Overview: 3 Hilarious TV Shows! 90 Episodes! Over 35 Hours! Jump start your TV collection with 3 of most beloved comedies of the 1990s.

DVD Verdict: Featuring the groundbreaking comedy of 'THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW', the workplace misadventures of a fashion magazine in 'JUST SHOOT ME', and high-flying antics of the crew at Tom Nevers Field in 'WINGS'. Here you get to enjoy the first 2 seasons from each series together for an unforgettable and hilarious collections of laughs.

'The Larry Sanders Show' is an American television sitcom set in the office and studio of a fictional late-night talk show. The series was created by Garry Shandling and Dennis Klein and aired from August 1992 to May 1998 on the HBO cable television network.

The series stars Shandling, Jeffrey Tambor, and Rip Torn and features celebrities playing exaggerated, self-parodying versions of themselves. The show has its roots in Shandling's stand-up comedy background, his experience as a guest host on The Tonight Show and his earlier sitcom It's Garry Shandling's Show.

The program has had a marked and long-lasting influence on HBO as well as on television shows in the US and Britain such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, 30 Rock and The Office. The supporting cast includes Janeane Garofalo, Wallace Langham, Penny Johnson, Linda Doucett, Scott Thompson and Jeremy Piven.

Regarded as an influential and landmark series, it ranked 38 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time, the only HBO comedy to make the list,[1] and was also included in Time magazine's list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time".

'Just Shoot Me!' is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from March 4, 1997, to August 16, 2003, with a total of 148 half-hour episodes spanning seven seasons.

The show was created by Steven Levitan, the show's executive producer. The show follows the staff at the fictional fashion magazine Blush.

Early on, the series was a very competitive hit, consistently winning its time slot. The first season of six episodes were all aired by NBC in a single month in March 1997. It was renewed for a 13-episode second season, fitted at 9:30 after Frasier, and then was moved in the spring to Thursdays between Friends and Seinfeld.

After just two of these airings, the order was bumped up to a full season. When Seinfeld left the airwaves in 1998, Just Shoot Me! was one of the contenders to take the coveted 9 p.m. Thursday slot. Frasier instead won the slot, and Just Shoot Me was instead given Frasier's 9 p.m. Tuesday slot.

For the fifth season of the series, when Frasier underperformed in the coveted Thursday slot and NBC returned it to Tuesdays at 9, Just Shoot Me! was moved to Thursdays at 9:30, between Will & Grace and ER, where ratings saw an immediate spike and where the show would remain for two years.

The show's seventh season saw several drastic changes. Series showrunners Moses Port and David Guarascio left at the end of the sixth season to pursue a development deal with NBC, and were replaced with Jon Pollack and Judd Pillot and John Peaslee.

Also noted as a big factor was the addition of Rena Sofer to the cast. Her addition was mandated by NBC, who had sought a successful vehicle for her for years.

At the same time, NBC also gave the show one of its most difficult timeslots, Tuesdays at 8 pm. Ratings fell sharply in the first few weeks, and the show was put on hiatus by November, showing only one new episode until the following April. During this time, production resumed, but Sofer's character was written out. By this point, NBC had sadly canceled the show.

'Wings' is an American sitcom that ran for eight seasons on NBC from April 19, 1990, to May 21, 1997. Starring Tim Daly and Steven Weber as brothers Joe and Brian Hackett, the show is set at the fictional "Tom Nevers Field" airport, a small two-airline airport in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where the Hackett brothers operate Sandpiper Air.

Other regulars include Crystal Bernard, David Schramm, Rebecca Schull, Thomas Haden Church, and Tony Shalhoub. Farrah Forke later joined the cast for two seasons. When Forke left, Amy Yasbeck joined the cast for the remainder of the show's run from 1994–1997. Thomas Haden Church left the show in spring 1995 to star in the Fox sitcom Ned and Stacey, and Brian Haley joined the cast as the new mechanic.

Wings was created and produced by Cheers veterans David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee. The trio would later create the sitcom Frasier, which was a spinoff of Cheers. Characters from Cheers occasionally made special guest appearances on Wings. All three series were produced by Paramount Network Television.

As aforementioned, '90's Sitcom Starter Set - Season 1 & 2 Bundle' contains 3 hilarious TV shows and houses an incredible, a whooping 90 episodes overall on 9 brilliant DVD discs! Coming in at just over 35 hours of beloved first and second season TV watching from a classic era of TV, come in, sit down, rest your legs and allow your brain to lose itself within these wondrous comedies from the '90s.
