W/ Bob and David

I have literally no words for how funny this show was. It began and ended with outrageous amounts of sarcasm and satire which I have not seen before in comedy as often as I would have wished for. The actors are fantastic and create an exciting and humorous environment, yet with a deeper story in some segments that really lured your attention away from the fact that it was comedy. I believe this is due to the fact that these amazing actors work together dynamically enough to create such a unique approach by perfectly executing their roles which in this case is being themselves which I find hilarious. This show makes me wish we had more comedy shows that dared to make satire/sarcastic content such as this which takes great amounts of guts.

Splendid! 10/10

A sequel / continuations of 1995's Mr. Show, w/Bob and David picks up where the sketch series left off, more sketches, but now with slightly older actors. Its only 4 episodes, and honestly doesn't bring much the original didn't. Like its okay, but only had a couple laugh out loud moments, otherwise was mostly vague commentary guised as meh comedy. There's also an hour long "behind the scenes / making of" episode which is as long as half of the series itself. If you liked the original definitely give this a watch, if you haven't seen the original, just watch that.

This is modeled after the 1970s comic British TV shows. And in 2019 the 1970s British TV shows still look good. This looks bad. Forced. The camera image quality has gone up, the budget has gone up, everything else is down the toilet.

I understand that Better Call Saul is still airing so Bob doesn't really have time to focus on anything else, but if they do find some they should really produce more seasons of this, it's a great show!!!

What's fun about "W/ Bob & David" is the continuity with the old "Mr. Show". It adheres to the same comedic and production standards; and those standards were notably rough-hewn, seat-of-the-pants, cannabis-fueled, and naturally good-naturedly begged your indulgence while it sang and danced and mugged its way into your heart. I gladly granted that indulgence and in return reaped a modest collection of smiles, laughs, and even the occasional thigh-slap.

Well, actually, more than merely adhering, this new incarnation of Bob and David improves on those standards a bit. The writing is at least as good, and the production values have definitely improved.

It's great to see the old gang back together again! Looks like Johnston lost a little weight (from his S. Silverman Program days) to be able to make the same physical impression as of yore. Ennis is a fantastic talent, great to see again. Well, I'm not here to rattle off the roster. Trust me that the old gang serves the cause with the dependable aplomb.

All that said, I fully understand that all this is hedged 'round by an audience reality: Most folks don't care a whit about the above. They want a sketch show that zings and tickles again and again and again. Key & Peele comes to mind as a counter example: In spite of its general experimental, over-the-edge sensibility it actually rarely missed in its goal to astound, amuse, and entertain, with every sketch. W/ Bob & David, like its predecessor, is honestly a bit scattershot. For some of us, that's part of its charm. If you're like-minded, W/ Bob & David will work for you. Otherwise, you may well be wondering what the fuss (such as it is) is about.
