Chappelle's Show now on iTunes

Season 1 of Chappelle's Show is now for sale on iTunes. That season was the biggest-selling television DVD of all time, out-selling even The Simpsons and Family Guy.

Unfortunately, iTunes only offers the individual episodes and not the gag reel or the extra 'Ask a Black Dude' featurette that come on the DVD (not that it's a surprise). It should also be noted that the episodes are labeled 'Explicit' because they are all uncensored, bitch!

Individual episodes are $1.99 a piece and $21.99 for all 12 episodes.
