I'm 43.......Anyone here my age? This show wound up being one of the greatest shows on TV! Can't believe I haven't thought about it in years! Here we go again. 😂
Wow, we just finished watching The Larry Sanders Show. That was a riot! I remember this show, but never or don't remember watching it. I do remember the theme song, though. It was cute and catchy.
I remember being very young and enjoying this. I think I got into it because a lot of kids shows at the time had the characters talking directly to the camera, so it felt perfectly natural.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve watched all Garry’s standup twice, every Larry episode 10x, and finally diving in to this! Ive only seen the Christmas episode before, heartwarming.
So great to see this again. All I have is hazy memories of when this originally was airing on Showtime. Mid-viewing it dawned on me how much this show may have been a template for Seinfeld. I saw parallels with Elaine and George but alas there was no Kramer. Then Louis (SP?) shows up. OMG I'm floored!
I never had Showtime, but I remember watching these every week. I looked it up and Fox reran them on Sunday nights, so I watched them on regular antenna TV. I really enjoyed the meta humor and in particular I loved the theme song. Sometimes I just watched that part and turned it off.
If this show had been on primetime 3-network TV(had the censors not been so archaic), instead of squirreled away on Showtime, it would have changed the entire format of stand-up comics doing sitcoms. The show is a brilliant fusing of a very well-written sitcom, Garry's stand-up routine, and seamlessly doing both while breaking the 4th wall/keeping the actors in character perfectly.
@@1voiceCriesOut You might have got lucky and had it syndicated to a local non-cable channel in your area. But it would have to have been heavily censored, as it was made to be on Showtime and had lots of sexual innuendo, etc. My brother used to trade Beta tapes with kids at his HS that taped Garry's show off Showtime, then we watched the tapes.Kind of amazing anyone would have gone to such trouble to watch a show but, imo it was that good.
@@LaurenForeverHomeRescue No, Fox did a deal and it was nation-wide. Sundays at 9 or 9:30. They advertised it a lot. Back then Fox's big idea was to be edgy and do material the big three wouldn't do. But that's why it was on late night on Sundays, also, to avoid scrutiny from the censors. They probably did cut stuff out since they had to fit it into 23 minutes vs the theoretical 30 minutes that Showtime could air without advertising.

I remember the theme song and I remember my dad was watching it one night on Fox. I am also 43 years old
@RobertHustwick Yeah, That's basically how I started watching it myself Lol

That is Molly Cheek from the TV Show Harry & The Hendersons!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for uploading! I have wanted to see this
this upscale is so unsettling i kind of love it
I like the Gary's standing Show especially the thing😅
Very unique.
Reruns were shown on Fox
the show is almost 40 years old. the material is timeless, not at all dated. and i think it's because of garry's honest & open type performing
RIP TO THE LEGENDARY GARRY SHANDLING

Wasn't itnon Fox in the 80s? I use to watch it then...we didn't have cable.

Soo, uhh, any chance of uploading the original, none-upscaled versions of these?
Garry Shandling. A complicated, terrible man.
