TV: The Larry Sanders Show - 2nd Season (1993)

DVD: 3 Discs


Review: The rest of the seasons are finally being released. "Larry's Agent", "Artie's Gone" and "Broadcast Nudes" are some of the highlight episodes. There are a lot more celebrity guest stars this season. The bonus features on these DVDs are great.

Quotes:
"Lord, we thank thee for sparing the life of Larry Sanders... I first met Larry in the Spring of 1985. My cruise liner was moored off the coast of Portugal, I think..."
"AMEN!"
"Hank? Hank?"
"Yeah, Buddy?"
"Get the fuck off my bed."

"No more single dates. No more double dates. No more dates!"
"Okay, you're right, no more women. But listen to this, my place in Malibu, just you and me, no chicitas. A few glasses of port, some fine cubanos and maybe, I don't know, a couple of porno tapes..."
"Hank, about a ball game. How about that?"

"You just gave Michael Ovitz the finger. What's wrong with you?"
"Stop, he didn't even see it."
"He didn't need to see it. He can feel it. He is an agent. You know how many times he gets flipped off behind his back in a given week. He's sitting there right now, going 'Wow! Somebody just flipped me off.' It comes from deep down in those guys."

"There's something I did and I want you to tell me it wasn't a mistake."
"That's my job."
"Good."

"You're a hundred percent right. From the time he walked out, all I saw was him fucking my wife. And she was on top!"
"That lazy bastard! I am going to get rid of him now before something ugly happens."
"Artie, I'm fine. I'm a professional."

"C'mon, take a message. 'Well sir, thank you, but I'm a visionary so I'd like you to take your opinion and shove it right up your ass. Regards, Hank Kingsley.' Fax that back to him."

"You agent called."
"He always calls when I'm on the air."
"He'll call back."
"Yeah, he'll call me back tomorrow night when I'm on the air. Trick him, put him through tomorrow night."

"I am not going to be exploited and used!"
"C'mon Darlene! This is Playboy we're talking about. We're not talking about Hustler or Penthouse or Swank or Juggs or Screw..."
"Shhhh! Hey, you promised me that you'll keep this very low profile."
"I am."
"Ah, bullshit! Shouting out the names of some of this country's finest men's publications outside the ladies' crapper is not low profile."

"Phil, shut the fuck up!"
"Artie, Please! I'll handle it. Phil... shut the fuck up."

"Has Larry ever been romantically involved with any of the guests?"
"What the fuck kind of question is that? Do you think we have been busting our balls, doing 1,400 shows, so Larry can get laid? Believe me, if Larry Sanders wanted to fuck talent, he would have been an agent."

5 out of 5 Stars
