Here is my list:

Monty Python
SCTV
Kids In The Hall
The State

But the following sketch comedy shows are in fact WORSE than Mr Show:

Whitest Kids U Know
Human Giant

Honestly, I don't believe there is or ever has been a better sketch show. Worse ones (not neccessarily bad, but not as good as Mr. Show) in my opinion include SNL (say what you want but it sucks ass now), MadTV, Whitest Kids U Know (never found it funny), Human Giant, Chappelle's Show (I do like it though), and Mind of Mencia (just awful).

I want to say Upright Citizens Brigade, but they're both equally brilliantly written shows.

Monty Python and Kids in The Hall. That is all.

Chappelles show was maybe funnier but not as clever.

Anyone remember that short-lived sketch show on Comedy Central, "The Hollow Men?" I thought that one was pretty damn funny.

It's so difficult to do a sketch comedy show, anymore. Seems like everything's been done!

Hollow Men was hilarious, agreed on Chappelle Show statement. Upright Citizen Brigrade was pretty funny too

Not necessarily better, but Exit 57 was good sketch comedy.

Better or not, I simply must mention "A bit of Fry and Laurie" in this thread.

big train. it's pretty old now but most of the sketches are still laugh out loud funny and some quotes me and my friends still use today. plus, a young simon pegg is in it.

one of the funniest sketches i've ever seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaqxIXs_mn4

the only show that's even half-way as funny -- let alone funnier -- than mr show is hardcoretv, another hbo sketch show that is just AMAZING.

the state was up there until recent dvd re-watched dsapointed me a tad.. sifl and olly still rules, not sure if it counts though it did have sketches and was comedy.. it just starred two socks..
