Cedric the Entertainer Presents - The Complete Series

This brought back so many fond memories so pleased to find it here thank you!!!

This is my 2nd purchase of this set. My Big Bro borrowed my 1st one (that's how much he loved it)...this is when I knew I had to get another set4myself, as my Big Bro was not giving back the 1st set.

While I knew very little about Cedric The Entertainer, save for a few guest appearances on TV sitcoms, I watched this FOX show when it aired in 2002 and 2003, to see if someone could breathe life into the variety show format. It was a brave attempt, and like SNL in recent years, had its moments, but most of the show's humor was not very funny. There is too much off-color and insult humor (the Cafeteria Lady is funny at first, but gets on your nerves after a while), and most of the other sketches are the "same old, same old." I bought this DVD set, because it was cheap, and I wanted to see if the series has improved with time. It hasn't. While hardcore CTE fans will love this show, it doesn't have a broad enough appeal for a mass audience, which is why it was cancelled, though FOX's frequent preemptions for the 2002 baseball playoffs and World Series did not help the show's chances.  The Flip Wilson Show  it is definitely not. This 3-DVD set has 22 episodes, including the pilot, as well as six that were never aired. CTE does deserve credit for at least attempting to bring variety back to prime time; perhaps more music, and greater use of the beautiful Ced-sation dancers, would have helped. CTE replaced Meredith Vieira on WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE? in the fall of 2013. All I can say is: CTE, you're no Regis Philbin, and you only lasted one season; in the fall of 2014, Terry Crews took over as host of WWTBAM. Supposedly, CTE left the show to "lighten his workload," but I'm not sure I believe that. Crews left WWTBAM at the end of the 2014-2015 season; Chris Harrison (THE BACHELOR, and the perennial host of the Miss America Pageant) replaced him in the fall of 2015. With all these revolving hosts, maybe it's time to bring back Reege.

I love this video; really enjoyed this show when it first came out and am so glad to get this on video. Cedric The Entertainer is so funny!!!

I missed it when it was on tv. I was looking for something else and this pop up and I brought it. I wish they kept going because some story lines are missing part 2 or a part 3

I am loving this video set. It’s a laugh a minute! This has been one of my best purchases. My wife loves it too.

I think Cedric the Entertainer is one of the funniest comics around. I had an opportunity to see some segments of the series on Comcast a few years ago, but with a host of commercials. I found out there were some episodes that never aired at the time the show went off the air. The DVD is well worth the purchase. When the show was on the air, I wished the episodes were an hour instead of just 30 minutes. Now I have the collection of all of the episodes.I loved to watch those fantastic dancers that always performed prior to Cedric making his entrance to the stage.

This dvd collection will not work. 2 of the 3 discs the dvd player will not read… disc 2 and 3 to be exact. And disc one played up to Episode 3, and paused on the part where they were in court for Killer Candy. After a certain part the dvd will freeze up. Can’t get any more episodes out of that disc (Disc 1). All in all SAVE YOUR MONEY! This is a scam, product does not work. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Bought as a gift.
