A surreal Iook at the daiIy life of a young singIe man who is a comedian, lt's Garry Shandling's Show was not a typical sitcom: Shandling would break the "fourth walI" to include the studio audience and the viewers at home in on the actuaI making of the show. Experimenting with the sitcom form meant inviting the audience onto the set, playing with the passage of time and generally exploding 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 GammiII and Max Pross, who wouId go on to write Seinfeld and produce The Simpsons, and Ed SoIomon, who wrote Men In Black), television history was made. Season One guest stars include Red Buttons, Rob Reiner and Vanna White.
From its unforgettable theme song to its cIosing credits, It's Garry Shandling's Show was award-winning, mind-bending television, and its infIuence is clearly seen in the best TV comedies through the decades to folIow. |
