Anybody out there ever watch Mr. Show on HBo or have Mr. Show on DVD? Please post below!!!

Mr. Show was a brilliant series! It's too bad it got overlooked by a lot of people. I don't think HBO gave it nearly as much attention as their other shows.

Still, that show was very funny.

"Mr. Show with Bob and David" was hilarious! Didn't it last a few seasons though?

I got it on vcd when hbo comedy used to run it ever night. Too good. My favorites are the lie detector test, the east coast - west coast puppet rivaly, and the short film about the guy with ******** parents.

"Wake me up when BJ and the Bear comes on."

Priceless.

13. Mr. Show debuts and alt-comedy breaks out

When The State’s CBS deal fizzled, it could’ve introduced a new strain of “Why bother?” into the loosely connected network of comedians working non-traditional rooms across the U.S. Fortunately, a different TV series was preparing to shout those types of questions on HBO, though it would do so with greater insight, poignancy, and humor than any before it. Debuting in November of 1995, Mr. Show With Bob And David was a high-water mark for performers who’d been skipped over during the comedy boom. It was righteously satirical and gleefully profane, the closest American equivalent to Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Ronnie Dobbs and GloboChem made it to premium cable amid a rise in visibility for Bob Odenkirk and David Cross’ peers: Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Paul Dinello did a dry run for Strangers With Candy on Exit 57, and Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist provided an animated outlet for the innermost thoughts of Louis CK, Laura Kightlinger, and Andy Kindler. In New York, Luna Lounge built its reputation with the stand-up showcase Eating It, while alt-comedy godheads Janeane Garofalo and Chris Elliott gave Saturday Night Live a credibility-booster. And just like that, caring, trying, and bothering could lead a young comic to some pretty big stages. [Erik Adams]
