Mr. Show with Bob and David - Season 1
This is a sketch-comedy show. The twist here is that all of the sketches (even the monologue) are connected in some strange way.

While Saturday Night Live panders to a lowest common denominator, Mr. Show gave the audience more credit. Perhaps more importantly, it never worried if the audience kept up.

Each show has a natural fluidity, with each sketch bleeding into the next. It's sort of like a comedy bean-salad stream of consciousness.
October 30, 2015
Mr. Show is generally considered to be one of the better sketch comedy series in the genre's history.

While the extremely low-budget show doesn't look like much today, its creative comedic concepts, memorable characters (Ronnie Dobbs), unconventional format, and bold, punk-rock attitude have earned the show credibility...

So consistently bizarre that I sometimes felt a bit lightheaded while watching it - though it might have just been a side effect of David Cross' falsetto voice.

Despite dedicating more time to its sketches and packing in jokes more densely than most shows, it still feels like one of the quickest and funniest sketch shows you've ever seen.
October 30, 2015
Mr. Show offers up a mad world of silliness and satire that recalls the heyday of Monty Python.

It hit a certain mark so definitively that you had to tell your friends about it and thrust it into their hands.

This inspired, inventive show combines the freewheeling creativity of Monty Python's Flying Circus with cabaret theater, and each episode swirls around an ingenious thematic thread that just barely connects things together by the end...
October 30, 2015
One of the greatest pieces of television ever assembled, and a show easily worthy of being considered among the best comedy programs of all time.

Its 30 episodes are certainly worth the hunt, if only to see stars such as Jack Black starting out, funny and fearless.

[The] series was to Nineties humor what the original SNL was to Seventies counterculture: a blast of cutting-edge irreverence that captured a moment.
