EricMM 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I think he's just really worried about the quality of this new season. I think he's just going to keep doing "shows" til he has enough quality material to make a season. I can't fault him. At this point, I'm pretty sure CC will bend over backwards for him considering how fucking over he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JHawk 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 They're also pushing back the release of the Season 2 DVD set because Paramount wants to wait for the season to debut. My thought: Why did they even bother advertising the debut of season 3 if they didn't have enough episodes in the can to guarantee them airing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Rumor is that Dave's had a nervous breakdown over the pressure of the new season. Could be complete crap, but the longer the delay, the more I tend to think there's a possibility that it's true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I'm thinking that either he's still under the weather or he's got some "personal demons"... Ding ding ding, we have a winner! This is one of three things: 1. drug problem 2. artistic fear of being put under so much pressure to produce for the 3rd season 3. something we don't know about, like some close relative died & he's depressed, or he accidentally cut off one of his balls while shaving them, or some other stupid thing like that. And godDAMNit why do they keep pushing back the DVD release date? If they do it for too long, everyone will forget about the fucking show and the sales will suck.

BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Dang, well I guess it's better having it pushed back than having a half assed season...but g'damn, why do they have to push the dang dvd back too? Throw us a friggin bone.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted May 5, 2005 That's what I get for cheering for the "Season 3 begins May 31st" commercial. If Chappelle's Show doesn't begin soon, the terrorists win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised if he only did one more year. I think he's putting way too much pressure on himself because of the success of season two. He has to stop thinking that he needs to have a Rick James type skit from now on to consider the show and himself a success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted May 6, 2005 I felt Season 1 was either a hit or miss episode. 1 episode would be off the wall awesome, then the next would have maybe 1 funny 3:00 sketch. Season 2 was a lot better, and I really can't think of 1 sketch from that season that wasn't any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually the rumor (never confirmed BTW) going around was that the reason for the season two set being delayed is because of the fact that the people owning the rights to Rick James's music wanted a shitload of money for the rights to use his music in the Rick James episode. Which created problems since Paramount is notoriously cheap about paying for music (which is why the season one DVD set omitted just about all of the musical guest segments from the DVD set).
