Good news and horrifying rumors this week regarding “The Larry Sanders Show,” the best live-action American sitcom of all time.
The horrifying rumors are Sony Pictures cannot lock up rights to the highly-integrated music featured in loads of “Sanders” episodes - and we may never see another season-box of the series.

NOT JUST THE BEST OF THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW
The DVD Set Also Includes 23 Classic Episodes of the Emmy Award-Winning TV Program, the Documentary - "The Making of The Larry Sanders Show" - and Features Guest Appearances by Jason Alexander, Warren Beatty, Jim Carrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Sean Penn, Vince Vaughn and More
The Four-Disc DVD Collection Debuts on April 17
Culver City, Ca (February 5, 2007) - Forget about the 23 featured episodes of the Emmy Award-winning "The Larry Sanders Show" (it received a whopping 56 Emmy nominations during its run on HBO). NOT JUST THE BEST OF THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW contains more than eight hours of newly produced material that makes this not just your usual DVD - not even close! The four-disc DVD boxed set debuts on DVD on April 17 at the suggested retail price of $49.95. This innovative, provocative and hugely entertaining release includes personal, intimate, indulgent visits meant until now for only Garry Shandling to see - raw, real-life situations between Shandling and stars who appear in the featured episodes - including Alec Baldwin, Tom Petty, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, Sharon Stone and many others. These unrehearsed visits surpass even the Larry Sanders reality, as they once again explore the core ingredients of the ground-breaking program - unexpected human behavior, truth and humor.
The DVD includes the documentary, The Making of The Larry Sanders Show, which reveals an in-depth and surprising look at the process of turning a script into a show that was ahead of its time. The Los Angeles Times selected Garry Shandling’s series as one of ten TV programs that had “inarguable influence” on the industry and this DVD is a celebration of the series’ unique place in entertainment lore. NOT JUST THE BEST OF THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW also features guest appearances on the featured episodes by a wide slate of stars which includes Jim Carrey, Vince Vaughn, Warren Beatty, Sean Penn, Ellen DeGeneres, Jason Alexander, Carol Burnett and Winona Ryder. The featurette "Rip Torn and Jeffrey Tambor Visit Garry Shandling in His Living Room" is a reunion of Shandling, Torn and Tambor discussing working together on the show. Also included are interview featurettes with cast members Penny Johnson, Wallace Langham, Scott Thompson, Janeane Garofalo, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Sarah Silverman, Jeremy Piven, Bob Odenkirk, and Linda Doucett.
The Larry Sanders Show debuted on HBO August 1, 1992, and was ahead of its time, becoming an immediate critical and audience hit for its satirical, tongue-in-cheek look at Hollywood. The series that combined documentary-like camerawork with a clever blend of fact and fiction set the standard of quality for HBO and influenced the development of shows like Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Office. Over the course of its six-year, 89-episode run, the series was nominated for 56 Emmy Awards [winning three: Outstanding Writing (Shandling & Peter Tolan); Outstanding Directing (Todd Holland); Outstanding Supporting Actor (Rip Torn)]. The show also won three Golden Globe nominations, two Peabody Awards, and five CableACE Awards for Best Comedy Series.
Out This Week:
Here’s the timeline for “Anything But Love,” the first two seasons of which street this day.
Between 1978 and 1981, Jamie Lee Curtis cranked out “Halloween,” “The Fog,” “Terror Train,” “Prom Night,” and “Halloween II.”
Her next film, the 1983 blockbuster “Trading Places,” rescued her from the horror ghetto, but she followed “Trading” with a five-year streak of movies nobody saw: “Love Letters,” “Grandview USA,” “Perfect,” “Amazing Grace and Chuck,” “A Man in Love” and “Dominick and Eugene.”
“A Fish Called Wanda” swam along in 1988 and garnered more than $62 million in domestic boxoffice, and suddenly Curtis was all hot again. Unwilling to squander her new momentum, she jumped at this point that into “Anything But Love,” which teamed her with riotously funny stand-up comic Richard Lewis, who was making a name for himself via Letterman guest-shots at the time. Lewis is the reason I watched the show; I was intrigued that ABC would build a sitcom around a comic as dark and disturbed as he.
The show, though, was highly sitcommy stuff about a woman named Hannah Miller who just dumped her boyfriend and was relocating home to Chicago to pursue a career as a writer. En route, she meets the Lewis character, Marty Gold, who just happens to be a Chicago Monthly writer and knows of a research position at the magazine. She lands the job, and the two leads spend a good segment of this post-“Moonlighting” series resisting their mutual attraction.
Season one, launched March 1989, lasted six episodes and was apparently overseen by writers Dennis Koening (“M*A*S*H,” “Barney Miller”) and Wendy Kout (“Mork & Mindy”).
When the show came back the following fall for its 22-episode second season, Koenig and Kout were gone, as was a lot of the magazine’s staff. Peter Noah (“One Day at a Time,” “Alice,” “The West Wing”) was now writing the show. Chicago Monthly abruptly became Chicago Weekly, with a new owner, new writers (including a newly promoted Hannah) and a new editor played by Ann Magnuson.
By far the most vivid memory I have of the series is the guest appearance in 2.2 of 22-year-old Tia Carrere (“Wayne’s World”) as Marty Gold’s visiting teen Thailandese foster daughter Cey, who liked to cavort about Marty’s apartment in undersized tops and short shorts, sitting in laps and giving Marty and a good sampling of the ABC viewership inappropriately robust bonage.
“Anything” lasted four seasons, wrapping up just in time for Curtis to make 1994’s “True Lies” with James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger, thereby setting the stage for her to play Lindsay Lohan in “Freaky Friday.”

"Who'd he have to fuck to get this gig?"
Greatest payoff line in a sitcom ever. -
that is all.
-
I would buy every season in one fell swoop if they were available, but it looks less and less likely all the time. Such a brilliant show.
-
Hire Julie Taymor to re-dub the contentious episodes of Larry Sander with different people doing cover versions of the songs...
-
I have avi files downloaded on DVD-Rs, but I really want a proper DVD set.
-
"Makes the Ed Aames tomahawk toss look like a bucket of shit!" Damn I miss Artie...
-
Why Can't HBO get it's shit together and give us what we want - not some piss-poor attempt to appease us. Just release all six series and deal with the legal ramifications later fergawdsakes..!
-
Music licensing has always kept the show's real music out of reruns. Apparently Fox has managed to license some but not all of the correct music for DVD, and they're trying to make appropriate substitutions for the rest.
-
I noticed that's up there too. Do yourself a favour and grab that, I've had it for a while and it's hilarious, first series/season especially.
-
I need 3 episodes of that show.
Shoot me an email please
bachstarNOSPAM@yahoo.com
remove the NOSPAM
Thanks!! -
and the quality of episodes is interesting. Seasons 1 and 2 are good, and I knew they were well written, but I didn't really laugh out loud or anything, but season 3-5 things got much better in my opinion, and especially in season 6. That bit in the 2nd last episode with Brian and Phil making out is a classic.And "Flip", the last episode of this show is one of the best, well-rounded finales of a show I've ever seen, right up there with "Angel", "Arrested Development", "Sports Night", and "Cheers".The entire Jim Carrey sequence is phenomenal.

Also, that whole OJ Simpson thing with Hank and Phil...
by danielkurland
is wonderful, and Hank's subsequent, "Fuck you" KICK "Fuck you" KICK "Fuck you." He was such an asshole. How he didn't get an Emmy for him or George Bluth is beyond me.
-
I have seen that phrase used here a lot. ______ is the best "live action sitcom" of the year, or the best "live action sitcom" of all time. What the hell does that mean?
-
I didnt even see that episode but that line is going to have me laughing all day.
-
Freaking amazing show. For all you internet trollers and cube ants....thats a real job.
-
I agree with Herc, this show was just brilliant. I would disagree slightly with DanielKurland: the finale would have been better had Hanks stormed out at the end and not come back. I thought they went a little soft on him at the end. Hank going to Branson, Missouri is just genius.
-
Greetings from a guy who watched some of the first run WKRP's in elementary school, and a lot more in the later syndicated run. My friend was first aware of the discs about a month ago on another website. There will be some music changes, but it's uncertain as to how much will be replaced. Series creator, Hugh Wilson heard some of the replacement music, and was pleased with the end result. If it's like the late 90's/early 2000's butcher jobs from Nick at Nite....uugghh! Almost all of the music had been replaced. Not to mention, that some of the music was played under the disc jockeys(Dr. Fever, Venus, etc.), as they spoke their lines. So, not only did they have to replace the music, but the actors voices. It was very apparent that the actors themselves were not brought back in to re-voice their parts. And, there were songs that were crucial to specific scenes...Tiny Dancer, Hot Blooded, even little moments like Johnny playing some Pink Floyd, or the Star Wars theme during a political commercial. Those are just a few examples. I won't go in to all of the in's and out's of music licensing, and why shows like Freaks and Geeks(Thank God!) were able to be released with the original music, but shows like Dawson's Creek(who cares)couldn't be. As far as my favorite American sitcom of all time is concerned, let's just hope they've found more than a happy medium between the Nick at Nite hatchet jobs, and original episodes. With little to go on, I will make the purchase either way, to prove that there is a cult audience for WKRP on DVD. Call me crazy, but I would pay double or close to triple retail to get them with the original music, but others wouldn't. Anyway, as Les Nesman would say, "Have a good day, and may be the good news be yours!"
-
Though it's sad we won't have most of the original music, the writing and acting on this show made it one of the best sitcoms in television history. The episodes with the turkeys and the mascot fight make me giggle just thinking about them.
-
It is only 59.95 with free shipping at A&E TV.
-
60.00?? Damn. I paid the full 150.00 from Columbia a few years back. I guess good things come to those who wait. Well, it was money well spent. Oh well.
-
I think people forget the show when thinking of the best sitcoms. I remember watching it as a kid, and it held up later on in reruns. Oh, and nothing screams "foursome" as much as Charmed DVD box photos.
-
"Live action" means we're watching real actors, as opposed to animation, computer generation, or sock puppets. So shows like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Futurama don't count.
-
To get the DVDs with all of its original music I would gladly pay HBO dvd prices. Hell, I would even pay, gasp, Star Trek dvd prices. As for the music, do they need the rights if a character is simply reciting lyrics (John Lennon's Imagine)?
-
When will we get "It's Garry Shandling's Show" on dvd??? I used to love that show.I also used to love Anything But Love. I don't see myself getting the dvds though.As far as "live action," wikipedia has the answers as always --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_action

I thought turkeys could fly.
-
Any word?
-
I thought turkeys could fly.

What kind of 'completion-ist' retard actually spends $$ on shit like that? Directors commentary?? Behind the scenes as they hose off Arnold the pig?! C'mon.. its MONEY & TIME!
-
I have a friend that LOVES old TV shows, he buys stuff like that, Lucy, and Hogan's Heros I don't understand it myself...well some of it but my buddy is like obessive about it...now give me NewsRadio and Scrubs and i'm happy
-
Amen, Brother. I would spend Star Trek prices to get the original soundtrack as well.
-
...which, according to the Digital Bits, is coming later in 2007 with additional extras AND the pilot. Oh, and the new JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED set isn't "2.X"...It's actually "5.X" if you count the two JUSTICE LEAGUE seasons and the two JLU seasons, or "JLU Vol. 2" because JLU seasons 1 & 2 were already released in Vol. 1/"Season One." (SIGH) It's Warners...Whaddaya gonna do?
-
... and no longer allow performers to come on and promote their material which later will make it impossible to release the shows. whatever happened to being happy with the exposure from bands? its ungrateful and will bite them in the ass. Larry Sanders had a some artists: Jane's Addiction, Beck, Smash Mouth... and a bunch of others i cant even remember their names...
-
I had no idea there was a set of the entire run of Monty Python!!! Oh man. I'll be able to watch the fish-slapping dance as much as I want now. And I know it was already on another dvd. But I didn't want to pay for a best of and then find out about something like this. I am happy.
-
I was too busy staring at Loni Anderson's tits to notice.
-
wasnt loni anderson on that show? She was hot.
-
C'mon! Double dip Twin Peaks? C'mon!
-
while insisting he was not intoxicated, could not explain his nudity."
-
Let's hope they release the rest of the Odd Couple seasons. I much fear trouble in the fuselage, Frederick.
-
Patrick McGoohan gotta eat.
-
I agree with you regarding Hank coming back, but come on. Besides that ONE moment, was the finale not incredibly satisfying? Although this shouldn't mean much it actually won an Emmy for writing for it's last episode, which hardly ever happens. Also, I consider myself a pretty big South Park fan, but WHY is that the cover for season 9? Were the Broncos even featured? And even if they were, they could have still come up with something better.
-
Tragic. Lovitz has no comedic talent at all, but there are hilarious episodes despite of it "White Noise"
Still wish they had just done a one episode finale after the loss of Hartman. -

oh okay, so we are now distinguishing between cartoons
by cotton mcknight
and "live action"? This begs the question, what cartoon could possible be ranked in the top 5 sicoms of all time? Top 10? You MIGHT be able to make a case for the Simpsons cracking the top 15, but don't you dare put it above 10. In other words, the moniker "best live action sitcom" is horseshit. Stop saying that.
-
here are ten sitcoms that are easily better than the simpsons (or any other cartoon sitcom). In no particular order: Andy Griffith Show, Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore, All in the Family, Cheers, WKRP in Cincinnati, MASH, Seinfeld, Bob Newhart Show, Larry Sanders. That was just off the top of my head, too. So please, STOP saying "live action"!
-
... because I love the show. And Eva Gabor is yummylicious.
But the main reason I buy them is to annoy jerks like you. -
I don't get it. They released the entire first season on DVD. I thought that sales were less than stellar which was why they didn't release the rest.
If the show was being made today there wouldn't be a problem with HBO releasing them all on DVD. What the difference? They could have just as well come out on tape if we still used that medium *shudder*. -
I will buy any and all Larry sets...
-
"It’s not a season set, but there’s no way to keep us comedy nerds away from it."......bullshit. watch me.

The Episodes listed there make this seem like it could be a pretty satisfying compromise for the lack of publishing that seems bizarre seeing as how we all own seasons of shit noone's ever heard of and see miles of it in Walmart and Best Buy's often disappointing selection. "What are you gonna do after this Larry? Movies? I'll crush you" Simply the best line of dialogue Jim Carrey has ever spoken.

The hilarious Thanskgiving Day episode of WKRP is based on something that really happened, apparently. I worked with a news anchor who worked for the guy who organized the promotion.

I too would pay top dollar for the original versions of this. I loved Venus teaching the kid about Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons, I loved the episode about tornados and the bomb scare. Heck, I loved it when they all went to a porn theater to chat with Herb and got busted. The show is amazing! And of course flying turkeys is a legend. I'll pick up this set and hopefully I am not upset with the music changes.

Yeah, and what's more, it sorta came to pass!
Shandling has the Bill Cosby movie curse (and even the Cos had success in the 60s/70s). -
The original two seasons are floating around as torrents. From the rainbow shimmer on one, I think they're transfers from someone's VHS recordings. Don't feel bad about downloading -- they'll never release the originals again.
