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!

Not since Monty Python's Flying Circus has there been a sketch comedy show on this level. Compared to most TV, Mr. Show was so smart and clever that the execs probably feared it would jump-start viewers' minds and cause them to stop spending all their free time sitting on the couch watching other, lesser shows. The sketches alone are light-years ahead of other comedy shows that were running in the 90's, such as SNL and Mad TV. But wait! That's not all! You'll also get amazing links (clearly influenced by the link-masters themselves, Monty Python), groovy guests, and -- well, look, even the theme music rocks, okay? It's a shame that this show was never given a chance to appeal to a mass audience, because as harshly critical as I can be, I have never found a single bad thing to say about any of the shows from any of the four seasons of Mr. Show. Every time I introduce it to someone, they get hooked and wonder how they ever lived without it. Thanks Bob & David, and everybody else who played on the show! WE LOVE IT!

HBO for a short four seasons, ran this nearly flawless gem of a show to little or no fanfare, quietly this show fell again and again the woods of Friday at midnight, Sunday at 2AM, Monday at 11:30, Tuesday at 9:45 or wherever there was late night time to kill on HBO, building a following (and Emmy nominations) with ANYONE that took the time to watch it until executives canceled what they did not understand or know how to market.As a parody of a sketch show every scene blended seamlessly in an interesting mix of absurdist comedy and just outright funny over the top comedic performances. The show had a razor sharp subtext on society, counterculture and the entertainment world. It's witty writing provided a smart and fresh take on nearly every subject under the sun from mediocre comedians, rock music teen suicide to senators paying for sex with wooden craft fair puppets. I've never found a sketch show that could compare or span it's width or depth of complexity in 30 minutes.Impossible to define, no explanation can be given for this show but everyone I've taken the time to introduce the show is an instant fan after one or two episodes. Do yourself a favor and check out a season DVD of this show, I can nearly guarantee you'll be running out to find the other volumes and thankfully HBO wised up and released them in an acceptable format!I've yet to find a show as entertaining as this show. Perfect television. A show whose time came too soon, Bob and David, we hardly knew ye! Thank you for the ride.

Just got into Bob & David and friends via the 1st/2nd Season DVD, and absolutely LOVE the blend of smart/dumb + the not-so-topical-to-be-dated material. So unpredictable (like an American Monty Python) with easily-identifiable characterizations... David Cross gives me hope (as another balded, bespectacaled geek) So amazing throughout!Even the few low-spots are 5X better than your average TV fare... punching fun at *everything!*, the gag-a-minute pace interweaves unsuspected threads into a hilariously cohesive whole... I guarantee it's a hell of alot funnier than *that* sounds.All social/theological/political/etc. views are subject to off-handedly- thoughtful ribbing.... so no prudes need to check this out. An enthusiastically ravenous recommendation from me! Too much to explain! I've not been so completely entranced since ????Please release the 3rd/4th seasons soon! (+I'll be at Chicago's LIVE Hooray for America Show and pushing for the release od Run, Ronny, Run!)
