I finally got the first and second season DVD for Christmas, and I'm currently watching it for the second time. Mr. Show is quite possibly the best sketch comedy show that the US ever produced (in my opinion, at least) and is currently on the verge of overtaking Kids In The Hall as my favourite sketch show.
Anyone else take any pleasure in the antics of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross?

The Bob is a being of pure light and he will take us all up Heaven's Chimney!

I love MR SHOW! It's so unique! That makes me unique!

Just bough seasons 3 and 4. Rock party. I think for ongoing, timeless madness, Mr Show ranks below Monty Python, but in the same ballpark. This is because like Kids in the Hall (and in turn like MP), it avoided the topical references that ruin skit shows like Mad TV and the Ben Stiller Show and most notably SNL.

I've been to their website. I like reading that Eric Blevins monthly treatment. I think Civillian showed that too me.

David Cross is on Arrested Development. I just noticed that too. Bob is on one episode I've seen.

I would like to check out Mr. Show. How long is each episode? It look slightly "underground".

Each episode is about half an hour long, uncut and commercial free.

I think I saw the Space Ghost Christmas special a long time ago, but I don't remember it well enough to recall seeing Bob and David on it.
