Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Some of the best
Ordinarily, I don't like to watch standup comedy since I don't find most of it all that funny. But, this 2 DVD set represents some of the best of the best all in one place.
Buy it and be laughing for a good long time!
Rating:  - Stand up alone would have been better
As others have pointed out, I too thought this would feature stand up comedy, not 4 comics conversing with each other as the host throws out topics for discussion. Sure, every now and then some funny comments are made but, for the most part, I'd say it's a miss. I'd rather have a comedian doing his/her own 30 minute or hour special where they've prepared stories/jokes/rants or what have you instead of having to ad lib (which at times can work quite well, but here it seems too forced). There are ... Read More
Rating:  - Not your momma's comedians!
This is a nice little compilation featuring the best and brightest who have appeared on Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen. From Dennis Miller to Cedric the Entertainer and more, these comics sit and discuss everything: pop culture, entertainment, even bad dates. The resulting back and forth between Byron and the others is strangely reminiscient of The McLaughlin Group, but it's even funnier. I'd highly recommend this DVD.
Rating:  - A Lot of Setup With No Payoff
I didn't know that this show existed until I saw the DVD. After watching the first few episodes, I thought maybe it never made it to air and went straight to DVD. But it looks like it actually aired on Comedy Central. The guests sit around with Byron Allen and he throws out a topic and they each say a little something. Not a bad premise, but it just doesn't work. There are a ton of breaks for commercials and no one ever really gets going. "Unleashed" really doesn't fit at all. No one knows when to ... Read More
Rating: - Misleading description, and not that funny.
Sure, this DVD features a lot of comedians. However, the DVD description reads as if the comedians are performing. They are not.
This is a talk show hosted by D-list celeb host Byron Alen. It features a panel of comedians delivering obviously pre-written lines about uninteresting topics of discussion.
I would love to have seen clips of standup from the likes of Howie Mandell and the rest - but alas, it's not here. This is just clips of a (I assume) syndicated late night talk ... Read More
