"Up until last week, I was only vaguely familiar with Chappelle's Show. I had seen a few skits, and I knew it was funny but I hadn't gotten around to watching much of it. After purchasing Season Two, a friend of mind invited me over and we watched an episode. We ended up watching the entire season that day along with some of the special features. The next time I was at the mall I picked it up for myself.
Not many tv shows have made me laugh nearly as much as this has. Between Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories, and Chappelle's take on a children's educational puppet show, this is well worth the $25-30 you'll pay for it. Aside from a couple dull moments (maybe I'm the only one who doesn't find poop jokes all that funny), the season is consistently good. There are a few moments that shine above the rest, like the ones I mentioned above and a particular exchange of words between Wayne Brady and some prostitutes, but just about every episode has replay value.
The musical guests don't usually appeal to me, but if you're like me then it's not hard to fast-forward. It certainly doesn't hurt the show at all.
It's also probably worth mentioning that the show is very vulgar and sensitive people will probably be offended by it, as they have a tendency of doing. This is where the most of the show's funniest moments are though, so be warned."

"First, I gotta be honest. Season one was rather hit or miss for me. At times, Dave struck pure comedy gold. At other times, it was just kind of a "meh" affair. A number of classics emerged from the very good first season, but Dave still had a few kinks to work out until he found just the right balance. In season two, it's perfected.



Bravo.



If, God forbid, he never returns to do season three, Dave's still going to attain that whole "legend" thing. This isn't the first time a television show pushed the envelope (All In The Family, Saturday Night Live, In Living Color, etc.), but as far as pure anti-political correctness goes, it's never been pushed this far before. But here's the good news: Chappelle's Show isn't a hot topic because of the controversy. People like this show because it's friggin' hilarious.



On stage, Chappelle has an every man quality about him. Kind of calm, relaxed; he's funny, charismatic and knows how to talk to the crowd. In the skits, though, is where his talent really shines. He just exudes so much energy with these bizarre characters he plays. And his comedic timing and mannerisms are flawless. Lots of hard work seems to be put into these skits; Dave and his team are to be commended for such a job well done.



For whatever the reason he left, I hope Dave can fix everything, get better and come back. In today's ultra-PC America, people with a sense of humor NEED him to come back.



You rock, Dave."
