I've been rewatching these shows, and am surprised at how much I missed the first time through when it was just an odd little web series.
I'm not sure if it's the early loss of Garry Shandling, or the memories of my own lost youth when I watched Garry's shows... but this episode left me with a feeling of melancholy. As we age and start sensing our own mortality, what was once silly laughter begins to take on different meaning.
Of course the episode is funny, but I found myself crying as Garry discussed the aspects of his own comedy era ending, and the reality of his own health and mortality staring him in the face. A reality we all end up facing at some point.
I miss him - I miss his awkward, humorous take on life and the laughter he brought to my life. He left this world too soon. I found this episode a great tribute to a funny man, but also a bit heartbreaking. I wish we all could have had more time with Garry Shandling.
