"Mr. Show" offers up a mad world of silliness and satire that recalls the heyday of Monty Python. ... No convention is left untrammeled, no target left unskewered. And, perhaps most remarkable given the recent spate of less-than-hilarious sketch shows, hardly a moment of the show is left unfunny.

The new production is more polished, the casting is so spot-on and the spirit so out of control that whether it's quick-hitting bits at the opening or an extended examination of movie studio rights, the invention rarely gets run over by the execution. [15 Nov 1996]
