Each episode of ''Mr. Show'' consists of a series of sketches, at times surreal,<ref name=surreal>{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/w-bob-david-a-revival-any-fan-of-mr-show-could-hope-for/article27234864/|title=W/ Bob & David: A revival any fan of Mr. Show could hope for|last=Hertz|first=Barry|date=November 12, 2015|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|access-date=January 16, 2016|archive-date=November 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161109122521/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/w-bob-david-a-revival-any-fan-of-mr-show-could-hope-for/article27234864/|url-status=live}}</ref> each one transitioning to the next by a link in a manner reminiscent of ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' or ''[[The State (American TV series)|The State]]''.<ref name="your">{{cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2012/sep/13/your-next-boxset-mr-show | title=Your next box set: Mr Show with Bob and David | work=[[The Guardian]] | date=September 13, 2012 | access-date=May 1, 2014 | author=O'Neill, Phelim | archive-date=April 16, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416115051/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2012/sep/13/your-next-boxset-mr-show | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="amazon">{{cite web | url=https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Show-Complete-Fourth-Season/dp/B0002ERXBS | title=Mr. Show - The Complete Fourth Season (2004) - Editorial Reviews | access-date=May 1, 2014 | author=Keogh, Tom | website=Amazon | archive-date=July 27, 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727065028/https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Show-Complete-Fourth-Season/dp/B0002ERXBS | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="interview">{{cite web | url=https://www.npr.org/2013/09/22/223352330/hollywood-said-no-but-mr-show-fans-said-yes | title='Hollywood Said No,' But 'Mr. Show' Fans Said Yes! | work=[[NPR]] | date=September 22, 2013 | access-date=May 1, 2014 | author=[[All Things Considered]] | archive-date=April 16, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416115819/https://www.npr.org/2013/09/22/223352330/hollywood-said-no-but-mr-show-fans-said-yes | url-status=live }}</ref> For example, a minor character in one sketch might return as the major character in the next.  Often, common themes or storylines are returned to at different times throughout an episode. As a premium cable show, its audience was limited. DVD editions, however, opened the show to a broad new audience.<ref>{{cite book|author=Sacks, Mike.|year=2009|title=And Here's the Kicker: Conversations with 21 Top Humor Writers on Their Craft|publisher=Writer's Digest Books|isbn=978-1582975054}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Spitz|first=Mark|year=2011|title=The Oral History of Mr. Show|journal=Spin|issue=April 2011}}</ref>

Every episode begins with an individual introducing the hosts. This role was filled by [[Mary Lynn Rajskub]] in the first two seasons.  After her departure for personal reasons,<ref>{{cite book|last=Odenkirk|first=Naomi|page=52|year=2002 |title=Mr. Show: What Happened?! The Complete Story and Episode Guide|publisher=Squaresville Books|isbn=0971359784}}</ref> the introduction was made by a random character from that week's episode.

Episode titles were mostly quotes from the episode. For example, "Bush Is a Pussy" is written on a T-shirt worn by one of the characters. One of the exceptions is "Eat Rotten Fruit from a Shitty Tree", which is a line in a song within the episode that was eventually performed as an instrumental.

Certain lines of dialogue are often repeated by different characters during the course of a single show. For example there was "I was on the eighteenth hole!" in "The Biggest Failure in Broadway History" and "Who Let You In?" in the episode of the same name.

At the end of each episode's credits, a random celebrity is listed in the "Special Thanks" section. Examples include [[Rick Dees]] in the first episode and [[Greg Maddux]] in the third.
