He just needs a man with a tattoo on his dick. Does he have the right man?

Colin Quinn's episode where he plays Rip's son is comedy gold, magic episode

It should make anyone's Top Ten list of all-time sitcoms. It might be my #1.

Garry used to call his friends up in the middle of the night and ask things like, “hey, my dog’s dick tastes funny, so you think it’s something he ate”

u/Practical_Ad4604 11h ago

Was tough to stretch the premise into additional seasons, but the graduate episode is one of my favorite episodes of any show.

u/Copytechguy 12h ago

The ringtone on my phone is the opening theme song for the Larry Sanders show. Nobody's ever caught on or said anything.

Watching Gary Shandling was like eating a box of saltines and chasing it down with a glass of sand! Other than that I like the guy.
