From its January 2003 debut -- Comedy Centrals all-time biggest. with more than 2.5 million viewers -- Chappelles Show has been a solid hit. building a sizable audience for this stand-up veteran. The time-tested format finds Chappelle standing before a live audience to introduce a series of sketches featuring Chappelle and other comics. with an emphasis on the politically incorrect. (As Chappelle boasts: 'Its not HBO -- its regular-ass TV!') All 12 episodes of the first season are included in this box set. Five of the episodes feature commentary tracks from Chappelle and his series co-creator/co-writer Neal Brennan. whose first successful pairing with the star was in co-authoring the 1998 cannabis-cult classic Half Baked.
