But just how do they do this?
Meta does not cover it.
Intertextuality is taken to a new level inThe Graduate, a pastiche of the iconic Mike Nichols film.
And then, to further push the radicality (is that even a word?)
of what Shandling & Co. were doing, they then watch his scene fromThe Graduateand dissect it.
Remember, this is 86, when the TV landscape was a different kettle of ball-game.
They even manage the prescient move of featuring a live cooking section in another episode.
The only downside to Shandlings comedy is its contemporaneousness.
But thats where the negatives start and end.
file Reiner pop up in the same story.
There, and I didnt even mentionSeans Show.
Along with some so-so outtakes, there are some even more so-so commentaries (five in total).
Shandling pops up but adds little as he seems to remember almost nothing about the episodes on show.
With no insight and only a few laughs, theyre hardly worth the listen.
