What a waste of my time!!!

Good idea lost in the noise

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

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.

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.

You could write a book on "Mr. Show", but not just because it was funny. It's hilarious, but it's also brilliant. Some people don't like it, and that's because smart comedy is hard to take. "Mr. Show" held a mirror up to the audience and it forced us to stare deeply into the TV screen and observe our own reflections. The writing was flawless and every line served a purpose. I've been a fan for a few years and I still watch episodes and catch jokes and references that I didn't catch before. I recommend this to anyone who's craving quality comedy, for anyone who's tired of SNL and MadTV. SNL is a joke now, though on a side note, I'll say that I think Fred Armison and Will Forte might carry the show for a while, Jimmy Fallon is extremely over-rated. Watch Mr. Show, Season 3 is coming out on DVD in August.
