When he did Larry Sanders or Showtime when he did his show there. However, my wife and I watched both parts of this documentary and were riveted. He was incredibly funny. Subsequently, we’ve been watching the Larry Sanders show (available on HBO on demand and on the HBO app for streaming). He was truly a comic genius and Apatow’s wprlk is exceptional.
... chick (who was also on the Larry Sanders show) was troublesome as she seemed very supportive (but then again who really knows) and it sounded like he was haunted by this.
His bother's death when he was a kid also seemed to have a huge residual effect on him.

Far be it from me to psychoanalyze someone from a documentary but I think the thing which kiboshed that relationship was that she wanted kids, and ultimately stripping everything away he was frightened he'd pass on cystic fibrosis. I have a friend who have that in his family and they've undertaken screening during pregnancy
Shandling was brilliant, but a very complex and conflicted guy. It was a pretty sad piece, although late in life he seemed to have reconciled himself to never having found a lasting relationship. Instead, he poured himself into being a good friend and mentor to the many comedians who revered him.
I think he was one of the great comedians of all time and his It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Larry Sanders Show were two of the best comedies ever on television.

Sounds like he was good to young comics but overall not a guy I would have wanted to have as a friend.
However, I do recommend the Larry Sanders show.
He was capable of really stupid actions but also incredibly generous and supportive.
