It's Garry Shandling's Show: Season One

In 1986 Garry Shandling was poised to become a permanent guest host on Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show. Instead, he took a chance on an offer from fledgling cable network Showtime to create his own television series. No questions asked. A surreal look at the daily life of a young single man who is a comedian, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show was not a typical sitcom. 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.
