Chapelle's Show ain't coming back

[Space Sheriff Gavan]

Oh well.. Life goes on. I didn't think the show was funny anyway. The Wayne Brady sketch was an exception, but that was it

I think it was funnier than a lot of the stupid **** Comedy Central plays nowadays, like Reno 911 and South Park. People say Reno 911 is like the TV version of Super Troopers, but I didn't think that was funny. I did like Chapelle's Show because it relied on his comedic gift, and didn't just spend the entire time making fun of white people like most black comedians. I don't even like white people and it still gets old.

Reno 911 is crap as well. That channel has officially gone down the toilet

Except the Daily Show, which is awesome

I really don't care if Dave doesn't come back to sketch comedy. I liked him back when he did stand-up, even got to see him live doing stand-up. I hope he doesn't completely give up the comedy game.

Yes the Daily Show is good and I can't believe I forgot to mention that. Tough Crowd is also a really funny show but I don't catch it much anymore.

It doesn't come on anymore. At least...I don't think it does.

Tough Crowd had its moments, but I could never understand what the **** Colin Quinn was saying. I'm pretty sure he was wasted for every taping, because he slurs his words like crazy. Makes all Irish folks look bad, if you ask me. I'd love to watch the show again with subtitles.

I'm Irish and I feel cooler for watching Tough Crowd! The main attraction though was listening to the comedians bash each others' political points of view. That's just my kind of thing. :laugh:

I loved Tough Crowd, I watched it every night (even when Comedy Central gave it its test run in late '02 for a couple of weeks). It started to go down after a while -- I think when Colin knew Comedy Central was close to pulling the plug, so he tried these weirdo attempts and being different, like the elimination of chairs for the guest comedians (WTF!?!) or getting "names" to drop by (the show worked best with Colin's nobody comedian pals).

I think people rather write Colin off as an unintelligible idiot than try to listen to him -- I understood him fine (well, maybe except when he got into one of his super-pissed quick rants) and I think he's one of the best comedians out there. He was consistantly funny every night, so even when I didn't like the panel of comedians, I knew Colin would be good. I was about the only person who liked him on "Weekend Update," too.

I liked Chappelle, too...that and Tough Crowd were the only original shows on Comedy Central that actually featured "comedy." I always had a sneaking suspicion that Comedy Central killed Tough Crowd because Chappelle was becoming a monstrous hit -- and look how that bit them on the ass! They're stuck trying to make the painfully unfunny Reno 911 a hit!

What pisses me off the most is Tough Crowd was canceled, lack of viewers stated as the reason (although Colin said it became "too political" for the suits) to make room for "Blue Collar" reruns and/or "Daily Show" reruns.
