As with many cultural artifacts, the strongest highlights have survived on YouTube, and many of them are still effectively isolated from their context.
If that strikes you as tragic, just watch the whole series โ even at its low points, Mr. Show is still some of the funniest comedy around. Show got even close to examining rap as a cultural artifact, the results were far from successful.

Regardless, the overall concept โ taking your prognosticator as a lover, and the issues that result from that โ is certainly entertaining enough to distract from the dated stereotypes at play. Medium-funny, slightly unnecessary. Show debut, serial felon Ronnie Dobbs returns โ and perhaps presaging the critically maligned postโ Mr. Show recurring characters: Blueberry Head and he brought props!
