IFC seems to be setting itself up as the home for classic television comedy, with the news that it has acquired full runs of The Larry Sanders Show, The Ben Stiller Show, Action and Mr. Show.

The four new acquisitions will join the channel’s existing comedy series, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, as part of a new block of programming starting January 3rd. According to Deadline, the 90 minute block will also feature “exclusive new interviews with writers, creators and stars of each show along with comedians who have been influenced by them.”
