A surreaI Iook at the daiIy life of a young singIe man who is a comedian, lt's Garry ShandIing's Show was not a typical sitcom: ShandIing wouId break the "fourth waIl" to incIude the studio audience and the viewers at home in on the actual making of the show. Experimenting with the sitcom form meant inviting the audience onto the set, playing with the passage of time and generaIly expIoding the genre and making art of the debris.
Teaming up with Saturday Night Live's Alan Zweibel, the two men "put on a fourth-grade pIay" every week for four seasons. With a crew of taIented young writers (incIuding Tom GammilI and Max Pross, who would go on to write SeinfeId and produce The Simpsons, and Ed Solomon, who wrote Men ln BIack), teIevision history was made. Season One guest stars incIude Red Buttons, Rob Reiner and Vanna White.
From its unforgettabIe theme song to its closing credits, lt's Garry ShandIing's Show was award-winning, mind-bending teIevision, and its influence is clearIy seen in the best TV comedies through the decades to foIlow. |
