Chappelle's Show - Season 2 delayed

Posted by Gord Lacey

The premiere of Chappelle's Show season 3 has been pushed back on Comedy Central, and the release of season 2 on DVD has been delayed because of it. A new date hasn't been set, but we should hear something when the premiere date for season 3 is locked.

 

Companies often look for ways to get more press for their titles, and releasing the previous season of a series just before the new season provides them with more opportunities to market the DVD release. We often see delays of season sets due to delays of the new season, with 24 Season 3 and Sopranos Season 5 being two recent examples, though the delays of both shows were planned by the networks. Chappelle's Show Season 1 remains the top selling TV-DVD for 2004, and holds the top spot ever according to distributor Paramount Home Entertainment, beating out The Simpsons a few months ago.

 

We'll post news when a new release date is known.

Chappelle's Show Season 1 remains the top selling TV-DVD for 2004

Isn't it the top selling TV on DVD ever?

 

I remember reading it passed Family Guy, but I am not sure about it.

Well, Family Guy isn't the best selling TV DVD of all-time. The Simpsons: Season One was, but I'm pretty sure Chappelle did overtake it.

Over Two Million Units Sold Of “Chappelle’s Show” To Date Compared To

“The Simpsons” 1.9 Million

 

NEW YORK, October 19, 2004 — Popular culture has embraced a new TV

show chock full of edgy, irreverent and provocative comedy. COMEDY

CENTRAL Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment are proud

to announce that “Chappelle’s Show Season One: Uncensored” DVD box set

has become the #1 all-time best-selling TV show on DVD ever with over

two million units sold, according to Videoscan and retail sources. The

two-disc collection of Dave Chappelle’s top-rated COMEDY CENTRAL

series has moved ahead of the previous record-holder, “The Simpsons:

The Complete First Season,” which has sold 1.9 million units.

THAT is impressive.....

Thanks for the proof, GWN. For the record, Bravo had some show on about 2004 discussing DVD sales and how, at the current rate, Hollywood will look to make money off of DVDs instead of theatrical runs.

 

But that always seemed obvious.
