Mr. Show fans rejoice! After all these years, Bob and David are
finally back together with a collection of hilarious, never-before-seen
scripts, sketches, and ideas that may have just been too good for
Hollywood.
Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, creators of HBO's classic sketch comedy
show Mr. Show, present to you this collection of never-before-seen
scripts and ideas that Hollywood couldn't find the gumption to
green-light. Simply put... Hollywood Said No! Since Mr. Show closed
up shop, Bob and David have kept busy with many projects--acting in fun,
successful, movies and TV shows, directing things, and complaining about
stuff that didn't turn out well to anyone who would listen, and even
alone, in silence, inside their own heads. Hollywood Said No! reveals
the full-length, never-before-seen scripts for Bob and David Make a
Movie (fleshed out with brand-new storyboards by acclaimed artist Mike
Mitchell) and Hooray For America!: a satirical power-house indictment
of all that you hold dear. This tome also includes a bonus section of
orphaned sketch ideas from the Mr. Show days and beyond, suitable for
performance by church groups that aren't all koo-koo about religion.
What you are looking at online, and are about to buy, is chock-full of
comic twists, turns, and maybe a few hard truths. We said "maybe," but
what we mean was "probably not." Now, for the first time, take a peek at
the scripts that didn't get the go-ahead and ponder a world we can only
dream about...and beyond!
