The Larry Sanders Show (1992–1998)
Ok, just watch it and see
12 July 2003
The first show to make fun of, and explain variety talk shows. Gary Shandling is the host, and has an array of producers and writers that work for him, just like in real life. This show goes where others do not. It is not affraid to offend. One of the fresh things about this show is that there are no added laughs generated by the editing, whereas other TV shows actually "tell" the viewer when and when not to laugh, even if the joke is not funny.

I have never seen any show like this, everything works, and you cannot go a full five minutes without laughing or being entertained. It is amazing how they got all the guest stars to come on the show just like real variety shows. Even though Larry Sanders is a satire, it is still funnier than Jay Leno and Kraig Kilborn.

The characters are one of a kind, and their dialogue is unedited. It makes you feel like you are watching real people deal with comical situations, nobody can resist this show. Jeffery Tambor and Gary Shandling are just genuinely funny people to watch for hours on end.
