	DVD Review - Best Of The Chris Rock Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Rock isn’t afraid to tackle serious social, racial, and political issues, but always manages to find the humor and absurdity in these situations.
		HBO has put together a first-rate presentation for "The Best of The Chris Rock Show." As my wife would say, "Why would I want to buy something that I can just tape off of TV?" In the past, that was a valid question, but this DVD may change your mind on the subject.
		Due to the nature of the release being a TV show, the picture on the disc is presented full-frame.

	The Chris Rock Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Rock is of the same mold as Chris Tucker and Eddie Murphy--they run their mouths a mile a minute, injecting as many "F" words as possible in hopes that at some point people will laugh because they're trying so damn hard.
		Chris Rock, while having a presentation more forceful (and thus more funnier) than E. Murphy and others, is ultimately just another comedian who takes advantage of the fact that it's OK to make fun of white people (or any race for that matter) because he is fl.
		The Chris Rock show has exposed Chris Rock for what he is. While he was the king of stand-up for a few years (until his third one came out), his show ultimately just sucks.

	THE CHRIS ROCK SHOW
		The show was indeed conducted as if it was going out on the coaxial live; short live or pre-taped bridge comedy segments allowed for a few minutes of musical soundchecking, so the half-hour show could be taped straight through in that exact amount of time.
		“Chris Rock's voice, in musical terms, ranges from pianissimo to fortissimo,” Jones explains, “and I wanted to capture that dynamic range so his voice would be right in the viewer's face; I wanted the viewer at home to feel like they were in the studio audience.
		The show was videotaped to Digital Betacam, and the format's audio tracks were used to isolate the main mics, including Rock, the interview guest, sketch actors, Grandmaster Flash, as well as the stereo bus of the audience, in case something crucial was flubbed.

	CANOE -- JAM! Movies - Artists - Rock, Chris: Rocket man
		Rock has pocketed two Emmy Awards for his HBO special, Bring the Pain; signed a seven-figure deal to star alongside Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon 4; wrote, produced and starred in the rap-parody movie CB4 at age 26 and has done commercials, other comedy specials, a book, CDs and sold-out performances.
		Show With Bob and David, two additions that seem to be an attempt by the network to balance a schedule heavy with reruns.
		Rock knows fame is fleeting, but he explains the success of The Chris Rock Show by comparing comedians to preachers: Each have their congregations who will faithfully come to listen, and Rock was already becoming hugely famous and well-respected before the television show began airing on HBO last fall.

		Lauded by critics, showered with awards, Rock is determined to remain one of this generation's strongest comedic voices.
		Rock began his triumphant run on HBO with 1994's "Chris Rock: Big Ass Jokes." Deemed "utterly anti-PC and utterly fearless" by the New York Post, it was awarded a CableACE Award.
		Rock's comic tentacles have also extended to political commentary, with his off-the-cuff take on the 1996 election season finding a perfect home on Comedy Central's (now ABC'S) acclaimed "Politically Incorrect." Rock served as the show's national campaign correspondent.

	DVD Verdict Review - Best Of The Chris Rock Show (Volumes 1 And 2)
		Rock isn't afraid to mix up the racial pot either, taking to the streets of a white neighborhood to petition for a street to be named Tupac Shakur Boulevard or going to Harlem and examining the influence of Tiger Woods, seeing if golf has taken at all in the ghetto.
		One of Rock's favorite bits is the "man on the street" routine, where he takes his microphone and challenges normal folks with the craziest things.
		Yes, this show is a little dated, and some of the comedy is time-specific—a lot of jokes about Clinton-Lewinsky for example—but Rock's trademark wit is in full-force.

		Review: Chris Rock has proven himself to be a fantastic comedian as well as a tremedous political satirist.

		Chris Rock is one of the greatest comedians alive.
		Chris Rock always knows how to make the best laughs out of any situation, and he does it well.
		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.

		Despite his manic and profane delivery, Rock's comedy is often rooted in traditional subjects for comedians: family relationships, misunderstandings between men and women, and observations on how childhood has changed.
		His defense of President Clinton against his accusers is a good example of how Rock's material is almost always bound to offend someone: he slices through the self-righteous rhetoric of the impeachment spectacle, but even the behavior he defends comes in for ridicule with jokes that are extremely funny as well as extremely coarse.
		The pace of this one-hour show is uneven, and some viewers will no doubt find Rock's penchant for using profanity as punctuation tiresome.
