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. The merely clever material includes "National Geography's Third World Girls Gone Wild," basically an update on those topless-native-women gags of yore, and Chappelle's "Educated Guess Line," in which the sage comic eschews psychic powers to logically deduce racial insights from his callers' questions. Far more wicked is an in-your-face satire on such autobiographical film fare as Antwone Fisher and 8 Mile, in which Chappelle plays himself ascending from street hustler to rapper-comedian to bona fide savior of America. The best thing here, however, is a parallel-universe version of The Real World, in which the usual racial proportions on MTV's workhorse series are reversed, thrusting a token white guy into a Hoboken houseful of crazy African Americans. There are also laughs in "Ask a Gay Guy with Mario Cantoned," as well as a sketch about an "inner-thoughts cam" and a nasty piece about Chappelle's Make-a-Wish visit to a dying child, which decays into a cruel video game competition. Overlooking the series' weaker material, this is outstanding television comedy. --Tom Keogh

 Very Funny January 7, 2010
Online Shopper (Guthrie, OK USA)
My boyfriend had all the other seasons of the Chappelle Show. This completed his collection. I've already watched many of the episodes, but I hear him laughing in the other room while HE is watching it. If you like Dave Chappelle, I would definitely recommend.
 A very funny show if you are open minded January 3, 2010

Chappelle's show is funny if you are not an Overly sensitive person. there are way to many sensitive people. this show is for all races to watch and basicly laugh at ourselves in good humor. Alot of the skits are race stereotype based but that's what makes it so funny. that's the point its humor about ourselves magnified.Also the Amazon video quality is good.

Dave Chappelle is amazing. While season 1 of his show isn't the best of his work, it's a great place to start. Season 2 is at least twice as good, and you should check out Dave Chappelle's Block Party as well.
Funny,In your Face. Short lived sadly. September 15, 2009
Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
Chapelle's show Season 1 Dvd set. - I find it very funny, Although I can't stand the usual stereotypes of The Reagan/Bush Admin and the little Republican jabs. I find it hilarious, in your face and overall Typical Chappelle, It's too bad he had to sell out and go "find himself" . whatever that means.
Outstanding!!!! March 27, 2009
