I am genuinely surprised at how well The Larry Sanders Show has aged. I mean, it is obviously super “lol90s” because, well, lol90s. But the cast and the jokes and the single camera work was impeccable then and it is impeccable now.
It’s not like I’m binging on season three at home on a Saturday night or anything…
