The Larry Sanders Show is one of the funniest and most influential television shows, and it looks like a piece of shit. Not that it bothers me.

I don’t think it had the stylistic care that is present in shows on HBO (and many other networks) now, but that shouldn’t detract from its overall quality. It will go down as one of the best shows of all time, even if it wasn’t directed by Terrence Malick.
