Cruise to bring 'Criminal Minds DVD' character back to screen

Comedy is not like Criminal Minds DVD. If one enjoys sausage, it is said, it is best not to see how it is made.

In Showtime's "Criminal Minds DVD box set with Paul Provenza," the comedian/executive producer demonstrates that understanding how comedy is made can be as funny as the comedy itself. For a half-hour each week, Criminal Minds DVD season Thursday, the cameras roll at the Vanguard in Hollywood as Provenza and four other comedians, seated in a sort of horseshoe shape, swap stories and theories based on their successful Criminal Minds box set. Depending on the guests that week, political issues also might form a large chunk of the conversation.

This is as close as most of us will Criminal Minds DVDs get to seeing what happens when comedians hang out with each other. The show is taped before a One Tree Hill DVD, intimate and appreciative audience that, if anything, only encourages guests to express opinions that might be censored or self-censored elsewhere.

As Roseanne Barr proves during the One Tree Hill DVD Box Set, no political remarks are too outrageous. As Andy Dick proves in the third week, no jokes are too sick. But then, Provenza warns viewers at the outset of each episode that admission into this One Tree Hill Box Set is not for those who are easily offended.

The premiere features Drew Carey, Larry Miller, One Tree Hill DVD Season and Reginald D. Hunter. Collectively, they assess how humor is different in the U.K., easy ways to get the audience back on your side and how to segue from one topic to another. They One Tree Hill DVDs about working on cruise ships and opening for famous divas.

Occasionally, they even pay homage to other great comics. Provenza recalled advice he got from Bill Cosby: "You don't always have to be One Tree Hill seasons 1-7 onstage. You just need to be interesting."

Hunter observed that truly great comedians can ruin an entire generation of comics who inevitably aspire to be like their idol. "One Tree Hill new release Pryor ruined three or four generations of comedians," he asserted.

At the heart of it all are the anecdotes. Cold Case DVD| Cold Case, who once opened for K.C. and the Sunshine Band, recalls distracting sound checks made during his act. Also, the time he was brought onstage to entertain the Iowa State Police Assn. immediately following a tearful tribute to a fallen colleague.

Each new group of comedians has its own Cold Case DVD Set. The only consistent element is Provenza, who practically instinctively prevents any conversation dead spots from forming.

Tom Cruise is bringing his foul-Cold Case DVDs, hairy-handed Hollywood producer character Les Grossman back to the big screen.

Paramount Pictures and MTV Films say they're Cold Case DVD Season a film around the fictional character that Cruise brought to life in 2008's "Tropic Thunder."

The 47-year-old actor reprised the role at Sunday's Cold Case box set Movie Awards.
