Chappelle's Show [Updated]
Dave Chappelle is back... sort of. Three completed episodes from the "woulda been" third season of Chappelle's Show will be released on July 25th from Paramount Home Entertainment. Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes - Uncensored will include sketches the comedian taped before his sudden departure from the series last year. According to Paramount, sketches include "Dave finally gets to meet the President of Show Business, spends some time in the limelight on MTV's Cribs, and gives his best impersonations of P. Diddy, Lil Jon and Gary Coleman."
Along with the three episodes, the single-disc release also features an hour of bonus features including audio commentaries from series collaborators, "The Fabulous Making of Chappelle's Show" featurette, extra sketches, deleted scenes, a blooper reel and never-before-seen performances from John Legend and Dead Prez. A retail price is TBA.

All I got to say is ... you should have no problem getting this dvd... stores are getting WAY too many.
LIke... WAY to many!
For only 68 minutes of actual material, I am not sure it is worth the MSRP on it myself, just going to get it during some 2/20 deal or something.

Finally watched these and its not worth buying IMO. I can definitely see why Chappelle felt the quality had dropped, but I will admit the Cribs skit had me laughing. Seemed like too much revisiting of old characters though. Enough with Little John already.

I just finished viewing the disc, so I figured I'd share some quick thoughts. The 1st two episodes had their moments, namely the *"racial fairies", and the black lawn jockey, lol. The 3rd episode..meh. A lot of the material did seem uninspired, almost like sketches tossed together to fulfill a contractual obligation that had already gone sour.
Personally, what will eventually sell this disc are the extras. Considering there's only 68 minutes of actual show material, a lot of which is subpar. The unaired sketches are better than the episodes overall. There's also lengthy segments for deleted scenes and the bloopers, the latter of the two, not as impressive, given they dedicated almost 4 minutes to a scene where Charlie Murphy pushes a kid off of a swing. Rounding it out are a handful of musical performances and some CC shorties. There are commentary tracks for all 3 episodes, but again, no Chappelle insight.
* I found it interesting that in the aired segment with the "racial fairies" that the black banjo/guitar player was clearly visible on the seat, whereas on the DVD, he's not there. Ever. You only hear the banjo/guitar when the lawn jock fairy says "this calls for a celebration!".

The episodes on the DVD are uncensored and unedited, though. That, and like I said, the extras make the purchase. It's pretty much the last of Dave Chappelle that we'll see on DVD for a while. $12 a pop, I see a lot of people biting.

I'm doubtful. I think they would have made a lot more had they released it prior to airing them on CC.

I don't think the quality of the unaired episodes will hinder it when you consider all the unused material in extras.

What was the second highest selling TV DVD's of all time?

i'll pick up the dvd and since it looks like it will be cheap, it won't bother me that the episodes haven't been great. getting the 3rd season is the completest in me.
