Summary: Kedzie Matthews is a douche
Review: The episodes are great, don't get me wrong, BUT THE COMMENTARY IS AWFUL, especially when Kedzie Matthews is talking. I hope he's reading this review, b/c he's the dumbest, most unfunny comic ever. He can't seem to stop talking despite NOT being in ANY of these episodes. SHUT UP KEDZIE.

Summary: Buy this wonderful DVD now!
Review: I started watching Mr Show on HBO in it's 3rd season on HBO and loved it. I ran accross the DVD for seasons 1 & 2 together and in a fit of nostalgia decided to get it. It was on of the best DVD purchases I've ever made. These men are geniuses, although not everybody gets their brand of comedy. It was fun seeing Jack Black on one of the early episodes as well.

Summary: Shaking the Crime Stick!
Review: I had been aware that once there was a show called "Mr. Show", starring Bob and David, and that it had been on HBO. But I had never been compelled to buy any of their DVDs until this weekend, when the power of Satan...um, compelled me to pick up the first two seasons. All I gotta say is: Praise Satan for leading me to this glory!
The first season, comprised of four episodes, is fantastic, with flashes of brilliance on "The Gay Porno Video", but it's the second season that really will make you a fan. Such oddities as F.F. Woodycooks, Only The British Can Fly, Child-Labor Comedy Writers, the Iguana, and Jeepers Creepers: Semi-Star unleash the funny like you'd never believe.
Mr. Show proves that there is a market for intelligent, hilarious sketch comedy...on cable, or in the case of KITH and Monty Python, imported from other countries. But Mr. Show is homegrown, it's comedy at a breakneck speed, and there's never a dull moment in either season. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll learn how to fight crime with a "crime stick" and ice cream, and enjoy tofu-based products while your business goes to hell...led by a red balloon.

Summary: Very funny; cutting edge laughs
Review: This comedy volume is absolutely great. While I'm a fan of the series, I thought this volume was more cutting edge than the next. Definately don't watch Season 3 before seeing these seasons, because this is intellectual comedy that builds on previous episodes to some degree. It doesn't move as fast as some comedy out there, but it all fits together better than most of what is on TV today.

Summary: This collection is ruining my social life...
Review: ...or maybe I'm just picking the wrong women. In either case, I'll preface this review with a warning: If you come to love these guys (as I have), you'll feel it an obligation to share with strangers, that could very well cause you some pain.It's a fact, many people don't find Mr. Show funny. I know, it is infruating, often embarrasing, but somehow true. Quite often I've treated "the unexposed" to this comic gem only to receive minor guffaws and uncomfortable bouts of silence. So, to those that have not seen Mr. Show, if you find series' like Curb Your Enthusiasm, or (Britain's) The Office funny, you'll very likely love Mr. Show. To that class of people who've seen Mr. Show and enjoyed their dark, often nearly imperceptibly subtle humor, you'll love this DVD. It is among the few in my collection that I frequently play.

Summary: Good media to make life long references to...
Review: It took me a few weeks after watching the original Mr. Show (when it was actually on HBO) to refer to the various skits on there and laugh. It just grows on ya. It got to the point where a was totally out of control laughing after about the 7th time watching some of the skits. One has to kind of slide into the style of these guys. They're not politically correct and may offend someone...somewhere....I guess. It's worth watching though.
