For its brief and shining moment--12 aired episodes, to be exact--The Ben Stiller Show, which aired on Fox in 1992, recaptured the anarchic spirit and subversively funny voice of first-season Saturday Night Live and SCTV. More too-hip-for-the-room than ahead of its time, the show suffered dismal ratings and was unceremoniously cancelled. It then went on to win an Emmy for best writing and attract a fervent following, enhanced by the fact that the series has seldom been syndicated. This long-awaited DVD release fills not a void, but an abyss. To watch Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick, and a pre-Mr. Show Bob Odenkirk at the dawn of their mostly unconventional careers, romp in the show's opening is akin to watching the Beatles frolic on that football field in A Hard Day's Night. Stiller and company's pitch-perfect and intimately observed skewering of movies, television, and show business convention could be exhilarating, as witness "Woody Allen's Bride of Frankenstein" (you'll never watch another Allen film with a straight face again), "Cape Munster," with Stiller as a psychopathic and vengeful Eddie Munster, "Skank," a potent comment on the crass programming that was initially Fox's stock in trade, and even brilliant riffs on the seminal reality series Cops, which re-imagine the series in witch-hysteric Salem, Massachussetts, ancient Egypt, and medieval times.
In addition to the cast's uncanny impersonations (Stiller's Bono, Tom Cruise, Bruce Springsteen, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Bruce Willis, and Garofalo's Juliette Lewis), The Ben Stiller Show was home to a gallery of recurring characters--agent Michael Pheret, the No, No, No Guy--who, thankfully, SNL producer Lorne Michaels was not around to parlay into godawful films. The topical humor can't help but date some of the material (the show is a veritable Trivial Pursuit of pop culture references, from The Partridge Family to Beverly Hills 90210, but the brilliance of the writing and sheer abandon of the performances are still a joy to behold. --Donald Liebenson

Of Course a lot of this comedy is dated - it was a product of it's time; it was definitly a show to watch when it originally aired. Though some of the sketches fall flat (like SNL) the best ones remain classics to this day.
I could make an excellent 1 hour Best-Of version of these two DVDs that would make most people laugh their ass off. The Manson & Grungies skits are two of my favorite ever skits & many others are still funny today (PJ O'Pootertoots, Cops, Melrose Heights (Odenkirk ... Read More

Anyone who doesn't laugh at this simply doesn't "get" the humor & needs to further his/her education. This DVD set is great for anyone smart person who appreciates the early 90s.

This is a great although short lived show. You can see a bunch of Bens future characters on this show, like the "do it, do it" guy from starsky and hutch. Great bits: The dead head insurance salesman, Tony Bobbins, the anti-drug speaker. Great show.

After 4 episodes I pulled the plug. Yes some funny situations but lots of "inside" jokes, repeated jokes, mumbled delivery. Stiller +company have definitely improved since then!
Rating: -
Totally 90's. This show has some wonderful skits, most of which were Ben Stillers'. For fans of Ben Stiller, watch a young Stiller, a native New Yorker, son of brilliant comedic Hollywood parents, begin his career. Though confident and cool, there is an awkwardness visible in the little cut scenes in between skits, where we see a Ben Stiller begin to find himself ever so innocently as it seems. The Cops TV, Bono and Springsteen skits are the best. At thirteen episodes, the whole series could be watched ... Read More
