VH1 Classic started showing this at the beginning of the month. I've been watching it and it is hysterical. Hank Kingsley is hilarious, always cracking me up when he has his assistant(?) go to Larry's office to tell him that Hank wants to see him. :lol:

Saw this one last night.

    I LOVED this show!

    And it's on Netflix, if you have it (agree with norm, gotta get it uncensored).

    Rip Torn played a badass character, to a tee.

    (and I'll say that "It's the Garry Shandling Show" is also among the best and most creative...great theme song too :D )

    :lol: It's funny you posted that because I watched that one tonight. I love Hank's line at the end of that scene: "Wow, I thought I had a hairy ass." :lol::lol::lol:

    I know it's a show I can't watch edited, but it's on and I've been dying to watch it. I'm thinking of buying the series set. I wish I had Netflix so I can watch it uncensored but I don't.

    Did Jeffery Tambor win an Emmy or a Golden Globe for his role as Hank?

    Wow. A damn shame. From the first 8 episodes I've watched, he is hilarious.

    All day at work today I kept thinking about Hank's Thoughts and couldn't stop laughing. My manager was looking at me weird because I couldn't stop laughing.

    Just started the second season. Good show. Funny.

    Would you folks say it gets better as it goes on? I am not exactly blown away at this point.

    In rereading my post I think it can be misconstrued as if I don't like it. I do. I just do not find myself laughing out loud often yet. 

    Hank is fantastic.

    Rip Torn was the shit in his role too. Plus he just had a badass (real) name.

    Yeah, I think it is a character driven comedy and just like all of the good ones you need to get pretty deep into it.
    I put it in the category of..
    Seinfeld
    Sunny
    Office
    Parks
    Community
    Letterkenny
    Arrested
    The league


    Shows like that.  It is funny....but once you know the different characters well I think it gains a whole different appreciation.

    Apropos of nothing, I always thought clothes hung really well on Garry...his frame.

    Larry David has it too.

    Seinfeld's in its own category. Other than that, I see what you're saying here. Really enjoying season 2 now.

    Yeah, Seinfeld is the one to set the bar.
    When you get to the "big boy & the pump" episode let me know what the title is, want to watch that again.  
    Hank is a master.

    I've been rewatching this show. I forgot how much I love it.
