Summary: Are you hip enough for Mr. Show?
Review: Let me start off by saying that this is not the high form of entertainment that the fans of Mr. Show make it out to be. The main thing the Mr. Show fans like to do is to act like it has had some sort of profound impact on them. "I would be living under a gutter with a paper bag over my head, if it wasn't for Mr.Show!", they seem to say to me. Then they say if I disagree with them, it's obviously because I'm not "hip" enough to get the show and then they recommend something they think is more on my level like, "Friends". They make themselves comfortable thinking that anyone who doesn't like Mr. Show is just too mainstream and ordinary. What liking this show does for them is make them feel superior to everyone else. They like to feel inside on something that mystifies everybody else. They create some sort of out of reach taste by calling the show dark, twisted, offbeat and brilliant. What you actually find when you watch it is what you find in must every sketch comedy; a bunch of guys coming up with bizarre and silly concepts that have only the purpose of being funny, not meaningful or even really intelligent. All the fans are doing is exaggerating its importance and claiming a high-class acquired taste.Saying this is the greatest sketch comedy of all time is blasphemous to the sketch comedy gods. The first and still the best is Monty Python and anyone who will argue against that will fail miserably. It's like trying to say Picasso isn't the greatest modern artist, when he brought it all into being. There would be no Mr. Show if Monty Python never broke in, so how can you say it's better? Mr. Show, like all sketch comedy, has its good parts and its bad; hits and misses. The second tends to outweigh the first in the case of Mr. Show. I would say that only every other episode made me laugh. If you took every skit in Mr. Show that actually made me laugh or even caused any facial muscle reaction in any way, you would only have a 15-20 minute DVD. In comparison, the Monty Python compilation would be about an hour and a half.

Review: Right up there with the Firesign Theater, Monty Python, and the neo-futurists. 6 stars.

Summary: Mr. Show is the cat's meWow! That's a good soundbite, right?
Review: Mr. Show was a brilliant sketch comedy television show on television about comedy that televised things of a funny nature for telvision viewing audiences who turned on a television show expecting to see funny things on television. It never really worked out. But it did bring forth a huge mass of people known as the "cult Mr. Show following" whom through their will and strong conviction of trading bootleg copies of Mr. Show over Ebay raised the marketing eyebrows' of HBO. HBO did what any great pay cable service would do -- they milked the cow! Thank you HBO for milking the cow so that now all starving television minds may suckle at the teat of their boob tube. One can only hope they release the other two seasons.

Summary: Yeahoooo for Mr. Show!
Review: Indescribable. I have tried and tried to explain this show to friends, only to have them look at me like I grew another head. Then after I drag them to the TV and force them to watch one, they're hooked like me. So either I can't speak properly, or this show defies explanation. Lemme try anyway... Sketch comedy at it's most outrageous. Spoofy. FUNNY! And it's from HBO, so all the cuss words are intact. Definitely worth buying...I can't wait until seasons 3 & 4 come out!

Summary: [Rear] kicking dark comedy
Review: If you enjoy darker style of comedy, this tape is for you! The dvd provides over 24 hours of veiwing. (Both seasons, extra material and with and without comments) Viewing the show with the comments is like a whole different program.
Be warned, it's not for everyone. If you like "Friends" and "Seinfeld", chances are, this isn't for you. But if you dig shows like "Black Books" and Eddy Izzard, this is right up your alley!

Summary: Fantastic! Can't wait for the next two seaons.
Review: As others have said, this is truly some of the best "smart comedy" you'll ever see. It's razor sharp and surprisingly bold. Bob and David have put together a collection of comedy skits you could never see on SNL or any other network TV station. Only on HBO could you possibly find Mr. Show, which pokes fun at rednecks, Catholics, British, battered wives, African-Americans, homosexuals, drug addicts, senior citizens, musicians, and politicans all on the first disc alone. It's controversial and highly offensive, and I loved every minute of it. For those who are easily offended, you're better off sticking with the network stuff that is tightly regulated by the FCC so as not to hurt your feelings. But if you enjoy deeper, darker, more honest, no-holds-barred comedy writing, the Mr. Show DVD set is money well spent.

Summary: I luv this stuff
Review: I loved to watch these guys on HBO and really love the DVD. There are celebrity cameos that I had not noticed when I first saw the show on HBO and the DVD extras are entertaining too. They have the HBO TV Promos and the AUDIO commentary is great. Also, the Best of Mr. Show episode is included.

Summary: Ready to Laugh?
Review: This has to be some of the funniest comedy I've seen in a while, keep in mind I'm only 16. Bob and David do everything I wish I could do on stage, and much better than I coudl ever imagine. It's hilairous, you'll laugh, as long as you're not a sheep. Keep in mind this is smart comedy. Buy it now. I can't wait for seasons 3 and 4. Thanks guys.

Summary: if you regret buying this DVD, then there's something wrong
Review: Mr. Show is simply the funniest f#*@ing sketch comedy show of all time. Sometimes its the only thing that makes life bearable. Let's all pray the HBO releases the subsequent seasons on DVD as well.

Summary: Odenkirk+Cross+HBO=Pure Genius
Review: This is easily one of the best sketch shows ever! It's on par with shows like Kids in the Hall and Monty Python. The sketches are brilliant, dark and twisted just the way I like. If you want real sketch comedy, don't watch SNL. Watch Mr. Show! I would also recommed Kids in the Hall and Monty Python
