FUNNY!

Robert Townsend started it all with his HBO specials. He launched a lot of hollywood's A-list black actors and commedians from his shows. He is the best! October 31, 2008

MC HAMMER at hi s best with Heavy D?! Duh-this is why the late 80's early 90's was the BOMB! Everybody was broke, but this where it all started. Funny as SH....
Don't play, if you are my age(if you remember these episodes, you my age) and seriously disappointed with the crap wanna be comedy that is on TV today, collect you Robert Townsend and Def Comedy Jam before they disappear. You will crack up all over again and remember where you seen the top comics first! HBO as always been revolutionary, Robert did just that with his Partners in Crime. GET IT! August 20, 2008
