Summary: Funniest thing ever.
Review: This is easily the funniest show to ever come out of television. Part Monty Python , part Kids in the Hall, but with a style and flavor all its own. Bob Odenkirk (formerly writing for Saturday Night Live) and David Cross (writer and actor on the Ben Stiller Show amongst others) are two drastically different comedians who mesh together brilliantly. Bob plays the "Straight Man" and David the "Wacky Guy", or so it seems at first. But once you start watching this you'll realize things have gone horribly wrong...... or right... whichever is better in your opinion. They get help from somewhat familiar faces like, Sarah Silverman, Janeanne Garofalo, and Paul F. Tompkins (who can be seen weekly on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher). Each episode has at least one skit that makes me laugh outloud even when alone. And be sure to watch the special features , like The Best of Mr. Show segment, which features a whole mix of skits from other seasons. This is the most comedy you will get for the price, guranteed. I liked this show enough, i drove six hours to see them perform live. :)

Summary: You'll become a fanatic in a week tops if you own this
Review: My buddy summed it up best when he said: "Best sketch comedy ever." He was speaking the truth. Mr. Show is like no other show you've ever seen (in terms of quality, hilarity, and intelligence). It blows every other sketch comedy show out of the water and after a week of watching both these DVDs, I think you'll agree that Saturday Night Live is simply not funny at all (or at least not even in the same ballpark as this stuff). If you consider yourself a fan of good (and I go mean GOOD) comedy, then treat yourself right and buy this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Season 3 just announced!
Review: Mr Show, possibly the finest comedy series out there, is finally letting its fans sink its teeth into the dvd version of SEASON THREE! I've been watching the third and fourth seasons (by far the funniest) on my pc for a while now and happy to learn that I can stop squinting at my monitor and finally catch them on the big screen. Halleluiah! Now if they'd just announce season four....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The etoufee is just right
Review: This is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. It is packed full of Intelligent humor wrapped in gratitous violence and or language. If you are a fan of intelligent and raunchy humor, this show is the show for you. And god help those who dont buy this, or dont. Its entirely up to you. I have to go now, Hippie pie is ready.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny stuff
Review: I haven't even finished watching the first DVD and this is gutbuster if you like this type of humor, a bit strange at times, but funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best purchase i Ever made!
Review: Mr. Show is a blazingly fast sketch comedy show. If you like comedy, then you must own this DVD. Trust me. Its brilliant and genius.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Money well-spent
Review: First off, I never saw the show when it originally aired. Friday night at midnight in the mid-90's???? I was never even home then. I have a social life. Who's home at 12 on a Friday? I knew of it, and had seen a clip or two, but never an entire episode. I learned of them through Jack Black of Tenacious D, who is in a few of these episodes. All I can say is GET IT. The level of comedy darkness here is amazing. So many sweet lines fly by that you begin to miss them. You have to watch again to catch all the nuances. Plus, there's optional commentary for each episode, which amounts to an improv overdub as well. If you like this, you should also get the David Cross cd on SubPop records, too. So much better than any other sketch show out there. If you laugh at sarcasm and mockery and Jesus and morons, this is the view for you. I loved it.
"All these goats are retarded."

Summary: just buy it
Review: There is no need for much of a review here. If you're an intelligent individual and you like to laugh... a lot, just buy this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mr Show Unfair
Review: I am basically writting this review to give it my five stars. The show in its series form is one of the funniest, most off-beat, collestion of episoids i have ever seen. I like to associate Mr. Show more with live music concerts then tv shows. The way they seuged their skits and drop characters/ideas from past skits is just like the fatty jams. I first came across Mr. Show on the net and saw a few episoids and thought it was allright, very dark. But i forced it upon my self and now i see it for its hillarity. Force in on YOURSELF- you'll love it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Its alright
Review: I bought this due to reviews and word of mouth. A few of the sketches are hilarious. The rest I watched without so much as a smile. from what I hear, all the good stuff is in the third and fourth seasons. So buy this so they will put out the others.
