Cast includes Garry Shandling, Jeffrey Tambor (who you will know from Arrested Development), Rip Torn, Penny Johnson Jerald (sp? Palmer's wife from 24), Jeremy Piven and Janeane Garofalo.

Seriously, I cannot underline enough how ahead of its time and influential this show has proven to be over time. Some of the material has dated because it was written around stuff happening at the time, but a lot of it is just classic.

I love that show
