The Ben Stiller Show (1992–1995)
8/10
One of the gems from the early 1990's Fox line-up, and somehow still funny today.

This show was what SNL should be but hasn't been for a long time. If you can get past the Ben Stiller injecting himself in every single sketch (well it is his show) there are a lot of clever sketches. Almost never do they drag on, fall flat or come across as un-funny, and the supporting cast (Andy Dick, Garofalo - is there another?, and Pre-Saul Goodman, Bob Odenkirk) are very good in this show.

It seems a shame this show wasn't picked up after one season, 13 shows and that's the end of it all. And they were great shows: A "Die hard" rip-off, "Oliver Stoneland" (featuring "Mr Morrison's wild ride" with a Morrisson figure sitting atop a bridge with the bottle in his hand, yet), you never knew what you were going to see when this show came on and at the end of the 30 minutes, I always wanted more show!

If you get a chance to watch this old show, don't miss it.
