[SirSlim]

Genius.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Very Sad News. I used to watch the show he did before 'Larry Sanders' where he used to break the 'fourth wall'. 'Its Gary Shandling' or some such, too lazy to google, was very young. We thought he was a huge talent then. He cant have been that old very early 60's?

I enjoyed the hour long show with 'Ricky Gervais' he did, talk about awkward he made Mr Gervais look like a total buffoon in my opinion anyway. Very clever and funny man and a master of his artform. RIP Gary.

I watched that too but "Larry Sanders" is the masterpiece.

Wasn't that just called The Gary Shandling Show ? I seem to remember a theme which only had the line 'This is the Gary Shandling Show' repeated over and over. I'm going to drift off into a telly reverie now.

You might be right there mate 'Sean Hughes' pretty much ripped it off for his debut sitcom and I seem to remember a similar thing with that with that theme tune.

Your'e right SirSlim, no argument from me.

Crikey. Just had a 'whatever happened to him' moment there.
