Chris Rock narrates this sharp, affectionate sitcom inspired by his childhood. Join 13-year-old Chris (Tyler James Williams) as he undertakes the hassle of being bused from Brooklyn to a predominantly white junior high, and struggles to please his strict parents and overcome the angst of early adolescence. With Terry Crews, Tichina Arnold, Tequan Rich.88 episodes on 16 discs. 30 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Review: Run like your life depends on it and GET THESE DVD'S - I LOOOOVE EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS! I was an avid viewer during the first season and I would tune in every week to catch the latest episode. I recently started to watch again, so you can imagine how I feel knowing that the show recently underwent cancellation. To take something so PERFECT off of television fills me with sadness and frustration! So let me put my emotions aside for a bit to explain one of the greatest shows to ever hit the airwaves! The show revolves around the everyday life of Chris, who is a 12-year-old seventh grade student in the series' first episode. Chris is surrounded by a collection of interesting characters that, in his point of view, act as though they dislike him. Chris lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, a low-income community and attends an all-white school, where students and teachers alike pick on him. If things go well for Chris throughout an episode, then, 9 times out of ten, the situation will backfire on him by the end. On the same token, If a situation isn't going Chris' way, it always manages to get even worse for him, whether or not he tries to change the course of events. Chris Rock (a true genius and one of my all-time favorite Comedians) narrates the show and takes us through the ups and downs of his years living in Bed-Stuy during the early-mid 1980's. Tyler James Williams, who plays young Chris Rock, never fails to make you laugh with his professional sense of humor and jokes. Chris has major wit and charm! You find yourself sympathetic towards his character, with high hopes for a happy ending. Mr. Rocks' narration ALONE will have you ROTFL, and the actors hit you with just the same! Julius (Terry Crews) is the perfect example of a good Father! He holds down his household and always shows love and affection; this man adooores his family! Rochelle (Tichina Arnold), in my eyes, is a Legend! This smart, intelligent woman won me over the very first time I witnessed her talent back in the mid-'90s, on the sitcom, "Martin"; she's back and BETTER THAN EVER! Tichina will, without a doubt, make your entire face ache and your cheeks tense up with laughter! Drew (Tequan Richmond) and Tanya (Imani Hakim) are so adorable. They always argue, but they also like working together, especially when it comes to getting what they want from their parents. Chris' best friend Greg (Vincent Martella) will make you laugh as well, for he shows that he can stand beside his fellow actors and rise to the occasion of pure comedy. One thing that stands out, probably the most, in the show is the array of '80s music used in the beginning of almost every episode. Artists such as Run DMC, Janet Jackson, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Howard Jones, LL Cool J, Culture Club, Madonna, Duran Duran and Kool Moe Dee lend their '80s hits to the show, as well as many other '80s musicians—the list goes on! WARNING: I will say this much, there are MANY episodes in this box set that have alternate music per episode (particularly Season 1). The original music soundtrack has suffered the "cut/uncut" treatment by Paramount (The Kings & Queens of destroying authentic movies and television shows, converting most episodes to edit format). Certain episodes have alternate music to support its intro. My guess is that Paramount was too lazy and cheap to conjure up a deal with the artists/companies who own the rights to the music. Oh, but don't worry though. If you want to watch the episodes in their full-original-music-soundtrack-glory, you will have to catch them as they air on BET or Nick @ Nite. Personally, embarking on a full-fledge television search for the original episode/soundtrack, when owning the box set should be more than enough, is ridiculous! I guess, in this instance, it's better to have alternate music on certain episodes rather than nothing at all. On a lighter note, EHC is blessed with a reunion of seasoned vet actors and comedians, all whom play permanent roles throughout the entire series. Talented professionals such as: Jackée Harry, Wayne Brady, Whoopi Goldberg, Antonio Fargas, Tisha Cambell-Martin, Ricky Harris, Ernest Thomas, Robin Givens and Mike Estime all shine, as well as a few new faces from the modern era of film/television. Each season has a plethora of extras: Commentary on certain episodes, Webisodes on almost every episode, and deleted scenes, which are so funny, you can't help but wonder why they weren't left in the original episode. It's very hard for me to even sit and watch the last season on disc because you just know that it's the end; it's final! And let's face it, there are not a lot of outstanding African American television shows out there nowadays that tend to make it past 4 or 5 seasons due to fans tuning in for a short period of time (during the beginning), then suddenly tuning out, which sends ratings in decline. I feel that we, the viewers, should make it our duty to keep our favorite shows on the air and support them, especially the shows that are quintessential to their nature. Otherwise, cancellations will continue to plague all genuine African American comedies, dramas and sitcoms. So this is my plea to all, like myself, who love and enjoy outstanding African American comedies, such as: Everybody Hates Chris, Tyler Perry's House of Payne, The Game, we must take the necessary steps needed to keep our shows where they belong—on television! I enjoy watching every episode, and I equally enjoy my occasional EHC marathons. But when the last season rolls around, what was once fun, enjoyable entertainment, slowly becomes a recollect of sad memories; memories of great, talented work, all of which leads up to the very last episode of the series. There is an empty space etched in your heart for everyone involved with the show. You are then left wondering what could have been for the members of the Rock family. EHC is now off the air and will not return anytime soon! I had hopes that BET would pick it up, but I don't know of any new news stating that this will happen. In a post I came across a few days after hearing about the cancellation, it read that Chris Rock announced the end of season 4 matched up with his own past—dropping out of high school to become a comedian, and that, basically, it was time to end the show. Again, they are the actors/entertainers, and we are the fans/viewing public. They do their part, now it's important to accomplish ours. So I reiterate: we must save our genuine black comedies! These DVD's are in deed a must-have for your sitcom collection! Review: T.V. with laughs and lessons! what T.V. should be! - Chris Rock has such great talent and we are so glad that we are able to view his talent and be entertained with clean T.V. shows. We also own I think I love my wife DVD which Chris Rock made. Both are great! We own the whole season for Everybody Hates Chris and we love it! We want our children to see what real T.V. and good T.V. shows really are and because we love this T.V. series, its clean fun and funny! Great for family laughs! We cut the cord on cable and now view TV though our DVD collection or watch though Netflix on our Roku. We just grew tired of paying for paid TV with nothing good to watch. We could not find this show on Netflix and decided to purchase this set as it was more affordable to purchase the set. Which is okay for us as we like to take our DVD's with us while on the road as it makes for some fun times. This has also come in handy when we are out and have to wait for long periods of time.. This happen recently and Everybody Hates Chris Show saved the day! We started season one and before we knew it, it was time to go on to our next destination. So back to the reason we went ahead and purchased this collection. Due to the garbage on T.V. these days, looks like many people are looking for great T.V. shows and are turning to shows like this again. Many people are tired of paying for trash T.V. so they have found other ways to view T.V. the way they want to. Looks like this is the growing attitudes with paid for TV these days.. And I know many like this show so it is in demand! Anyway, our family loves this show and glad that we were still able to find this show for a decent price.. We don't want to spend too much money out of our budget. We are just glad to be able to watch T.V. the way we want to and not have to pay for crap TV. We are tired of today's T.V. shows.. It's really sad that such a good method of influence has turned into trash T.V with the exception of National Geo etc.. Any way, if you want clean T.V. this is it! I can say since we cut cable off we have a better free life.. seems like we have more family time and time to do the things that we want to do. Plus we pay for the shows that we want like The Cosby show since it is not on Netflix. I am glad that this T.V. series is available on desertcart. This T.V. Series teaches a lot of great lessons and also entertains you.. Miss those days of shows like this. So if you are looking for clean great family fun, this show is for you.. You will not be disappointed. Our children love this show! Happy viewing! And if you are looking for more funny shows, don't for get The PJ's with Eddie Murphy, Martin, My wife and Kids, Jamie Foxx, and What's happening! Great shows, real T.V. Shipping was as expected and we are in the process of viewing all the DVD's so we can see how they play! thanks.

Great sitcom box set
I have owned this title for a few year and it has stand the test of time. The dvd's still play great no audio or visual issues. The dvd's have a lot of extras that are great like behind the scenes view as well as some episodes had commentary through out and they have web episodes. The art box it nice and the case has not broken down after years of use. I recommend this boxset for your collection if you are a fan of great family comedy.

Great Show....Worth every penny!
I purchased the complete series as a birthday present for my boyfriend. While he received other presents, this was by far his favorite gift! I secretly spent the hefty $$$$, for the series, because I knew I would enjoy his present as much as he would. Now, why I think this show is great and a must see for all families..... everybody hates Chris is about a real middle class family that loves each other and deals with everyday issues. While some of the issues may seem culturally specific (Black experience), all cultures can relate to the underlining message. Besides, it is time that all shows are appreciated for the entertainment and message and not the cultural specificity of a small number of segments. The show is down right funny!!!! This is a show that you can watch with your children , girlfriends, or boyfriend and never feel that it is irrelevant. I did not watch while it was on the air, but now believe that Chris Rock should have been given praise for creating a truly enjoyable family show.

I've been looking everywhere to buy and watch this as an Australian. Dont make my mistake, this set is region 1 locked so unable to play on any consoles or dvd players I have. I've looked at description and details but haven't seen it stated anywhere Waited weeks to recieve it only to be daunted by 'region restrictions' on every console I've tried to watch it on. Hoping to find a set that is region 4 or 0!! Disappointed I have to return it now :(
