RIP Garry Shandling

Garry Shandling, inventive TV comedian, dead at 66 - CNN.com

2016 is being quite the fucktard.

Ah, fuck. I used to watch The Gary Shandling Show all the time when I was a kid. R.I.P

What the fuck? 2016 sucks.

RIP to a unique funnyman who, for me, did self-loathing humor better than Seinfeld or Larry David.

The Larry Sanders Show is a goddam classic.

I used to watch Garry Shandling show when the BBC showed it after midnight with Seinfeld, and then on Paramount who showed it at a decent time.

Watched Larry Sanders quite a bit too.

I'm pretty sure they used to show it around 6PM when it first came out, I remember watching it with my mum and she thought it was funny too.

Maybe it was repeats I was watching.

Seasons 1 and 2 of the show were aired in the UK on BBC2 over three series from 1987 to 1990. The airdates did not follow the original episode sequence. An initial series of 10 episodes aired on Sunday nights at 18:50 BST from July 5 to September 20, 1987. Two further episodes were aired on November 19 and December 3, 1987. A second series of 8 episodes, drawn from the end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2 was shown on Tuesday nights at around 22:20 BST from May 31 to August 2, 1988. A Christmas special was shown on Christmas Eve 1989, preceding a third and final series, returned to Sunday nights at 18:10 GMT, which ran February 18 to April 15, 1990.

Porbably wasn't watching it when I was eight...

I only thought there was only one season, so after they moved it to late night I probably never caught it again.
