'Chappelle's Show' uproar, 3rd season abruptly cancelled

"In a highly unusual and perplexing move, Comedy Central yesterday stopped production on its sketch comedy hit 'Chappelle's Show.'

The terse announcement came just three weeks before the third season of the popular series was to return to the air, ending a year-long stretch of reruns.

'Comedy Central has suspended production on the third season of 'Chappelle's Show' until further notice,' officials said in a written statement released late yesterday. 'All parties are optimistic that production will resume in the near future. The third season will not premiere on May 31 as originally scheduled.'

A Comedy Central spokesman would not comment beyond the statement.

Chappelle's publicist was equally tight- lipped about the stunning announcement." (more at link)

Darkness! I hope it comes back, I love that show.

Maybe they are just trying to stir some publicity up. I'm Rick James, bitch!
