Judd Apatow remembered and honored his friend and mentor with this touching documentary where you could really feel and see the love from all he came in contact with during his career. I remember growing up and seeing Garry when he appeared on the Tonight Show and couldn't believe when he walked away from it. One of my all-time favorite HBO series was the Larry Sanders Show which for lack of a better description was sheer genius!Simply put, Garry Shandling was an amazing performer who left us too soon and considered by many one of the best comedians ever to grace the stage and entertain us. Judd, you brought tears to my eyes when I watched this HBO special. Thank you for remembering and honoring Garry Shandling in such a manner!

Apatow paints a finely woven, richly detailed journey of Garry Shandling's state of being. As a documentarian Apatow makes a most impressive debut, it is the best I've seen in a very long time. HBO has chosen the right subject and the right person to tell this deeply intimate fully formed biography of a brilliant comedian.

My guess is that Garry Shandling would be very appreciative of how well of a job that Judd Apatow did on this wonderful documentary that chronicalized his life and spirituality. I had not had much exposure to Garry's comedy before watching this. After watching it, I have come away with the fact that he very well may have been the best performer of his time due to the way he held his material to such high standards and also because of the countless amount of people who he mentored. There is more to learn in this documentary than just how effortlessly funny Garry really was (although the worked tirelessly on his material). It shows the journey to enlightenment. How to accept ones place in the universe. How to resist being egotistical in an effort to not take life more seriously than it needs to be taken. Thank you Judd. Thank you Garry.

Career driven good guy keeps his soul clean. Worthy subject; worthy tribute. And, no, not too long.
