Mr. Show (also known as Mr. Show with Bob and David) was a sketch comedy series featuring former Saturday Night Live writer/comedy actor Bob Odenkirk and stand up comedian/actor David Cross. It aired on HBO from November 3, 1995 to December 28, 1998. Reruns can currently be seen on Comedy Central in an edited form.

Each episode of Mr. Show essentially consists of a series of skits, each one transitioning into the next by way of a tangential, or sometimes direct, segue, called a link; for example, sometimes a minor character in one skit is followed as the major character in the next. Often common storylines or themes are returned to at different times throughout a given episode. The show is highly unpredictable and often quite absurd. It is regarded by sketch comedy aficionados as containing some of the best work of its era, though as a premium cable show its audience was limited. The DVDs, however, have sold well, and have opened the show up to a new audience.
