This week's DVD & Blu-ray releases

Chappelle's Show : The Series Collection DVD, Best Medicine As comedian Dave Chappelle has stated many times when talking about the perception that he ran away from the reported $55m he would have made from continuing his TV show, "I didn't run, I walked … like John Wayne, I walked." You can tell something was off in the three "lost episodes" from his final season: a sketch about being charged $11,000 for a haircut isn't going to get many going, "Ooh, that's so true, I hate it when that happens." The more money at stake, the less freedom Chappelle was given and his methods were hardly conventional to start with. For instance, he noticed Charlie Murphy, brother of Eddie and member of Chappelle's writing staff, was cracking everyone up with his amazing, star-studded tales. So Chappelle decided to have him tell his tales on the show, resulting in some classic sketches like Murphy and pals being trounced at basketball by Prince And The Revolution or the jaw-dropping stories about coke-addled superfreak Rick James ("I'm Rick James, bitch!"). It may not seem immediately apparent, but Chappelle's closest comparison would be Chris Morris; Chappelle's many sketches that mercilessly attack racism cut to the quick as well as anything on Brass Eye. Here you get two stone-cold classic comedy seasons and a smattering of odds and sods. Some great extras too, including more Charlie Murphy tales, Chappelle's stand-up, and bloopers.
