I know people said they didnt release this show on dvd but doesn anyone have all the episodes on video or know where to find them i would pay anything to have all the episodes on anything thanks

season 1 is on DVD, but nothing after that

but is it watchable coz i was told the quality was bad so they didnt bring out the other seasons. is there a plan to do so coz i would buy all of them . how can we convince them to bring out all of the seasons

Reruns are starting from season 1 this week. Get your tivos ready.

The quality of the 1st season is fine, very watchable. If a low quality 1st season kept them from releasing following seasons then most shows would never see a season 2 release.

On what channel?

I disagree. The video quality of that box set is horrendous. I know the show has an intentionally grainy and video-ish look, but the compression work is terrible. The show looks better in reruns.

I believe it is syndicated. Check local listings.

This always comes around whenever HBO releases a 1st season. Most of their 1st seasons were made on the cheap, and look this way. To say that it's unwatchable is a bit over the top at best. As for syndicated reruns, the show's been cut to hell. While still funny, much is missing and Arty's tendency to bluntness and swearing a blue streak is missed. I'll take the uncut Season 1 set over reruns any day.

As I said, the reruns of the same episodes look better (content of those episodes being a separate topic). This disproves your point about HBO's low budget for first seasons being the culprit. The show always looked grainy, but bad compression work just exacerbates the problem.

Is the show being rerun on HBO? Or is it being rerun unedited? Any cuts to the show will ruin it for me.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done in a grand DVD box set style yet. It was one of the best shows of the '90s. It deserves to have a great DVD release.

The only reruns right now are syndicated locally. And they are edited.

"Edited" is certainly a word you could use. I prefer "butchered." Some of them are not even just censored, many have small segments removed.

I believe I read that low sales are what has killed the release of this. It's really frustrating as I thought the first season was excellent, and I've been told subsequent seasons are even better. Between this and Twin Peaks many of us have really been left hanging.

Actually, it doesn't. For syndication the shows have to meet certain A/V standards and are reprocessed for video, graininess taken out. If you've noticed, the show in reruns is softer looking and this is why. When Sex In the City hits syndication soon you'll see it looks the same way.

The DVD sets for both these shows are not reprocessed and have the same graininess, which can cause a bad picture depening on how your player deals with the image.

But, I think we just need to agree to disagree.

I will be glad to disagree with you, because you are flat-out wrong. The grain on the DVDs does not look like film grain, or even video noise. It's compression grain. The macroblocking and posterization are also not a part of the original photography. It's bad DVD mastering quality.

ebay usually has Emmy screeners available for purchase, not many episodes though.

I completely agree with Josh. Even before i got a high definition TV and was watching the first season I picked up on my SD 27" Sony, I was terribly frustrated by the terrible picture quality and after watching the set once, never watched it again, because the video quality is sooooo bad.

It really irritates me when studios will put out a sub-par product, charge too much for it and then practically blame the customers when their product doesn't sell well. It's criminal that the rest of The Larry Sanders Show may never see the light of day on DVD, but if it ever does, I sure hope they treat it with better care than they did with Season One. It's a great show and deserves better than it got.

I too agree. Season 1 looks bad on DVD. Compression artifacts being the culprit. Ironically the scenes that take place on video look great, it's the grainy film scenes (the bulk of the show) that has alot of compression artifacts. Columbia Tri-Star seems to release alot of DVDs poorly mastered. Let's hope they fix this problem when they release Seinfeld later this year, or not many people will be very happy. As far as Larry Sanders is concerned, I actually hope they sell the property to an independent who could release the rest of the series and maybe they will master the picture with better care.

I'd rather them release the other seasons with shitty transfer, than not release them at all.

Ever since watching "The Office", I've been jonesing for the Larry Sanders show. Both classics.

Josh Z, out of curiosity, what TV and player are you using, and how are they hooked up?

Denon DVD-1600 player and an NEC LT-240 DLP projector. Connected via component to an iScan-HD video scaler, which is in turn connected to the projector by VGA cable.

OK, you win then. You're going to see the worst (and best) of a DVD on with a projector. On a standard TV it doesn't look that bad at all.

Uh, yeah it does. Very soft and out of focus on my 32" Zenith.

i loved the episode wiv David Duchovny in (it was the last one right?! i dnt remember), but ya twas a good'un
