought.

I haven't heard or read any of the details.... but thought he might still be hovering blow and blew his heart up..... my wife said something about him having called 911 himself.....

my first thought was he might have f'd up doing that auto-asphyxiation jerkoff routine, but as for now I'm merely speculating.... anyone have the details?

Just brilliant writing. Any anything with Rip Torn is funny. Love this part where they try and get Shatner to say the word Klingon. "DeForest Kelly and I had some problems"

Just watched the first 2 episodes, season 1.
23 minutes of hilarity.

Think this show pioneered the "uncomfortable" comedy that we see EVERYWHERE nowadays.

That show was damn good. I saw him on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and he was still sharp.

66 is too young.
