calzephyr | Mr. Show

When Mr. Show 1st and 2nd seasons showed up on the free pile at work I felt quite lucky to grab it; after three episodes for, I wish I had never picked it up. It simply is not funny. I love David Cross, but ugh, Mr. Show just comes off as a bad imitation of Kids in the Hall with poor timing, a lack of nuance and plain annoyance. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked it as a teenager - the show screams 1990s. Maybe in later seasons they got better, but I'm definitely not going to spend money to find out :-D
