Mr. Show: The Complete Collection (1995)

Some shows just aren't for the masses...

...which is why this show only lasted four seasons. Not every sketch is a hit, but this show provides many of the biggest laughs I have ever had watching a TV show. My personal favorites are: the one where the Buddhist colony competes against those spoiled rich kids from the fat camp, "Probings: Monster Party Songs," and "Monsters of Megaphone."

You don't have to be a stoner to appreciate all of this comedy, but sometimes it helps. August 5, 2008

Renaissance of Sketch Comedy in America

I love this show so much. So raw racy and crazy. it is a wonderful addition to anyone's collection if they love the art of sketch. All hail Bob and Dave!!! June 21, 2008

show me your weenis!

A great show, very funny and i highly recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh themselves stupid. However, i do wish there was a play all option(HBO is notorius for this) for those of us lazy folk that like to sit back and watch for hours without pushing buttons. But dont let that deter you from owning this awesome chunk of funny. January 16, 2008

Just ordered it (from Best Buy)

The price on Best Buy is $27 now!!! I just ordered it for my brother, because he is a big Arrested Development fan. Thanks to the person with the Best Buy tip below... I probably would have ended up just getting the season 1-2! November 28, 2007

Greatest of the Satirical Sketch Comedy Shows

I'm a fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus, Saturday Night Live's beter stuff (including the great period in the late 80's/early 90's when Mr. Show's Bob Odenkirk was on the writing staff), SCTV, and Kids In The Hall. Great shows all. But this one's even better than those.

If you like intelligent comedy you have to check this show out. It's not perfect - like all of the above-mentioned shows there are some dull or effete patches. But it's chock full of genius. It's a tad edgier and more cutting than most of the above (believe it or not). It creates its own smart, funny universe and it's a treasure.
