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.

I meant Stevie. I think you misread my post.

jouster u mad. i mean i get both characters are supposed to be based on ari emanuel but bob's is probably too goofy?

xpost oh, duh. I guess I said Bob and you said Bob and so I somehow got it all mixed up. I know what you mean - I kinda feel that way about Hank (a little).

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
yes!
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.

There are heaps, but it's not clear if it has (all of) the same ones as the Best Of set - at least some of Shandlings re-visits to cast are in there tho

Do you know if thre are extras that weren't included on the Best Of collection?
― Doc Momus (stevie), Saturday, 30 October 2010 15:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I've been working my way through the box set (link above)--finished season two last night. Spooky: John Ritter, Gene Siskel, and Warren Zevon all on the same episode. Utterly brilliant: Hank at the end of the Eric Bogosian episode, where he believes that Bogosian's character (Stan, Larry's old partner in a comedy duo) is dead, even though Stan's suicide attempt was in fact botched.

is there a uk version of it? i had a look on amazon and it was 116 quid for a us version, i guess my xbox prob plays us dvds but that price is hefty too, i could download for at most half that price, possibly a lot less.

Artie is just consistently great. From the "Hank's Wedding" episode, when Hank is shocked that Artie's figured out he wants to have the wedding on air: "Hank, I keep telling you--I can see right into your soul."

I had to go on hiatus from the box set for a couple of weeks, but I just finished the episode where Hank guest-hosts (Season 3), and I don't know if the show ever had a better one.
Darlene: "I'm doing some creative visualization, and I'm seeing the audience screaming with laughter!"Artie: "I've seen the same thing, Darlene--thank you for explaining the screaming."

That's one of my favorites as well.
The way Hank becomes really smug with Larry and the crew after the first show is especially great.
― Cunga, Sunday, 19 December 2010 19:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Hank's post-show smugness is so off the chart, it's actually hard to watch; even before I started the episode, I got this queasy feeling remembering what a train-wreck he was. Another favorite line from Artie, when Hank breaks down crying just before he goes on air: (as only Artie can deliver it) "Should I be concerned?"
― clemenza, Sunday, 19 December 2010 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
that might be my favourite episode. at least as good as hank's sex tape.

All the best episodes are Hank related, aren't they? I like the one where they have to do a show without Hank and realize his value to the show.
