He was over the top at times, and seemed to realize it...some very odd statements about wanting more money when he was given 50 million tho...most comedians are complex individuals...I can understand he wants more control, but 50 million wasn't peanuts either.

Dave Chappelle is the TO of television.

Maybe they thought he wasn't PC enough, but with South Park and Mencina I can't really see that...I think he had an anxiety attack about material, because before he bolted for his Ricky Williams tour, he said the money was a dream come true...I can understand his wanting more creative license, but the money is a smoke screen IMO.

It is only about 4 shows worth of stuff he did before he bolted, it has been cut and edited by other people than his staff, I hope it isn't all choppy and unfinished. Comedy Centeral keeps trying to squeeze more cash out of their biggest star, I think South Park is getting a little old now

Mind of Mencina was pretty good as usual...He destroyed all obsolete tech by letting a mini-me Gallager destroy them with a huge wooden mallet...
Fax Machine, corded phone, Nintendo64 (pay attention here Pubes)...he had taken a pager from an audience member and said he wouldn't destroy it...He took it outside the studio and half a dozen gansta guys shot it up off the pavement...I'm not sure if they were real bullets, but it certainly looked like it...
That guy is nuts.

I didn't read anything that said he wanted more money....he wants more control of the money.
good to hear he's back.

What part of "control of the money" from the DVDs didn't you understand?"...he's going to be a financial consultant to his producer? This is all a smokescreen...something else happened. He's given more stories than those kids in aruba.

I love family guy, but even it will grow tiresome soon, (only so many 80's refrences you can make fun of) I used to watch the Simpsons all the time but not any more, it has just lost it's edge compared to FG. South Park was good, I got into it a little and know most of the "classics" but now it seems to be the same kinda stuff to me. I just can't get into it anymore.
