Please use the matplotlib-users list for matplotlib questions. By the way, four 
versions of your message made it to this list. I'm sure the repetition was an 
honest mistake, but there may be things you can do to prevent it in the future.

To answer your question, you are probably using an older version of matplotlib 
than 1.0.0. The ability to use show() more than once was only added in 1.0.0:
