One hopes that at the annual HBO characters Christmas party, Larry Sanders, Carrie Bradshaw, and Tony Soprano make a point to raise a toast to Martin Tupper, the hapless hero of Dream On. This groundbreaking 1990 sitcom from future Friends creators David Crane and Marta Kaufman ushered in a bold new era of original cable programming not bound by broadcast network content restrictions. Hence, the profanity and nudity (you didn't see that on Knott's Landing!), which distinguished the series and helped put HBO on the pop culture map. Brian Benben stars as Martin, a New York book editor still reeling from the breakup of his marriage. The show's gimmick is that baby boomer Martin, a member of the first television generation, flashes on vintage TV clips that express his innermost feelings and desires. When his wife, Judith (Wendie Malick), visits Martin in "The First Episode," he fantasizes reconciliation, but she wants him to sign the divorce papers so she can remarry. The scene is punctuated by clips (from an old Twilight Zone episode, perhaps?) in which boxer Lee Marvin is pummeled in the ring and knocked out. But the clips and the language and the sex would get old fast if we didn't like the characters. Benben has the Everyman charm of a young George Segal, and he wears his anxiety to hilarious effect. He is devoted to his young teenage son, and still loves Judith, who is marrying a paragon, never seen, but described at one point as a "Ghandi for our times." His dating relationships spectacularly crash and burn (cue clip of disabled aircraft). In one episode, he comes undone when he discovers his new lover was a porn star. At the office, he is at the mercy of his caustic secretary (Denny Dillon). Dream On is of more than prurient interest. This was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle series blessed with a fresh vision, a seamless ensemble, and smart writing. To finally have it on DVD is a Dream come true. --Donald Liebenson

This show was both hilarious and touching. Wish it had run for 10 years--or longer! Why the wait to release all six seasons? I loved this set of years 1 and 2, but where are the rest?

This is the best comedy ever to grace HBO or network TV. While I love Seinfeld, Friends and Curb Your Enthusiasm (and I own all of these on DVD, including their special editions where available), I love this show more. I just wish they would put out the rest seasons on DVD. While season 3 is on Hulu for free, I'd much rather watch the show on DVD than through an HTPC (and with Hulu's commercial interruptions). If HBO is going to put out the Larry Sanders show on DVD, the least they could do is ... Read More

I liked this show very much when it was airing on HBO. It is really nice to be able to have the dvd of the series and go back and watch them whenever I get a chance. They are funny.

I live in Cyprus and i'd never even heard of this show until a couple months ago. Once i received the dvds and watched them i was hooked.
If HBO don't want to release s.3-6 cause s.1&2 didn't sell very well, maybe they can work something out with Shout!Factory (the guys who gave us Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, Home Movies, My So-Called Life, Sports Night etc) or some similar company/label. And now HBO are doing the same thing with the Larry Sanders show, although for different reasons ... Read More

I was SO happy to find this collection after having missed this show terribly for years. The quality of the CDs is outstanding. No complaints.
