Wiki in telling false information shocker, huh? Still, if it makes people go in search of a REAL sitcom, then it's all good.

Been too long without a bump this thread.

According to wiki, there are free episodes of it available on crackle. So if you've yet to see it, get watching. I think I might stick it in from the start and watch a few a night. Thanks again goes to the hooded one.

One of the pleasures of this place for me has always been discovering new stuff through recommendations from people whose taste you admire, and hopefully returning the favour by helping those people to find new material they grow to love.

THIS SHOW IS A WORK OF DEATHLESS GENIUS. WATCH IT, or forever be a jamook.

Why oh why do they not do a box set of the entire series that is viewable in region 2

Amazed there's not a thread on this already.

In my opinion, over six series one of the very greatest sitcoms ever written. Shoulder-to-shoulder with anything you care to mention and heads above most.

Apart from Garstonite, any other fans in?

i think its possibly the best comedy series that's ever been on tv. i ADORE the larry sanders show.

did they ever sort the dvds out or is it still enmeshed in legal bullshit?

i believe there's been some sort of legal dispute that's kept things tied up.

a modern tragedy.

Almost exactly a fragment of conversation I had with Ms Tsar last night, but with humour and pathos.

Isn't it time this great show was repeated in its entirety?

Watched the whole thing through from the start again last month, pure quality.

Great news. Anyone know whether they are editing the music out then? I recall the rights to the songs featured were the reason for the hold up.

Absolutely loved this show, and I was also a big fan of the Garry Shandling Show before it. He's like the bastard lovechild of Jerry Seinfeld and Woody Allen. Just enough of that subtle mix of comic flair and Jewish neuroses

It's not the first time for Rip Torn. And in other TornTrivia, he was the original choice for the part in Easy Rider eventually taken by Jack Nicholson.

Garstonite · « **Reply #101 on:** March 5, 2010, 03:18:13 pm »

Rip Torn. What a fucking God. Love the episode where he gets pissed after everyone has left. He probably insisted on method acting.

Look out for footage of the fight he had with Norman Mailer, it's probably on youtube. Handbags at dawn it ain't.

There's a story in Easy Riders, Raging Bulls where Dennis Hopper pulls a knife on Rip and lunges at him during an argument.

Rip won that particular argument but lost the acting job. (I think it said that Rip was an ex-marine, but I could be wrong).

yeah heard that think hopper stated on Jay Leno Show that Rip pulled a knife on him, Rip filed for defamation and won $1m in damages but Jack Nicholson was recast in Torns place.

On January 29, 2010, Torn was arrested after breaking into a closed Litchfield Bancorp branch office in Salisbury, Connecticut; Torn maintains a residence in the town. He was charged with carrying a firearm without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, second-degree criminal trespassing and third-degree criminal mischief.

On February 1, 2010 Rip Torn appeared in court. His attorney, A. Thomas Waterfall, told the judge that his client needed help with his alcohol abuse and that he could start treatment immediately in New York state. Torn was released on $100,000 bail. As a condition of his release, the judge said Torn must be evaluated for substance abuse.

Can't be arsed waiting for the dvd. Plus doubt I'll be able to get it straight away, it'll be like £120 before postage from America. Downloading season 1. I've only ever seen the episodes which appear in the "The Best Of" and "Not Just The Best Of" dvds. I cannot wait for this. I love this show to bits and as previously said Rip Torn is an utter legend.

Garstonite · « **Reply #107 on:** August 24, 2010, 05:32:49 pm »

Just seen that S2 will be available on DVD in October. I have them all thanks to Mr Claw (who is unfortunately absent from these boards recently

) but they have to be in the collection. They must sit on the elite shelf.

Garstonite · « **Reply #108 on:** August 25, 2010, 12:43:15 pm »

I'd always written off The Garry Shandling Show from the short clips I had seen presuming it would come across as very outdated now. I was wrong. My God it is good.

It's the trusty old rapidshare account bearing fruit again. Terrific investment. Not great for the old bandwidth, mind.

Genius.

Time to re-watch some classic episodes methinks. Might start with the ones featuring Linda Doucett as an "added bonus".
