Thoughts About the Chappelle Lost Episodes
By: Jason Cunningham (7-20-2006)
I was excited when Comedy Central announced it would be showings the
"lost episodes" from the Chappelle Show. Unfortunately, the showing of these
episodes would not be hosted by Dave Chappelle. At least, Charlie Murphy and
Donnell Rawlings host the episodes, instead of
strangers that had nothing to do with the show.
Since season two of the Chappelle Show, the
world has been waiting for a season three and the return of Dave Chappelle to
the show. Neither one of these two things has occurred. Dave does not appear to
be coming back, nor will a complete season three be aired. So, we are left with
these lost episodes. Strangely enough, it's like watching six innings of a
baseball game, and being told you can't see the rest of it, or watching the
original Star Trek without William Shatner.
I love Charlie Murphy as a storyteller and
writer, but not as a stand-up comedian. He and Donnell Rawlings do not open up
the show as well as Dave Chappelle. Actually, they should just come out at
the beginning and end of the episode. Charlie and Darnell have been as funny as
a current episode of BET's Comic View. In my opinion, Comic View has not been
funny in years.
I really miss Dave Chappelle. The world was a
better place with his weekly humor. The Chappelle Show was something that
everyone could watch and keep on laughing.
