** The first couple seasons of ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'' played a lot like a less [[MetaFiction Metafictional]] version of this show. Not accidental, since Jerry Seinfeld had been a longtime associate of Shandling, and Creator/LarryDavid even wrote one episode (credited to "Mac Brandes"). Frequent IGSS writers Tom Gammill and Max Pross also moved on to ''Seinfeld''.

* CultClassic: Compared to later postmodern comedies like ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons,'' ''Series/TheKidsInTheHall'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}},'' this show doesn’t quite have the same recognition -- in fact, Garry Shandling’s own ''Series/TheLarrySandersShow'' usually gets more recognized. However, this show came before all of them, and probably ''influenced'' them as well. As mentioned on the main page, writers from this show wound up working for ''The Simpsons,'' as well as ''Series/{{Seinfeld}},'' which deconstructed the sitcom from a different angle -- and consider how influential ''those'' shows are. As such, ''It's Garry Shandling's Show'' is still recognized by a big following of comedy fans from way back in the day, especially Garry Shandling fanatics.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The season 2 finale, "Mr. Smith Goes To 'Nam."

If you watch Garry carefully, you can tell by his body language how protective he is of her.

* SeasonalRot: Season 4 is unquestionably the least popular season, with the additional of Garry's girlfriend Phoebe kind of throwing the dynamic off a bit, and the show seeming less inventive.
