Excellent but underrated film

A Disappointing Continuation

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Out of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, David was my favorite. He is funny! I liked Bob too. He had quite a few funny moments. Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Tom Kenny, Brian Posehn, John Ennis, Jerry Minor and Jack Black were what made this show great! It was kind of an unorganized sketch show, but that still didn't make the show bad. They would like be talking about something and then it would fade into another sketch and that would change to another. Kind of neat! I love that spooky Halloween like theme song. I always like to whistle it. Even though the show is gone and Bob and David went there separate ways, it still feels like the show is still alive. Mr. Show lives on!

I'm glad that HBO decided to put this out on DVD. I have bought season 4 and i have seen the other three seasons already and i think this show is really underrated. Bob Odenkirk is a genius and has been writing behind the scenes of shows for overtly too long. This show is a living testament to his superbly fun sense of humor. Any old-school SNL fans will love this series. I'm glad that HBO decided to put this out on DVD.HBO's dramas like the Soprano's, Oz, and the Wire, hog the limelight when viewers think Mr. Show is an advertisement for something in between movies. Mr. Show's blend of on-stage performances with pretaped material is revolutionary and will most undoubtedly be copied for generations to come. I have yet to see any other show do what Mr. Show does flawlessly.

Yes there are some really funny characters and performances, but this is not an original format. In the first season there are jokes that are directly lifted (they should have paid royalties) from Monty Python and the format where each skit leads in to the next was also device Python used. Personally, I find Mr. Show funny and amusing but fells like a combination of Greater Tuna and SNL heavily peppered with swearing. Now if they had also borrowed from Python their dicipline to end a skit when it becomes old, it would be great, but often times (like SNL) the skits continue long after the joke is beaten into the ground and is simply working to fill time. Odenkirk can be briliant, but David Cross is the best thing in this show and makes it worth while viewing.

Just got into Bob & David and friends via the 1st/2nd Season DVD, and absolutely LOVE the blend of smart/dumb + the not-so-topical-to-be-dated material. So unpredictable (like an American Monty Python) with easily-identifiable characterizations... David Cross gives me hope (as another balded, bespectacaled geek) So amazing throughout!Even the few low-spots are 5X better than your average TV fare... punching fun at *everything!*, the gag-a-minute pace interweaves unsuspected threads into a hilariously cohesive whole... I guarantee it's a hell of alot funnier than *that* sounds.All social/theological/political/etc. views are subject to off-handedly- thoughtful ribbing.... so no prudes need to check this out. An enthusiastically ravenous recommendation from me! Too much to explain! I've not been so completely entranced since ????Please release the 3rd/4th seasons soon! (+I'll be at Chicago's LIVE Hooray for America Show and pushing for the release od Run, Ronny, Run!)
