This isn’t some bullshit, “I am a scientologist, so I have to buy Scientology junk” post. As an owner of Season 1, way before I started training at their training center, I will definitely buy this set. Season 1 was okay, but the commentary is like taking a $325 class with Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh. The commentary on season 1 is brilliant, but unlike the first DVD, the UCB4 put commentary on every episode including a question and answer at the Los Angeles Theater. This is huge for anyone who wants to understand the inner workings of 4 of the most talented comedians working today.

Added into the press release is the announcement that Upright Citizen’s Brigade will be launching their third stage which will be a comedy video website, www.UCBcomedy.com featuring performers from the theaters. I’ve known about these plans for a while and it’s good to see the UCB pushing it forward into a reality.

(I am not a Scientologist) (Good luck Neil.)

Got Season 2 today in the mail from Amazon. I’ll be sure to review the discs on the site once I’ve watched the whole thing and drooled over the commentary. I’m converting the whole set into video files to watch on my iPhone, because I’m not home very often… plus, it’s pretty sweet to watch UCB on my evening commute.
