A milestone in the evolution of comedy as a TV genre, "It's Garry Shandling's Show" set the standards for future shows such as "Seinfeld", "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "30 Rock". Wittily removing the barrier between fiction and real life, "It's Garry Shandling's Show" revolved around a series of autobiographical sketches performed by Garry Shandling himself, many times with the aid of the studio audience. The inclusion of unpredictable real life scenarios and characters lent itself to the show's great appeal over its four season run.
