Bring 'Em Back

Judging by my posts, it would seem I'm addicted to television. But honestly, I don't watch all that much boob tube, really. Over the past week, I've been reading about Dave Chappelle and how the start of the third season of Chappelle's Show has been delayed. But this morning, I heard news on the radio that he's checked into a mental hospital in South Africa.

This shit really made me sad. From interviews and stories I've read, Dave sounds to be a down-to-earth, laid back guy. Supposedly, he thought his show would be cancelled after a couple episodes, and he would just go back to touring, doing his stand-up act. And it sounded like he would be happy with that. I just hope he gets better, as we need more young people like him--intelligent, witty, socially aware, and piss-your-pants-funny.

    Dave Chappelle is absolutely one of the funniest people on tv. He has taken the word "bitches" to a whole new level.

    The article I read said that he had checked into a mental health clinic in South Africa in middle April, some of the shorts for the next season have been shot, but Dave's segway bits and hosting segments haven't been done. CNN.com has a link to a small article on him. Other sources mention his being a Muslim and recently becoming more religious as a factor. Becoming religious is usually the death stroke to an edgy comic's career, but I guess it's better than going out Chris Farley style.
