The sharpness of the writing and the crispness of the acting demonstrate that cable's best situation comedy has lost none of its bite as it begins its fourth season. [19 Jul 1995]

Second-funniest show on American television in 1995 after The Simpsons. THIS is the one HBO comedy that stands with their classic dramas.

This show induced many emotions in my heart, ranging from love, sympathy and dissapointmnt. Death to this show. The show is boring, convoluted and downright bad.

This twisted comedy of Tinseltown manners - so wicked insidey and sharply observed - shines through brilliantly here. "Larry Sanders" is arch TV about craven TV with no pretensions - if such a thing is possible, and it obviously is. [18 Jul 1995]

The Larry Sanders Show contains some of the most witty moments in television history. Studded with exceptional cameos and performances, one can find true humor in almost every turn during every episode.

I'm not sure what the low user score votes are about, but I'd suspect they are from people who have not seen the show. The Larry Sanders show is some of the wittiest, smart comedy to ever grace the television. It was the upstart of Judd Apatow (with great writing/producing) as well some of the best guest spots by celebrities portraying themselves. The Arty character is hilarious and the show is super engaging. I recommend giving it a shot!
