8. The Larry Sanders Show
Best HBO Shows of All Time
The Larry Sanders show arguably set the stage for all of the other famed and critically acclaimed shows that would come after it. While HBO was starting to make a name for itself when it came to original programming in the early 90s, it was The Larry Sanders show that put HBO on the map for many subscribers.
The Larry Sanders is a fictional and satirical late-night talk show that attempts to shed light on the drama that goes on behind the scenes of a popular show where major Hollywood stars are frequent guests.
The show would prove to be a huge success and while it was slightly ahead of its time, wrapping up its run before HBO would go on to become an absolute juggernaut, it was no slouch in terms of critical acclaim. The Larry Sanders Show would go on to be nominated for, and win many awards for its writing and acting over its six-year run.
