“I think the great sketch shows, like 'Python' and 'Mr. Show,' they didn't stick around for very long. There's something kind of cool about that.” ThinkingKindLongShowsSticksPythonMr Show Author:Tim Heidecker
“I felt my personal life was not what it should be. It had nothing to do with Mr. Show - I'm monstrously appreciative and understand what it did for me and to me - but after four years, I just felt like I needed to do something else. I guess I wanted to be in a different place, physically.” ShouldYearsDifferentShowsWantedFeltFourNeededFour YearsPersonal LifeDifferent PlaceAppreciativeMr Show Author:Bob Odenkirk
“When we were on the bus doing the Mr. Show Hooray for America Tour there was a lot of laughter and a lot of pot smoking and a lot of speed metal listening and video game playing.

“I think there's just some fundamental decisions at the beginning that are going to make it different. Our show The Right Now Show is going to be specifically different than Mr. Show because of the talent involved.” ThinkingDifferentShowsDecisionTalentInvolvedRight NowFundamentalsMr Show Author:Scott Aukerman
“It's a very different show because of the elements that we're putting in. There's so many different styles of comedy, but Mr. Show was unique to Bob and David - two of the most brilliant performers and writers there are. Their show was based on them. Our show is a bit more broad. We have a cast of 7, we have guests. We can be slightly more topical.” TwoDifferentShowsBitsComedyStyleElementsUniqueCastsBrilliantBroadsPerformersGuestsBobDifferent StylesMr Show Author:B. J. Porter
“Some of the subject matter is a little less weighty. When we were writing for Mr. Show, we were talking about how is this going to stand up to the test of time.

“And with this show we're trying to be a little sillier. We can do a piece like one we wrote the other day called "Ghost Busters Busters". Where would never do that in a million years on Mr. Show, but somehow on this show it's silly and stupid and a little more disposable, so we can do something like that.” TryingYearsLittlesShowsCan DoMillionsPiecesStupidSillyGhostCan Do SomethingDisposableBustersMr Show Author:B.

“We're having so much writing some of the sillier stuff that never would have been on Mr. Show. And that's not a knock on Mr. Show at all, because it's my favorite comedy show of all time. Even before I worked on it. It's just really refreshing to write something so stupid and say, "We gotta do that."” WritingHas BeensShowsStuffComedyStupidMy FavoriteAll TimeRefreshingComedy ShowsMr Show Author:B. J. Porter
