MR. SHOW WITH BOB AND DAVID: FANTASTICAL NEWS REPORT {BEST OF SEASON 1, 2 & 3} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of sketch comedy programs starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. This episode is presented as a faux news report to promote the upcoming fourth season of "Mr. Show." It features highlights from seasons one, two, and three and previews for season four. The first clip shows NASA's patriotic plans for blowing up the moon, which go awry after a chimpanzee's inquisition. Next, a prospective employee for the "Shoe Court" faces an interesting lie detector test. During one news reporter's flashback, he visits "The Altered State of Druggachusetts," where something as simple as ordering a pizza presents a great challenge. Finally, heavy metal band Titannica visits one of their biggest fans in the hospital, just days after hearing one of their songs prompted him to jump into a vat of acid trying to commit suicide. The program ends with Bob and David presenting clips for the upcoming season.
