I picked up Season 1 of Larry Sanders the other day and I can't believe how good this show is. It's like Curb Your Enthusiasm's older, smarter brother. It's almost criminal NOT to watch this show.
I'd caught it before on TV, but usually in the middle of an episode, and this is one show that plays VERY badly if you catch it in the middle of an episode, but plays brilliantly if you watch it from the beginning.
The comedy is so character based its fantastic (it's not as much of a satire some people seem to think it is). Anyways, enough of my rambling. I'm so pleased with Season 1, my question is: When are we getting season 2?
I can't wait to pick these up!

Re: Larry Sanders: Season Two?
It seems that Season 1 was re-released to coincide with "Not Just The Best Of" and that Shandling has stated that Season 2 is on its way!

Maybe we should start emailing Sony?

Argh... Wrote this by accident. Don't know how to delete!
So, um. Would be people be interested in popping an email off to Sony if it was all written for them and there was an email address?

Re: Larry Sanders: Season Two?
Given the lack of news, it couldn't hurt. I'll look into it!

Considering the fact that Sony's new thing is to drop everything to pick up long-abandoned series, this might have a chance after all.

Re: Larry Sanders: Season Two?
Any news on the release of this, the best comedy series ever made?

Well according to the Digital Bits,
It's Garry Shandling is being released in its entirety on DVD... where's Larry Sanders? :(

No, no, no. That's all nonsense. Shandling did not block the release of the other DVDs. He was involved with the release of the series on DVD after Season 1. He decided (in a misjudged attempt at getting the series some attention) to do a "Best of..." with a huge amount of Special Features that he filmed. When that didn't sell too well, Sony put the whole thing on ice.
Here's an article about the "Best Of" boxset:
http://www.avclub.com/articles/not-just-the-best-of-the-larry-sanders-show,7876/
"Shandling insists that more
Larry Sanders Show DVDs are coming, and the season-one set has been stealthily re-issued, with season two reportedly on the way."
I want all those extras, but I want them with the entire series, too :(

It is not absurd at all and not outside the realm of possibilities. The original version of the Star Wars Trilogy, anyone? And where TV is concerned, Mike Judge has said that 1/3 of the episodes of Beavis and Butt-head will never be available per his request because he hates them.
I will continue to blame "big bad Sony" because it is still big, it is still bad, and it charged more for this show than anyone was willing to pay when you consider the reprehensibly bad picture quality.

I'm afraid I agree with David Rain... it's crystal clear that Garry Shandling is very proud of Larry Sanders. While it's not "outside the realm of possibility", it's highly unlikely at best... especially considering the quote I pulled and the massive amount of time and effort Shandling put into the "best of" boxset.

No one ever said he was ashamed of the show as a whole, just certain episodes.

Yeah, I'd agree with that... sadly. I hope they figure it out soon enough... Hard to believe "Garry Shandling's Show" (which wasn't bad or anything) is out, but Larry Sanders isn't :(
