Out of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, David was my favorite. He is funny! I liked Bob too. He had quite a few funny moments. Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Tom Kenny, Brian Posehn, John Ennis, Jerry Minor and Jack Black were what made this show great! It was kind of an unorganized sketch show, but that still didn't make the show bad. They would like be talking about something and then it would fade into another sketch and that would change to another. Kind of neat! I love that spooky Halloween like theme song. I always like to whistle it. Even though the show is gone and Bob and David went there separate ways, it still feels like the show is still alive. Mr. Show lives on!

A friend of mine once described the show "South Park" as being "very funny,but I felt that it was doing something very bad to (his) soul." He obviously never saw THIS show,because this show could make SP or most comedy shows look right down Capra-esquire!Former SNL writers Bob Odenkirk and David Cross created this program which can be described as being a "tangent" or "chain" sketch comedy show. Each sketch didn't end but merely blended into the next,finally coming full circle to the original host segment. The sketches are crude,crass,creative,brutally truthful at times and (of course)gut-bustingly funny. The show was an HBO offering,so one had to figure it wasn't going to last very long,but this show's end seemed grossly premature even by their standards. I am very pleased to see Comedy Central bring back these eps,even in censored form!

It saddens me to say that I think I'll never see another program as great as Mr Show in my lifetime. Dear *god* (read Bob & David), I hope so, but I just think it's unlikely.From the most clever of transitions, to blatantly sarcastic commentary on American culture, Mr Show is to the U.S. as Monty Python was to the U.K.Some people don't get it at first. For some, it requires a little too much thought. To those I say, keep watching. And then watch it again. Eventually, you'll catch such things as the nuances of the "Pre-taped Call-in Show" and the blatant societal stab of the "Hail Satan" network.Yeah, it's got its down skits, but what show doesn't? Fact of the matter is, the genius of the good ones outshine anything else around.

It is a crime that this show only lasted 4 seasons. This is the funniest sketch comedy EVER. Its destroys other funny sketch shows like In living color, SNL, The ben stiller show, monty python, dave chappelle, kids in the hall, and SCTV. Sketch comedy today is really weak. Shows like mad tv and the current snl are very tired and unfunny. Buy this show on dvd you won't be disappointed.
