Ugh. That's all I have to say. Just ugh!

What the hell? Has anybody found any more details on this?

Wow... wonder what's up with that?

Well that sucks.

there was an article in rolling stones a few months ago. It said they are suffering from major writers block. There contract is worth so much more money, and they feel that they have to make the new material that much better than the first 2 seasons.

That really sucks, but if they have to take some extra time to make the show good I don't have a problem with it. However if it's being delayed because of contract problems or any other bullshit I'm going to be pissed.

I was bummed out to hear about that too. Its a great show and hope it continues. Shit, for 50 million, talk about the fucking weather as long as its funny!

Peace!

maybe it's like in the movie 'how high?'... they've run out of their special weed and they can't think of any good material. either way, it's going to be hard to top season 2 regardless what kind of weed they're smoking.

Another article I read suggested that Chappelle has been missing from the set for as many as 3 weeks. And, they have pushed back the release of Season 2 DVD until Season 3 is ready to air.

This would be a HUGE loss if this doesn't pan out.
I love his show and the musical acts he has on. And like somebody else was saying...as long as it is as funny as the first two seasons, me no care. Me likey show. Me want more show. Me getting bored with comedy central reruns.

This sucks. Hopefully Dave, Charlie, and the team will come up with some good material quick.

I'm wondering if this is a money or censorship issue. If it really is just writers block that would be sad. I suppose if Chapelle wants to delay to keep the quality high then that is his perogative, just remember that the American pop-public has the attention span of a gnat. The man tends to ad-lib large parts of his standup show so I have a hard time believing this is a simple writers block issue.

If the missing in action rumors are true, paired with his apparent illness in December, I just hope this doesn't turn out to be a drug thing. That would be a huge letdown if someone as intelligent and hilarious as him got caught up in all that. Stick to the weed, Dave.

I never really got into the show but have seen it a few times. It has been funny for the few times that I have seen it. Everyone is acting like it will be a national tragedy if the show doesn't make it. I don't see the big deal, really

Chappelle's show is one of my all time favorite TV shows ever. I think it would be horrible if the show didn’t make a return. But, I think that Dave is probably just taking some time off and will come back with some stuff. You can't rush genius.

my ONLY gripe with the show is that it has probably twice as many commercials as Adult Swim....and AD is one of the only things i watch, having 3 commercial breaks like Chappelle gets ANNOYING.

but as far as this goes, i hope he comes back. i also hope that he's suffering from writer's block and wanting to make sure his show is quality shit. i dont hope its drugs....but i think he's way to smart for that shit. he makes fun of drugs in a way where he shows they are no good, but keeps it funny.

doesn't look good, here's some updated info

Dave Chappelle's show
 

Here's the link

I was going to post this. Good thing I searched first.

I wonder what the deal is. A guy I work with said immediately that he thought it was drugs, but who knows?

I hope we get the real story sometime.

I really feel for the guy. It must have taken something pretty drastic for him to check himself into a mental facility. Hope he recovers okay and gets back to his comedy.

Tears of a clown is all that comes to mind...

could he be "checking" into a facility in south africa as a publicity stunt? i mean, who could verify that. it's not like there are people over there that know him like people do in the states. who goes to south africa for a mental health facility? no offense to people from south africa in here. :)

That's too bizarre for it to be real... a mental health facility in SOUTH AFRICA?

Hahaha..

If it's real, then it sucks but... it's bizarre.
