what happened to this show


i see dave attell and insomiac take trips around the world for insomnic one hour comedy central specials. so what gives to just going to US cities and reruns. i cant recall the last time i saw an episode on comedy central where dave was in the states. so i guess what im asking is did the show get cancelled? or is it on a really really long hiatus? has anyone heard any news about the future of the show? i miss this show and the DVDs only go so far, i need new insomniac. now who is with me

I hear you there roach-1, this show is amazing, one of my favorite shows, I miss being able to see Dave in something new, I would also love for them to put out more Insomniac and actually put out the full seasons, I'm in need of more Insomniac. Who else is wiht us here?

Actually Roach, the show was never cancelled. Dave decided to end the series because it was getting too popular. He couldn't go into a bar with his camera crew and talk to someone without people swarming him. Dave even said in an interview that people began handing him demo tapes like he had connections in the music industry. Anyway, since being a normal guy just hanging out in bars and talking to people was the basis of the show, Dave decided to end it. However, since no one has ever heard of Insomniac outside of the US, he said that he would do Insomniac specials in other countries.

Thats where you're Wrong oodus347, I Live in the UK and I am a Huge Fan of this show, it was on TV Late one night on one of the Channels over here and I was Pi$$ing myself Laughing at it. The only Thing was, it didnt last for Very Long and it was on early in the morning (2am) and I Suppose they Cancelled it over here. So I only Saw a Few Episodes.

About a Year ago I Went to Florida and I Looked in the Virgin Megastore and I Saw The Insomniac DVD there and Bought it Straight away and it was Frikkin Hilarious! and I Recently went to New York with my College and I Bought Volume 2 and Watched it on the Plane home.

Is there anywhere where I Could get a Stand up DVD of Dave Attell? has he even Released one? Because his Stand-up is Amazing.

Dave just released a DVD of his stand up material called "Hey, Your Mouth Isn't Pregnant!" As a matter of fact, I made a topic about it here. Check it out!

reply

It would be cool if they released it on DVD season by season, but I actually have EVERY episode taped, then burnt them all to great quality DVDs so Im in no rush for them releasing them :) I miss the show to, but it was totally understandable why he stopped it. Although I love the Season 5 hour-long specials, they just werent as engrossing as the previous seasons. Still, I just pop in my dvds and Im happy again :)

I miss Dave Attell's show, it was a great combination of Comedy Central and The Travel Channel. I knew it couldn't last forever, he'd eventually run out of cities. Does anyone know how many episodes there were?

do they still air re-runs?

reply

re-runs are airing right this second!

reply

"No Resevations" is completely different than Insomniac. To me, Attell's show is how it is like being a run of the mill guy in run of the mill places. Night is the opposite of day, and this show is a prime example of it.
I hope Dave returns for more.

Must be take a worm for a walk week
