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.

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.
