Matt Zoller Seitz is Roger Ebert’s favorite TV critic, and that’s good enough for me!

I started re-visiting Larry Sanders on Netflix streaming recently, they have the entire series, and it holds up beautifully

well, i’d say any show with the name “Sanders” in it simply has to RULE!!! ; )

i remember watching it a coupla times back in the day. i know it was good, but i wasn’t too into back then. probably just watched it ‘coz it had my name in the title! i was in college when it came out, so it was Classical music 17-20 hours a day…

i do, however, LOVE The Office. i prefer the US version to the UK, but i’ve seen all the original british episodes and they’re fun, too.

3) I find his insights generally keen and he hits a tone I appreciate, i.e. smart and incisive, but also somewhat warm and human. He’s not all touchy-feely — he’s got teeth, but his writing is never snarky for its own sake.

2) Yeah, I find that I don’t share his tastes but I still appreciate his take on things.

Seitz is a terrific critic. I find him engaging and thoughtful even when I completely disagree with him (which isn’t very often). I hope somehow at New York he can bring back his weekly Mad Men recaps when the series returns.

Best show ever.
And yeah, Matthew Zoller Seitz is great. Thanks for the link to the Sanders piece. Hadn’t seen it.
