Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
It's tough being a professional athlete. Sure, there are big bucks. And big time glory. But there's also responsibility. Temptations. The media. Hangers on. More temptation. Diminishing skills. Lost endorsements. An uncertain future. Still more temptations. In the fast lane of pro sports, an athlete needs someone he can trust. He needs a friend. An adviser. A big brother. Todays sports superstar needs more than just an agent, he needs a super agent. He needs Arliss.
Amazon.com:
These 13 episodes from the long-running HBO series have plenty of the bells and whistles that make Arli$$ so much fun to watch: celebrity cameos, topical satire, swatches of deep poignancy, and pure silliness. Comic actor Robert Wuhl, who created and stars, plays Arliss Michaels, a sports super-agent driven by twin motivations of profit and idealism. Arliss is in the race to realize his clients' dreams of stupendous wealth, but he's just as likely to put his reputation (and big bucks) on the line to help a fading player claim his niche in history. As with HBO's The Larry Sanders Show, Arli$$ gets a lot of mileage out of verisimilitude. In these Best of shows, we meet the likes of Dave Winfield, Ernie Banks, Frank Deford, Lloyd Jones, Tommy Lasorda, and even O.J. attorney Bob Shapiro, playing themselves in some very funny stories about the perennial hopes and startling realities that drive professional sports. --Tom Keogh

HBO is really making me angry by not releasing all of the Arliss seasons on DVD, this is by far the best show they have ever done. There are so many great episodes that I love that are not on this DVD collection, and watching the reruns on on regular TV at 3am does not do the show justice at all. C'mon HBO, you shouldn't be letting the fans suffer because you don't like Robert Wuhl. bring out all the seasons on DVD soon, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if this is the best of Arliss volune 1 pray they don't make a volume 2. This was a great show when it was on and it was on for I think 7 seasons...out of those seven seasons it seems to me that they picked the most lackluster shows that they made. Very disapointing.

This is only given 4 stars because it is a compilation instead
of full individual seasons. Arliss is by far the best series produced
by HBO and the repeats on regular cable omit a good bit of the
language that was present for an adult comedy. A great addition to any DVD collection.

I loved this show when it was on HBO. Robert Wuhl is vastly underrated, and the series seems to have gotten lost over time. These episodes are a good selection, and Wuhl and the team are capable of comedy and seriousness without being preachy. You'll enjoy it. Now, if they'd only bring out the entire series....
Rated by buyers -
If a full season is ever offered I am in. I lvoed this show growing up, probably because of the adult content and the sports stars, but it is simply not worth it to have 13 episodes not in any order. Full seasons would sell much better than these best of sets that are just trying to guage interest. I bet if you looka t how well the Best of Friends DVDs do it is no where near the compelte season sales. Give us what we want.
