Critic Reviews

Linda Stasi

Sep 27, 2013

Season 1 Review: This show is genuinely ingenious, and hilariously outrageous - not to mention courageous. Plenty of people will find Chappelle's Show offensive - but then again, whenever you do something completely new, it's bound to offend somebody. In this case, it will offend a lot of somebodies. [22 Jan 2003, p.71]

Season 2 Review: Often as crafty as it is racially charged. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A wild and funny thing. [22 Jan 2003]

Season 1 Review: At its best, the show is outrageous and hilarious at once. Read full review

Steve Johnson

Sep 27, 2013

Season 1 Review: If audiences get less misogyny and more of the clever, clear-eyed social observation he is capable of, they may come to understand why he has been forever on the brink of stardom. [22 Jan 2003, p.10]

Phil Rosenthal

Sep 27, 2013

Season 1 Review: There are funny sketches and ones that go down in flames in comedian Dave Chappelle's erratic new series, which is interesting due to the unexplored territories it tills and the way it dares to offend sensitive types. [22 Jan 2003, p.53]

David Bianculli

Sep 27, 2013

Season 1 Review: Although some of the concepts in this premiere episode are clever - a blind white supremacist who doesn't know he's black, a training film at a Kinko's-type copying business that teaches how to alienate customers - the results aren't as sharp or funny as the ideas. [22 Jan 2003, p.74]
