Chappelle's Show, "Season 3"

Wouldn't that make him *more* crazy? For walking away $50 million to make a show that is "subpar"?

He claims to have walked away because Season 3 was not as good as Seasons 1 and 2. He is crazy for walking away from $50 million dollars for anything short of them trying to film him shooting his family. But he would look *less* crazy, IMO, if there was a significant drop off in quality from Season 2 to Season 3.

Am I the only one who doesn't think he looks crazy?

He's not crazy and the reports of that were all blown up by the media. He walked away because he didn't think the new stuff was funny and was unsure of putting out a bad show.

I'm not looking forward to the new skits and I think Comedy Central putting them out without Dave's lead-ins and the musical guests is lame.

No no, I get that. I meant am I the only one who doesn't think he looks crazy for walking away from $50 million deal?

I mean, I couldn't do it, but I doubt he's got problems getting work. Gotta respect someone who's willing to put the product before the money.

Ah, yeah I think it's very respectable. It's like Seinfeld going out on top.

As someone who paid $50 a pop to see him in Pittsburgh a couple weeks after "flaking out", I can assure you he's got no problems getting work.

I saw the preview to Season 3 on Last laugh 05, and it didn't look as funny as the previous 2. But who knows it was only a preview.

From what I've read, it's more like he has an obsessive/compulsive perfectionist kind of thing going on, where it's almost impossible for the show to live up to his own standards now. It's sort of respectable, but it's sort of nuerotic. At least that's how I've interpreted the situation.
