Only seen 2 or 3 episodes, but they all cracked me up. $40 on Best Buy for all that, figured what the hell. Should get it in within the next week. Wish me luck. ---

I love Mr. Show, but it’s very hit-and-miss. Season 1 is the best, by far, in my opinion. After that, it’s all very hit-and-miss. ---

1 and 2 are absolutely perfect, 3 is about 50/50 hilarious or just-plain-weird, and 4 is kind of bad but occasionally knocks one out of the park. Definitely worth owning. ---

How many seasons is Mary Lynn Rajskub in? I absolutely adore her as crabby, nerdy Chloe on 24, and I know she started out on Mr. Show. Is she actually funny? I can definitely see her in more of a straight-woman role. ---

Is the complete collection just the three previous sets bundled together, or did they add new extras? ---

With this purchase you are obligated to buy either [The Altered State of Druggachussetes T-shirt](http://www.kungfunation.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=258) ( **ON SALE** ) or a [Taint Magazine T-shirt](http://www.kungfunation.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=209). You might also be inclined to watch the movie [**Run Ronnie Run**](http://imdb.com/title/tt0258100/), a motion picture spin-off of, IMHO, a lesser sketch from **Mr. Show**. [Bob Odenkirk and David Cross disavow this movie, however.](http://www.bobanddavid.com/interviews.asp) Their final artistic license was revoked and it became a typical piece of overwrought, cluelessly edited, studio politik, piece of crap. ---

I’ve only seen a few episodes of the show, and I’ve found it pretty hit or miss, as others have said. But when it hits, it really hits. Forty bucks for the whole series? ---

[Affirmative.](http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7457316&type=product&id=1488124) I was considering it on Amazon for $75, then the first review mentioned it’s price on BB. That made the choice to buy it much easier.
