It's Garry Shandling's Show was a gleeful deconstruction of the sitcom genre that reveled in breaking the fourth wall and constantly reminding viewers that they were watching TV. Naturally this meta approach to comedy was reflected in the show's earworm of a theme that is highlighted by a slapdash whistle solo. Over the course of the series' 72 episodes, the song never gets tired. It is a sublime bit of silliness that still sounds as fresh today as it did when it first premiered back in 1986. Comedic brilliance, thy name is Shandling. Now bring on his cameo in Iron Man 2.
