Chappelle's Show - Season 1 Uncensored (DVD, 2004, 2-Disc Set)

This DVD set is an absolute classic, even moreso now that there is no longer a Chappelle show.

I like Season 1 even better than Season 2, as they have some of the all-time best skits like Trading Spouses, Wu-Tang Financial, Pop Copy, Blind Klansman and Player Hater's ball.

The commentary is really fascinating as they talk a lot about the creative process and you realize why this show didn't make it. They were running on fumes most of the time as Chapelle and his one writer cranked out sketches (why they didn't hire more writers is a mystery). There is even a skit where Chapelle quits the show with the actual producers playing themselves.

Although it's sad that there is no longer a Chapelle show, the upside is they didn't go long enough to destroy it. They have a great body of work in only 2 seasons. Odenkirk and Cross did this on Mr. Show and limited themselves to a certain number of seasons. You will also probably like Mr. Show if you liked Chapelle and need a fix.
