Arliss (TV Series)
''Arliss'' (rendered in its logo as ''Arli$$'') is an American cult-classic dark comedy series, created by and starring Robert Wuhl (who was also the series' showrunner), about the glitzy, big-money world of professional sports, with Wuhl playing the eternally optimistic and endlessly resourceful L.A. sports agent Arliss Michaels, whose Achilles' heel is his inability to say "no" to clients and employees. ''Arliss'' ran for seven seasons and 80 episodes on HBO, from August 10, 1996, to September 8, 2002. After almost two decades of being off-air, the entire catalog of ''Arliss'' episodes returned to HBO Max in a streaming format in September 2018.
