Hm. Not totally feeling it 3 episodes in. It's not bad, just kinda okay. Probably my expectations at fault somewhat.

Paget Brewster's only skit was really great. It's a shame she wasn't in more of it.

All the eps have been great so far. Sometimes hit or miss but so was the original show, and when the jokes land they hit hard Not sure if I love or am absolutely terrified by the opening credits

Yea there are a few flops but the original show had hits and misses too. It still has the ability to hit it out of the park, though, and god drat I just love having this crew back doing poo poo, there's not one person in the show who isn't awesome.

Only two sketches really approached some of the best of Mr. Show, the Traffic Stop sketch and the oval office one. Both fizzled a bit at their ends, but they had that clever insanity that the best Mr. Show sketches had. All in all, I'm happy they got the chance to make this new show. I'd love to see more episodes, not necessarily based on the strength of this season, but on the strength of their body of work. I get the sense they had a fire in the belly during their Mr. Show days, and this time around they didn't have that same drive to keep digging for the good stuff. As a result Mr. Show got everyone on their A games, this time around 16 years had passed and they were in a different place. That isn't always a bad thing, it just made some sketches run too long, and sketches which didn't mine the material like they could have.

I've seen the first two and really enjoyed them, the only sketch that really didn't land for me was fundamentalist Islam as Hollywood producers, since it didn't really do anything with the idea beyond "Hey, wouldn't this be wacky?"

Yeah, I think that was easily the worst skit. Their skits normally have some kind of ridiculous concept, and then somehow make it even more ridiculous and absurd as they go on. That skit just kind was there, and didn't advance the joke much. However, its influence on the ending of that episode was really great. The 72 virgin joke was really predictable in retrospect, but it was hilarious and kind of perfect. 72 fat white guys hounding them about cult TV shows for eternity really is appropriate for Bob and David.

The Birthday Boys show up for several bit parts. Makes sense, with their ties to Bob.

I'm glad that the Heaven is Totes 4 Realz sketch was a lot funnier than the trailer implied it would be. "We're not going to let you make God out to be some all forgiving monster!"

I'm loving this. It feels very true to the spirit of the original. The sketches feel very thought-out, and even the misses have a bit of a appeal to them. Maybe I'm just a Bob & David fanboy. the 72 virgins, basically

This was a lot of fun but yeah like the definition of hit-and-miss. The very first sketch especially was just horrible, but the hits REALLY hit.

Well that wasn't very good, so much wasted opportunity given the massive writing staff and actually getting the whole gang back together. The best line was "We already talked?" But I do hope the actual "digital" shitbag that works at AOL can never safely walk down the street without people shouting it in his digital face.

I've watched the first three so far and I'm liking it. I agree that it's hit and miss and the hits really hit nicely but I don't think the misses are that bad in the sense that they're not completely cringe-worthy that some sketch show misses are. They're just kind of flat. Which is a fair trade off, considered.

Yeah, it didn't go anywhere, and if it was just political commentary it seemed weirdly late to the game since a lot of comedy shows did bits about western media being squeemish about the Prophet Mohammed years ago. There were no surprises either. I felt like I was missing the joke.

Very hit or miss, the first and third episodes had the higher percentage of good bits I thought.

Wish there was more than 4 episodes so they could really get their stride going. The funniest to me was the Court one. He hit me first! Yeah I asked him where the popcorn was and he didn't respond so I punched him.

I knew nothing about the show going in (I never watched Mr. Show) so I was pleased that the other writers were able to reel in David Cross' inherent... David Crossness and create a loving hilarious show. I was watching the fifth episode and was waiting for the fake making-of documentary to go off the rails in some way when I realized that it was actually a real documentary and they only made four drat episodes. What's up with that?

Bob Odenkirk has his own hit show going and I'm sure David Cross has other poo poo he's working on too. Netflix probably made a deal with them to make however much of this as they want/could.

Watching the "making of" ep (which I too fully expected to be a fake behind the scenes thing) made me like some of the iffy sketches more, just watching them write together. I missed Mr. Show by a few years, but even without that I still had a couple good laughs and it's definitely worth watching.

I've been enjoying this quite a bit. Mr. Show was always hit or miss and I don't blame them for being a little rusty. I hope there's more though, I definitely enjoy it enough to think 4 episodes is way too short. The little bits of text they have throughout their sketches are pretty funny if you pause them.
