	The Ben Stiller Show DVD Review - MovieWeb (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Show is that the latter has a timeless quality about it that isn't locked into a certain decade, because it didn't really parody pop culture at the time it was produced (and when it did, it was with stuff we still know and talk about today).
		Stiller is at his best in "Legends of Springsteen," which extrapolates on the singer's peculiar habit of appearing in random bars for impromptu concerts.
		Stiller does yet another installment of both "The Pig Latin Lover" and "America's Most Suspicious." The most notable turn taken by this episode is Andy Dick's run mocking Sandra Bernhard as she goes through a casting call for Beethoven.

	THE HIGH HAT \| STATIC: The Ben Stiller Show on DVD
		Stiller had made a maskeshift version of the show for MTV in 1990, and he and Apatow eventually convinced executives at HBO to take on a similar project.
		Although this history shows up in bits and pieces on the commentary tracks, most of the commentary is devoted to talking about the episodes themselves and the cast and crew’s memories of the production.
		The participants knew early on in its run that the show was almost certainly doomed (the source of quite a few jokes in the episodes), and this removed much of the pressure to conform to the usual standards of mediocrity.

	Ben Stiller
		Ben Stiller is the son of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, a bickering comedy team famous from the 1960s, '70s, and '80s.
		When Stiller was 10, he had a small role on his mother's CBS lawyer drama, Kate McShane, and when his parents played Vegas, they stayed in the same hotel as Gladys Knight -- and young Stiller played in the pool with the Pips.
		The cast of the latter show included Andy Dick, Janeane Garofalo, and Bob Odenkirk, but the ratings were dismal, and Fox cancelled it without even airing its 13th and final episode.

		Ben was great, along with other comedians, who I can barely spell the names, but Jeaneane Garofalo (sp?) Andy Dick, and the others (they know who they are) all added to the show...
		Stiller and cast were perfect, the skits were top-notch, and it never had a bad episode.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Ben Stiller Show
		Born of a show done for MTV, The Ben Stiller Show aired on the then-fledging Fox channel from September 1992 to January 1993.
		But many bits are just insane little gags ("Ben Stiller's Wheel of Filler") or a sketch like "The Legend of T.J. O'Pootertoot's," in which a new waitress (Garofalo) working at a T.G.I. Friday's-esque theme restaurant finds out that the secret ingredient in their specialty dishes is human meat.
		Like any sketch show, there are spots that don't work, but no episode is without merit and the cast is all game with many laugh-out-loud funny moments, making one wish that Fox had given the series a little longer to come into its own.

	SacTicket // Movies // Ben Stiller
		Stiller grew up on TV sets while watching his still happily married parents Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller (George Costanza's father on "Seinfeld") make their livings.
		Young Ben spent much of his childhood watching the greats make films and TV shows -- he hints that his contact with Steven Spielberg (during 10 weeks on the set of "Empire of the Sun") helped shape his understanding of film.
		Stiller moved on to star in three movies in 1998 alone, including the immensely popular romantic comedy (or, rather, comedic romance) "There's Something About Mary." His starring role in the romp through raunchiness didn't do much for Stiller's intellectual prowess, but it sure made him a public figure.

	The Ben Stiller Show
		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.
		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.
		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.

	slant // magazine.com: DVD Review - The Ben Stiller Show
		One of the more interesting innovations of the show was its use of multiple formats, from gritty 8mm interludes between sketches to the polished cinematography of the film parodies, with plenty of stops in-between shot on regular video.
		Though at one point Stiller makes cracks at other commentary tracks "where the director just kept repeating 'Oh, I love this scene,'" the show's cast and crew can barely contain their nostalgia throughout, even waxing fondly over an apparently ugly incident over who would get to play the Mummy Woody Allen.
		Also included is the brief history of The Ben Stiller Show, which is appropriately brief and includes clips from the MTV version of Ben Stiller's show and alternate versions of the interstitial segments.

		The Ben Stiller Show, whose first and only season on Fox has just been released on DVD along with unaired sketches, audio commentaries, outtakes, and more, holds a prominent place in the "Too Good For TV" pantheon, thanks to its scathing pop-culture satire and the auspicious careers of its gifted ensemble.

		Among the most critically acclaimed and criminally short-lived ventures in television history, The Ben Stiller Show debuted on Fox in 1992 and barely made it into 1993, despite the uproar from its small but vocal fan base.
		Bursting with energetic savagery, the show comprised a series of sketches, generally sending up other programs, often those from its own network -- perhaps reflecting its peculiar pedigree, as it was one of the first shows produced for network telecast by cable giant HBO.
		Created by Ben Stiller and Judd Apatow, the series featured '90s all-star hipster comics Janeane Garofalo, Bob Odenkirk, and Andy Dick in advance of their big breaks.

		The bottom line is that Stiller is massive and the rest of the talent associated with this show are not.
		I believe that Stiller is so big primarily because the universe is a very unfair and cold place that rewards plastic simplicity and moronic narcissism over talent and quality.

	Is Ben Stiller wearing out his welcome? - Tara vs Sarah - MSNBC.com
		Very shortly, Ben Stiller will appear in “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” — the fourth of the seven movies he is scheduled to release in 2004.
		For any actor, seven movies in a year is a lot, but given that Stiller’s bankability is far from consistent, his ubiquity represents a considerable financial risk for the studios that employ him: there’s a good likelihood that many of the movies included in Stiller’s cinematic carpet-bombing will turn out to be…well, you know.
		Ben, honey, we know you know how to portray hapless neurosis opposite the shiksa goddess of the moment, so you can stop now.

	The Bottom Shelf by Adam Jahnke
		This was back when MTV still played the occasional music video and programming like the Stiller show was the exception rather than the rule.
		Stiller's Tom Cruise and Bruce Springsteen bits are extremely funny, as are Andy Dick's Woody Allen, Garofalo's Juliette Lewis and Odenkirk's Charles Manson.
		Stiller is obviously a fan of audio commentaries and acts as ringleader, keeping the tracks moving along and on target.
