Summary: Mr. Show - The Complete Third Season DVD
Review: Once a man told me I would know when the time was right to choose my path. Now I know, I must buy and memorize the entire third season of Mr. Show to the point of sublime obsession.
The first two seasons pale in comparison to season three. Buy this DVD or you will live to somewhat regret it and then probably forget what you were lamenting.

Summary: Mr. Show, not for me....
Review: Personally I can't stand Mr. Show, but this was a gift for my brother who really loves it. If you have mr show 1&2, well then you'll want this volume because it's more of the same (and therefore I really hate it).

Summary: As good as Seasons 1 & 2
Review: Season 3 of Mr. Show is about as good as Seasons 1 & 2. The proportion of brilliant bits to bits that don't work is about the same. I was slightly disappointed, because I thought things would get tighter and better, but still, everything is pretty good.The commentary tracks are excellent. They don't resort to the "Guest Commentator" thing (where a cast member pretends to be one of their characters from the show) as much, and when they do, it's not as cheesy. There's the usual portion of worthless onscreen trivia ("It was really hot that day."), but there's also a lot about bits they loved, bits they hated, bits that didn't quite work, and why. The bonus features are short and almost worthless. There are two lame joke biographies, apparently extracted from Bob & David like a homework assignment, a "Best of Mr. Show" feature that collects clips from seasons 1 & 2 (which you've probably already seen, if you bought season 3), and a few funny clips from an HBO-sponsored comedy festival. If you're a Mr. Show fan, it's worth buying just for the commentaries.

Review: Tera delu to you my friend! It is I, The Bob! Mr. Show is the true way! Does everyone have their bags packed?

Summary: Great Show, Lame Extras
Review: The audio commentary is hideous, but so what? The episodes themselves are so strong that it really doesn't matter. The one devoted to religion is the best, in my mind. In fact, I would say that it contains the best religious satire I have ever seen. Episode 3, I think it is, articulates the inconsistencies of superstition so well that I don't see how a person of any faith could really offer a counter to it.

Summary: A Velveteen Touch of Goodness
Review: The power of laughter is awsome to behold when it's done to perfection by people that really know what thier doing. Bob and David yeild this power like a blade of divine honesty, slicing through our force-feed conseptions of America and all of the consumer- crazy, believe anything, inpractical and ass-backward
mentality that we've slid into over the years.
I'm not a new discoverer of Mr.Show, I used to watch it when it origonally aired on HBO. Back then it just seemed like my friends and I were the only ones that saw it or gave a rat's ass about it. It was always like our own little inside joke, you could say a line from any episode and your buddy would finish it.
Sorry, the point is that I'm glad that now everybody gets to witness the brilliant satire of Mr.Show without having to biuld a time machine to go back and see it when it origonally aired ( because it would be worth the trip) TURA-DELOO! the Viewer.

Summary: One Star Off For the Extras
Review: The show is by far the best sketch comedy out there, and season three is much stronger than season one and somewhat stronger than season 2. While it's all about owning the episodes on DVD so you can retire your X-generation VHS tapes, I have to throw a comment out there about the extras. While it's a miracle that HBO bothered to allow extra content, what was included is pretty lousy. The clips of Bob and David at the comedy festival are ok, but the "commentary" is annoying. The first few episodes get reduced to 8 people talking and laughing over each other so that nothing worth listening to comes through. It starts to get better, but at its best the commentary consists of "look at my wig!" and "shouldn't we be talking about the show?...ha ha ha!" At least they cut down on the very unfunny character pieces that pervaded the first DVD commentary. If you're hoping to learn something about your favorite sketches, then avoid the commentary and buy the Mr. Show book.

Summary: Still the best
Review: The third season is just as good as the first two. I can say no more about how good these guys are. Mr. Show is just leaps and bounds beyond other sketch troups. But, if you don't get their comedy style you'll just hate it. But then, you must be an idiot and should stick with SNL sketches or worse yet Mad TV.
