Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Cedric the Entertainer revives the popular combination of sketch comedy and sexy, scantily clad dancers in his TV series Cedric the Entertainer Presents. Cedric honed a kind of cheerful, even gleeful cynicism in movies like Barbershop and Intolerable Cruelty, but he dulls his edge in this show. Which is not to say it's a flop--characters like the Cafeteria Lady (queen of all she surveys and dispenser of corn and mashed potatoes) and the Love Doctor (a marriage counselor with a Barry White fixation) are entertaining, and sketches about a couple named Cecily and Cash take a bemused look at African-American class issues. The supporting cast is energetic and eager (though notably not as funny as Cedric) and the Ced-sation dancers, who wear a wide range of skimpy outfits (including homages to Tina Turner, Bettie Page, and Men in Black), are a babelicious bunch. But Cedric seems to restrain himself, avoiding controversy and sticking with material that makes inflammatory noises but doesn't actually set off any alarms. Cedric the Entertainer Presents: The Complete Series includes six episodes that never made it on the air. Guest stars range from Ice Cube to Rick James to Anna Nicole Smith. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

Part Chappelle’s Show, part In Living Color, Cedric the Entertainer Presents features one of the "Original Kings of Comedy" in an all-out-hilarious sketch variety show that was too hot for network TV. The complete series includes 6 never aired, uncensored episodes.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm pleasantly AMAZED..., October 1, 2004

By	James C Smith (MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

that this came out on DVD, and it isn't even my birthday! Seriously, this show was a complete stitch, and it truly deserved to run for at *least* a couple of seasons. Cedric assembled a rather talented cast, with himself as the rock-solid comedic anchor. There are so few truly funny shows out there, so when this one hit the airwaves, it was the highlight of my TV viewing week. When FOX cancelled this show before it even went a full season, I was seriously dejected, and moreso baffled.

In a way, the show reminded me of the old Flip Wilson Show, with Flip coming out and chatting up the audience, then moving into short comedic skits that were well crafted and thrived off the main star's true talent for making people laugh, not through crudeness or insult, but with good clean fun.

If you like the humor of Jamie Kennedy, Drew Carey, King of Queens, Simpsons, Family Guy or the like, odds are you'll enjoy Cedric's show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great show cut short, September 12, 2004

By	Dan (Charlotte, North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This was a great show that was cut short by FOX. It was the middle of one episode, and the program was cut short because the US began it's war on Iraq. The show never returned to the airwaves. Until now! You can own it on DVD!

Very funny characters (not sure if any reoccur because of the cut short season). If you like shows like madTV, and Chappelle's Show, you will LOVE Cedric the Entertainer Presents. This show is great, and I'm sure loaded with special features. You will laugh for hours!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Show., May 3, 2005

By	D. Gonzales - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've got to start by saying that i've like Cedric's stand up for years.When I heard this show was coming on I was really excited.This show had a funny cast and I think this it would have found an audiece if it had been left on.They had some great skits like Cafetera Lady,Babies,Jingle Fever,& Love Doctor.This show also had some great dancing by the beautiful Sensation dancers.The set doesn't have any extras unless you count the unaired episodes.I'm glad released this series in one nice swoop so you won't have to commit to buying anymore sets.This set has some great laughs that was sadly cancelled before it's time so I suggest you pick this up.
