Beware - Incomplete 1 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.
Despite what another reviewer says, yes this set IS edited. I guess they never say "The COMPLETE Seasons 1 & 2" for a reason. I couldn't find anything specific about this set online beforehand, so I finally took the plunge... and am very disappointed. For those wondering, yes the very first episode of the series - with Johnnie Cochran and Prince - has had Prince's performance, and any mention of Prince, completely removed from the episode. On the disc, the episode runs just over 20 minutes long as opposed to the close to 30 minutes of the other episodes. I love Chris, I love this show, but I feel that I've been had by HBO thanks to the very careful wording on the packaging and the lack of any detailed information about this set elsewhere. At this point, I haven't yet gone through the rest of the set to see what may be missing, but having such a huge chunk cut out of the first episode isn't a great way to start.
a good laugh for fans 3 out of 5 stars.

not a bad dvd but it still has not covered all the shows, i know of 1 that is missing, the one when he has marion barry on, which i must add is why i bought it, but still has some good guests and interludes, good for fans.

Not as good as i expected, but I am from Australia, and most of the jokes were based on American celebrities. Still great tho!
The best to who 3 out of 5 stars.

This product isnt as good as the title says, i think it'll be better to buy the chris rock seasons, the runtime of the shows is limited, doesnt have much extras and menus, so i suggest to buy the chris rock seasons, or the stand up shows, those are better
Chris Rock Show season 1 and 2 4 out of 5 stars.

I am a South African and Chris Rock is brilliant, in all his shows I have discovered that you don't have to be an American to understand his jokes, he coveres everything. Yes, I can not wait to see him in June when he comes to Cape Town. I have seen some of his shows however if I have to choose between this show of 1997 and "Bigger and Blacker" I will have to choose the B and B. I give that one 5

Chris Rock is Much Funnier Than This DVD Shows 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Some people are more suited for sketch comedy while others are better at standup. Chris Rock is definitely a standup comedian. Be forewarned that this is a collection of moments from his HBO show and not a standup set. These sketches are not very funny nor are they original.
Not as funny as you might guess 2 out of 5 stars.

Though I'd never seen the show, I ordered volume 2 because Chris Rock is the funniest man in the world. I was really disappointed. It's nothing like his stand-up. It's just a not-great sketch show. I laugh more during any given episode of SNL. The taxi cab confessions stuff is pretty good. Not worth owning.
Never seen an episode 5 out of 5 stars.

I was in for a treat. This was al new Chris Rock of me. And I ate it up. Chris Rock is simply the best comic in a one man show. I don't have cable TV, and if I did, I would never be home to watch it, so with this being my first exposure to the Chris Rock Show, no wonder it is the hit it is. Great work.
Editorial Review:
A high energy mix of comedy that takes it to the streets. Featuring such classic momemnts as: a petition to re-name cross bay boulevard as tupac shakur boulevard in a predominantly white neightborhood. Chris rocks outrageous taxi drive confessions. Ike turners the rules. And much more. Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 05/30/2006 Starring: Chris Rock Run time: 59 minutes Rating: Nr

Until season release sets come about, this one's it. 5 out of 5 stars.

The first Best-Of had some great skits, but having now seen volume 2, I know there's MUCH MORE out there that deserves to be released as well!
Chris Rock always knows how to make the best laughs out of any situation, and he does it well. Spoofing society and all within and all that it makes, skits like "Mike Tyson for President", "Progress Report", the exceptional "Halle Berry 911", "S**tstorm" (okay I bleeped two letters but it really is gut-bustingly funny to watch!), "Racist Toys", "UPN News", "Baby 1 Credit", "Make You Wait Hair Salon", the never-stop-laughing "Educational Video", and basically all the rest will keep you in stitches! In short, even without namedropping some of the skits, the only one that failed to amuse me entirely was "The Next Great White Hope". But even then, that one still had its moments.
Audio and video quality are rather good for a contemporary TV show release. Video is mostly crisp, though there is some artifacting that might not look good on HDTV. But that's hardly worth complaining about. No demerit marks for these issues.
I wish HBO would release this series because it's the funniest show I've seen in years. Which is odd considering it's now 2005 and his show ended in 2000, but I digress.
One tiny disclaimer, there is some profanity involved (after all, this show was on cable, where free speech can generally be exercised unless you're a news network, but I digress...), but it's not overly done and often it's intelligently written in. So even if those naughty words are normally a turn-off, at least Netflix it - either way, you WON'T be disappointed!
