CLASSIC TV
ON DVD:
Chappelle's
Show - The Lost Episodes (Uncensored) Starring
the most innovative comedian to hit television since Jackie Gleason, Chappelle's
Show's lost episodes have been released on DVD following their raucous
premier on Comedy Central.
So why did Dave Chappelle's walk a way from millions of dollars and millions
of viewers? There are flashes of sheer genius on display here, especially
when Chappelle's spoofs his new found fame and fortune and how it affects
him. In other instances, it looks like Dave might have walked away from
the series because he had run out of steam.
Fans of Donnell Rawlings and Charlie Murphy (count me in) will find their
presence magnified to fill in for the missing host; as such, this is not
so much Chappelle's' Show as the Charlie Murphy / Donnell Rawlings
program. (Will someone please tell me there will be a Charlie Murphy show
in the future - or is he too hardcore for a Comedy Central solo show?)
Myself, I was missing Paul Mooney.
One can't help but think of the unfulfilled promise here but no one I
know believes this is the last we've heard from Dave Chappelle's on television.
In the meantime, this DVD set represents the end of an comedy era - and
something you'll definitely want to own for your library.
There are over an hour of extras on this DVD collection along with guests
stars like Spike Lee and Susan Sarandon - with extras including a fascinating
behind-the-scenes documentary, outtakes, bloopers and more. The best part
- it's less than $16.00 if you order now from Amazon. Gotta get
this one!
