This is the DVD set encompassing all of the episodes from the First season of Comedy Central's hit TV show, featuring comedian Dave Chappelle. I enjoyed the show, and watched it every week when it was on the air. This DVD set shows the episodes without the editing that was necessary to get them on TV, so there is some cursing and nudity. There are also bonus features including un-aired material and bloopers. In watching the season over again, I found some of the skits amusing, but realized just how much better the Second Season was in comparison. I can recommend this DVD set, as I found some of the skits funny. If you are choosing between Season One and Season Two, definitely go with Season Two as it had way better material.
I live Chappelle he needs to come back. I offended everyone..that is why is was so funny...white, black Asian, gay...he didn’t care...😂😂😂 We all need to laugh more and stop being so offended and sensitive. I have had a hard life and laughter is a great medicine.

For those of you old enough you can remember the attempt NBC made in the late 70's to coin in on Richard Pryor's success by giving him his own weekly television show. It only lasted a few episodes, and such greats on the cast were Pryor, Robin Williams and Paul Mooney. The comedy was a little too edgy...but it seems that Dave Chappelle picked up right where he left off - and today's society seems to be ready to listen. Chappelle has one of the most original comedic minds of today. Touching on sexuality, racism and socioeconomic ideas, Chappelle gives a fascinating view on life that is sure to make you chuckle. Paul Mooney, noted earlier, plays in a skit called "Ask a Black Guy", in which anyone can ask a black person questions they have have felt uncomfortable about...truly hilarious. It seems that Chappelle's quick rise to the top has had an effect on him. His third season was well publicized in 2005 and then abruptly cancelled. It is set to show in 2006 - but we will see. Most Chappelle fans already own this. If you are just discovering him, pick up this and also the movie "Half Baked". Warning - if you are sensitive to the use of the "n word", this may not be for you. However, if you are openminded to the racial tensions in the world, you'll get a kick out of this. ...Another review by Sublime Boutique.Read full review
The show aired in 1 hour blocks and each episode from season 1 is presented on this disc set, along with bonus footage. The hard core comedy is what is most appreciable. Chappelle is fearless in the manner he approaches comedy, and the sketches are clearly representative. Be aware that you may not agree with the viewpoints displayed, but you have to respect the comedy and parody, and the fact that it is FUNNY! Chappelle's comedy is not meant for the enjoyment and comedic aspect alone. His humor also addresses the racial and cultrural differences in society, political segments, and certainly requires Parental Discretion. Thanks. KC
Dave Chappelle is a rare thing in the world of comedy. He dives right into the touchy topics of race, religion, politics, and racism, all while remaining balanced and poking innocent fun without offending anyone who can think critically. The first season was groundbreaking and seemed untoppable- then he came into the second season strong and blew his first season out of the water. In fact, the first disc of season 2 alone is comedy gold almost anyone can appreciate. If you are ultra conservative and think cursing or irreverence are inherently evil, then this is not for you- but if you can embrace the differences of others and satire amuses you, then it gets no better than Chapelle's Show. I think he makes some strong social statements that call the educated mind to reconsider preconceived notions about others and themselves. He also takes stabs at his comrades in Hollywood- you can tell Dave puts a lot of time and effort into making the sketches top notch and creating broad appeal. He gained the respect of the comedy world, the entertainment world, and the common man all at once. In short, this is a must have for anyone who loves to laugh. The quality of his work is simply the best there is. The ripple he created in society will carry on for generations.Read full review
