Larry David: Series
built 192 days ago
The show received mostly positive reviews, but David considered it a one-shot project. HBO head Chris Albrecht thought otherwise, asking David for a 13-episode series. David offered 10 episodes and a year commitment, but the response was largely positive, and the show entered its fifth season in 2007. For his efforts, David was nominated twice for an Emmy as Best Actor in a Comedy, and won two Producers Guild Awards and a Writers Guild Award – all for channeling a much more neurotic, uncomfortable version of himself.

Larry shocks his wife and friends by deciding to take a job as a car salesman, but is foiled when "high maintenance" Richard Lewis shows up at the dealership. And in another case of art imitating life, Larry and Jason Alexander contemplate making a new TV series about an actor who can't find work because he is typecast as his character from a hit television show.

NGTV is about to make the move to late-night TV with a series in development with Robert Morton (Late Show With David Letterman), Dave Becky, and Michael Rotenberg from 3 Arts Entertainment and Endeavor. Heading to the little screen doesn't mean the site is straying from its online video roots. Taj sees NGTV as a hybrid of video content. Platforms are converging, he says, and to create a network that is multiplatform you need to bridge the gap between the web and TV. Ultimately, though, it's about the content and creating a place where it can be free to evolve. Of NGTV's role in this, Taj says, "It's a place for artistic freedom and it represents something positive in the world."

In 2003, David was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the "Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series — Musical Or Comedy" category, for his work on the show. He was nominated again in 2005 and 2006. In the same year, fellow comedians and comedy insiders, in a poll to select The Comedian's Comedian, voted him number 23 on the top fifty greatest comedy acts ever.

David Duchovny, X-Files' star, is back on series TV, but his role on Showtime's bawdy Californication (due Monday at 10:30 ET/PT) is far removed from his turn as cool alien-sleuth Fox Mulder. Hank Moody is a self-loathing author who has seen his acclaimed book, God Hates Us All, turned into a lightweight romantic comedy, A Crazy Little Thing Called Love, starring "Tom and Katie."
