Mr. Show with Bob and David (1995)
Poster for Mr. Show with Bob and David
Starring Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) and David Cross (Tobias in Arrested Development), and a long list of supporting cast (including Jack Black, Paul F. Tompkins, Sarah Silverman, and Tom Kenny (voice of Spongebob). Its quite good, especially for a sketch show, with more hits than misses. Some of the jokes haven't aged well and its underlying themes can be a bit problematic, but perhaps was created more as a satire of television at the time and pointing out its flaws, rather than something new. HBO let them do a lot of things shows really couldn't at the time, and I think paved the way for a lot of sketch comedy going forward.
