Shandling had the weirdest humor - in a good way!

Groundbreaking TV from a comedian who unfortunately is unlikely to get his due with younger audiences. Hilarious. Watch it.

Sardonic comedy tries to be an alternative to standard sitcoms. RIP Torn who was half crazed in real life adds some variety to the craziness

It’s considered one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, and has inspired so many shows since for very good reasons. Sensational, great!

Hey now! The best original comedy that HBO has produced, & I’m including Curb on that list. That’s how good TLSS actually is.
