It's all down to music rights, dude. Although I'd honestly be okay with them cutting the musical numbers if it meant the whole series would be available for purchase.

Yes to this times a billion zillion. Any show where Hank Kingsley is the second best character is a show to be treasured for the ages.

Actually, I go back and forth between Hank and Artie. The three dudes, though, are just next-level amazing together. I can't say it enough.

There's no way Artie is better than Hank. And i love Artie. Hank is a tragicomic figure for the ages.

Hank is actually my third favorite character! No one seems to agree, but I really think Larry is great, and not just in a "necessary for the other characters to work" way (as in other shows). I got my girlfriend hooked on the show just recently, and re-watching has confirmed to me that Artie is the greatest.
― Jouster, Monday, 21 December 2009 04:54 (fourteen years ago) link
Hank was my favourite character for the first 2 or maybe 3 seasons, then I found him to slide a bit more to being a bit caricatured in his foibles/being an ass (and honestly, annoying at times). Hence Artie took his spot, and he stands to this day a landmark in great TV characters: never a dull moments and always top notch. I can recall reading an Artie quote in the newspaper, before I'd seen the episode it quoted, and having Artie's voice and delivery perfect in my head (just say to yourself now: "Ahhh, Rip Torn of the great Larry Sanders Show", he needs no antics or caricaturizations, he's just a great capital-c Character if there ever was such a thing.

Also, did anyone else develop a distinct subconscious ripping off of Larry's joke-style/delivery after watching this. I know I did.

I don't feel like reading over this whole thread (which I didn't know existed), so I may repeat something said above. This was my favourite TV show ever. In the annals of showbiz creeps, Bob Odenkirk's Stevie Grant was good enough for The Sweet Smell of Success. My number-one favorite line was Hank's response in the hallway when Larry introduces him to "Elvis" (Costello): "I don't think so..." Second favourite was Arty's description (in the Wu-Tang episode) of Lenny Kravitz as being only "half-urban" (exaggerated upper-class pronunciation of "half").

Isn't Bob doing the same agent that Jeremy Piven is supposedly doing on Entourage? I, obviously, prefer Bob's take.
― Jouster, Saturday, 17 April 2010 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe this is because I've thoroughly watched Mr Show and have gotten sick of Bob Odenkirk, but he always struck me as one of the lesser characters on the show. I mean he was pretty good in the first few seasons, but then he just got kind of annoying, and his acting seemed to decline too, in that kind of over the top Bob Odenkirk way.
Although, then again, I think most characters wear away with age, except Artie of course, who is very much like a the finest of wines, ripens with age, is perennially classy, etc.

xpost Referring to Bob Odenkirk the person as a 'character' is odd, but if you think he's lost it or something, check out his performance on Breaking Bad. Probably his best work, and a great show.

great scene: hank all bronzed up doing his prince charles imitation
― sonderangerbot, Sunday, 18 April 2010 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, I feel the same way about Hank too. somewhere along the way he turns from a lovable goof from lovably irritating goof, to irritating goof (that's still funny, just maybe a bit too incorrigible).
To speak of another great Hank scene: the scene with Harvey Fierstein was one about which I had a phase for a week of almost compulsively rewatching.
― Tonight I Dine on Turtle Soup (EDB), Sunday, 18 April 2010 21:05 (fourteen years ago) link
the scene where larry and hank have a chat in the car after larry abandoned the show for a bit is amazing. "listen...larry boy!"
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Monday, 19 April 2010 15:11 (fourteen years ago) link

and the scene where hank and artie get drunk, and hank is all woozy from piercing his own ear, and they accost larry for planning to quit the show...

Hank's fits are great because they capture the comic-pathetic quality that exists in most real life outbursts.
