Comments: I never really got into Chappelle's Show when it aired. I found some of the sketches funny, but never really became addicted to the show as many did. I picked up the season sets last year for cheap, figuring that one day I'd pop them in. And today was that day. I now find Chappelle's Show to be completely hilarious. Most of the skits are spot-on and funny as hell. It's hard to imagine anyone else getting away with what Chappelle did, which makes the show all the more funnier. Perhaps that's why at the beginning of the first few episodes, Chappelle opens the show ecstatic that they had not been canceled yet. The only downside is that most of the musical performances have been removed, which means each episode runs 16-17 minutes. Other than that, the first season of Chappelle's Show is solid.
