Any fans? Very private person, and learned a lot about him from "The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling" on HBO... I always thought the best show in the US (ever) was The Larry Sanders Show, and the last time there was some great satire in this country.
I wasn't a big fan of his stand-up, but he seemed to get better as time went on. He was usually more funny in an interview, and I've been checking out some stuff, since I agree with him, that truth is damn important, and thinks he was a damn good guy and a comedic genius who is gone when the country has no real profound social critic under 90 years of age.

I remember enjoying the edited version of It's Garry Shandling's Show on Fox (Didn't have Showtime back then). It was on either right before or right after another non typical comedy Get A Life.

Huge fan of Gary Shandling and a huge fan of the Larry Sanders show from the 90's--I even liked his movie that bombed What Planet Are You From?(2000)---still can't get over his needless death--He was feeling awful, yet he called a doctor friend and this idiot told him to wait til tomorrow to go to the Emergency Room--He was dead by morning--If he went to the hospital the day before, they would have saved him--Peter Boyle in 1999 came within 15 minutes of dying yet he was saved by going to the hospital--Letterman the same year had run 6 miles the day before, yet his doctor said we're doing open heart surgery right now after seeing his EKG---Kevin Nealon said Gary would call him up and say 'Let's go hiking" but Gary's version of hiking was actually going from open house to open house looking at Real Estate lol
