Starring: Dave Chappelle, Liz Beckham Director: Andre Allen, Bill Berner |
The 2003 debut of Chappelle's
Show on Comedy Central marked a high point for the cable
channel, and now the entire, wildly creative first season can be seen,
with hundreds of bleeps removed. That's not to say Chappelle's
Show is perfect entertainment: there are too many moments among
the 12 episodes here that descend into pointless scatology and booty
fever. But for the most part, Chappelle, a talented comic slowly growing
into greatness, is trying to push the sketch-humor envelope and succeeds
at surprising us with original concepts and merciless execution. |
