Editorial Review:
Following the success of their home video debut, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross are back with MR. SHOW: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON - all ten episodes, 270 minutes plus bonus features - exclusively in a 2-disc DVD set. Like their first release, MR. SHOW: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON includes a veritable cornucopia of bonus features.
Description of Mr. Show - The Complete Third Season:
Who knew that the "Ratings Man," repository of all records concerning television viewership, is actually Santa Claus? Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, stars of the frequently inspired sketch-comedy program Mr. Show, did, and they've got an absurdist skit to prove it on this DVD collection.
Culled from Bob and David's 1997 appearances on HBO, The Complete Third Season includes the wonderful "Hail Satan Network" (a "Praise the Lord" for devil-worshippers), bogus movie-of-the-week "The Bob Lamonta Story" (about an athlete with retarded parents), a Beatles parody ("The Fad 3"), and the hilarious "Hunger Strike" (in which a starving, Gandhi-esque leader wishes to be buried in mashed potatoes). Cross proves a superior performer who salvages several underdeveloped bits, while Odenkirk demonstrates fierce gifts as a mimic. (His puerile, Strom Thurmond-like senator is right on the money.) Don't miss the "Fantastic Newness" special feature, which includes brilliant highlights from Mr. Show's first season. --Tom Keogh
Mr. Show - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
It was a gift 
2007-12-30 - I bought this as a gift for my 22 year old son. It was one of the things he specifically asked for. The rating came from his viewpoint and excitement of receiving it as a gift. I have never watched the Mr Show, but my son says it it hilarious.
Save money, get the whole collection! 
2007-02-16 - The humor is of course worthy of five stars, but if you buy one season at a time you will more than likely pay more than if you get the whole collection. If you watch one season, you'll want to watch another. So check the cost before you buy. Is season three the best? Maybe. It seems to be a matter of opinion, but every season has had absolutely hilarious moments. So I highly recommend getting the whole collection if you haven't already.
Unbelievably-milk-comes-out-your-nose-funny
2005-09-13 - What can I possibly say about these two comedic GENIUSES--Bob Odenkirk and David Cross--that hasn't been said? They GO FARTHER with their skits/humor than ANYONE (except maybe Lenny Bruce) has dared to go. Even on HBO, I can't IMAGINE how these guys survived for 4 seasons, but thank heavens they DID.
Mr. Show is an antidote to ALL the UNFUNNY stuff on today's network TV (and even Comedy Central to some extent). Buy the whole set--all 4 volumes--and you will NOT regret it (oh, unless you are offended by some pretty graphic language and situations)...at times, it's like South Park with REAL people..except that Mr. Show is much funnier and less juvenile than South Park. I love these guys!
A must-have if you love this show
2005-08-23 - Get it! I wish there was more than just 4 seasons. Among the most underrated comedy shows of all time. The audio commentary tracks suck (worse than the voices in my head) but the other bonus material, is good, however limited it may be.
Careful: Will Cause Laughter
2004-10-30 - Mr. Show, season Three, is quite possibly one of the funniest things you will ever see. Unless you're blind, then you're SOL.
The mad minds behind the first two brilliant seasons, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, return to reprise their roles as "Bob" and "David" (apart from understudy Kedzie Matthews, who takes over for Bob when he has to go shopping). They bring the funny, they make you laugh, they make you wonder how such a glorious creation could exist in the absence of a just and caring God.
Quite simply, this is the finest American sketch comedy I've ever seen (and yes, I have seen Mad TV). If you want smart, savvy, hip and hilarious comedy...this will have to do. No, it's better than that. It will change your life.
I used to be in debt all the time, then I got Mr. Show...I'm still in debt, but the laughter they elicit in me distracts from my gnawing hunger pains!
Anyway, get this when you can (preferably before the Rapture)
