Not Just the Best of The Larry Sanders Show
A lot of people haven't seen The Larry Sanders Show. It aired on HBO before HBO was known for its original series. The first season DVD release was botched, and there never was a second season release. It ran briefly in syndication, but that was at 1 AM on UPN and whatnot.
But it was really, truly special. Maybe The Simpsons was more important, possibly a little better. Maybe. But besides that, Larry Sanders is the best sitcom of the last 25 years. Perfectly drawn characters, hilariously funny, a truly amazing program.
You owe it to yourself and your family to at the very least buy the new DVD set, "Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show,", which was released today.
, which was released today.Or, to put it another way: if you don't buy it, we can't be friends anymore.
PS: Venture Bros. Season Two came out today as well.

I don't know, Jesse. I am a HUGE Larry Sanders Show fan, but the best sitcom of the past 25 years? Really? The Simpsons is/was great, too, but I think Seinfeld pretty much perfected it.
Jesse, I agree, but from what I've heard this DVD set might not be the best intro to the show... I think it kind of needs to be viewed in order. the characters only really work if you see the development.
Or, to put it another way: if you don't buy it, we can't be friends anymore.
If I put it in my Netflix queue can I be a well-regarded acquaintance?
