Well, comedy central used to show Monty Python's Flying Circus with commercial breaks. It was a little awkward, they just cut out before a transition started or sometimes in the middle of a transition. Then they'd just cut back to it.

The difference between Mr. Show and Monty Python is that Mr. Show sketches ALWAYS have a begining and an end. Monty Python didn't always do that. I'm guessing they would lose some transitions all together for time, and it'll only look REALLY bad sometimes. I totally think Mr. Show could work for basic cable, but I always wished it would end up on Comedy Central. Maybe Mr Show secretly shot clean versions of their sketches, like episodes of "Dream On" did.
