It's Garry Shandling's Show is a comedy TV series that premiered on Showtime on September 10, 1986. It has 4 seasons and 72 episodes so far and has ended. The latest episode, Season 4 Episode 19 "Driving Miss Garry", aired on May 25, 1990.
Garry Shandling stars as himself, a neurotic, sardonic stand-up comedian who just happens to be aware he is a sitcom character. Garry spends just as much time interacting with the studio audience as he does the regular cast members, performing monologues and show-closing summations of the episode's events. However, everyone knows they're on TV, not just Garry; and the audience (itself a character) is often involved in the storyline.
