4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, but there shouldn't be "beeping" on DVD's, November 26, 2008

By	C. Elliston "mooniethecat" (Houston) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you didn't see this show on the History channel it is worth it to pick it up on DVD. You have some of the best comedians around (and one amateur one) just telling jokes and discussing the ins and outs of comedy. The highlight of the DVD now seems to be the interview between Lewis Black and George Carlin. Listening to Carlin discuss comedy is like listening to Beethoven talk about music.

My only complaint that makes this 4-stars instead of 5 is the fact that the DVD is censored. I understand beeping out foul language when it's on TV, but if I'm paying $25 for the DVD, I'd kinda like to hear the "F" word.

Even with the censored language it is still a DVD worth getting, and you will laugh, over and over again even with multiple viewings. The topics range from PG-rated to X-rated, so please be aware that it is not family friendly. But hell, just put the kids to bed, the DVD is funny as hell.

Great approach to the subject. As always, Lewis Black delivers his approach to this subject in his very amusing style. This is a great addition to my Lewis Black collection.
