Netflix: The Larry Sanders Show: Season 1

All four seasons are streamable!

For those who don’t know: In real life, Garry Shandling was on the shortlist to get Jonny Carson’s seat on the Tonight Show. Once Leno got it, Garry started this series about making a late night talk show.

Very meta, very funny. With lots of great hairstyles and clothes from the early 1990s! Also a great cast that includes Jeffrey Tambor (who plays his sidekick and also starred in Arrested Development) and Janeane Garofalo.

Here’s the blurb from Netflix:

This award-winning comedy show ran from 1992 to 1998 and relentlessly skewers the talk show industry with wit, ingenuity and biting humor. Featuring Garry Shandling as the sheltered host, Jeffrey Tambor as his insecure sidekick, Rip Torn as Larry’s gruff producer, and a slew of celebrity guests, the talk show that airs is the least of the fun. The real laughs are in the crew’s interactions while the camera’s not rolling.
