The September 2008 Show is a 'Best Of' show featuring the best original songs and parodies between 2003 - 2008. This includes songs and intermissions from January 2004, April 2004 (the Chuck E. Cheese Show), September 2004 (also named the Chuck E Cheese Show but with a different logo), January 2005, April 2005, January 2006, January 2007, and the April 2007 shows! It also has a reused intermission from the January & Summer 2008 shows.
Some great segments were included here. “Keep It Groovin’” is a song teaching us no matter what life throws at us, make sure to keep it groovin’ and movin’ (Interesting to note, the video footage for “Keep It Groovin’” was shot at the Texas State Fair back in October 2004). "Opposite Day" with the backwards video footage. "What Up" (that has the same flavor as "CEC Chuck E Cheese") and I'm very glad they are using it in this show. "Chuck E's Place" has a modern remake twist to a classic CEC song, and let me tell you... this remake is probably one of the best redone CEC songs I have ever seen! The voice actors did an awesome job with it, and the music is very upbeat and better than the original. "First Impression" is upbeat - and the video footage is especially fun to watch because the Department 18 guys are dressed up as cowboys (with Jeremy dressed as the Singing Cowboy from Dance Party) on a farm.
There is reused dialogue in this this show also, which is from the segment "Trash Man" from January 2007. Also recycled is dialogue from "First Impression" and "Just Being Me" from the April 2004 show. Everything was recycled from previous shows. After the songs are over, all the curtains immediately close (this is just for the Studio C version if you have real working curtains). In all, I think everything worked out great for this 'Best Of' show.
Studio C (Part 1) - There is no puppet footage for this show. When the dialogue starts it just has the 'Best of' Show logo on the screen.
Studio C (Part 2) - Chuck's curtains open and Chuck tells the kids to go to the blue screen and to interact during the Sky diving spot and when the footage comes on Chuck's curtains close again.
Character Songs - Jasper sings "First Impression" and "Opposite Day" and Munch sings "Go to Chuck E Cheese". No Helen or Pasqually songs have been reused. All the characters have major parts in "Chuck E's Place".
Go To Chuck E Cheese - Jon Bowen's show announcer intro for "Go To Chuck E Cheese" is not reused in this show like it was for the September 2004 show and the April 2002 show.
Originals & Parodies - "Keep it Groovin", "Opposite day", "What up", "First Impression", and "Just Being Me" are all Dept 18 originals. "Trash Man" is a parody of the Beatles' song "Tax Man" and "Go To Chuck E Cheese" is a parody of "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors.
Song Remakes - "Chuck E's Place" is a classic CEC song with a modern remake.
New Intermissions - The new intermissions for this show are as follows: Veggie Tales, CEC Artist Spotlight featuring Sara Hickamn, "Always a Saint", Kung Fu Panda Spot, Shrek the Halls DVD spot, and the Wubzzy Spot. Also Will Frye The Nutrition Guy is back once again with a twist. (Nothing new, except for different music during the Egyptian pyramid part). This episode of Nutrition Corner has been used in several shows in 1998, and once again in Chuck E's Variety Show.
Department 18 Cameos - Jeremy Blaido, Robert Gotcher, and Matt Schartz all appear as cowboys (with huge moustaches) in "First Impression" - Jeremy is dressed as the Singing Cowboy. Matt Schartz makes a quick cameo in "What Up". Robert Gotcher and Jeremy Blaido are the Sing-A-Long Guys. Also Matt Schartz is also the host for this show, and you can see him in his VJ Spots.

Best of CECTV Show Logo - First we see Chuck E playing the guitar and Helen wearing a red shirt and purple pants, then the next clip shows Munch dressed up in a suit and Jasper taking his hat off of his head. Lastly we see Pasqually standing for a quick second towards the end of the logo. You can see a person throughout the show logo with camera lights flashing and finally at the very end it says "Best of CEC" Show with Chuck E stading next to the "C". Pretty Awesome Logo! :)
Birthday Break and Music - This show also contains the new version of "Birthday Star" called "Birthday Star Extravaganza".
-3 out of 5 Tokens-
I think this show was okay but I have to say that they had to many paid for commercials in this show (Kung Fu Ppanda and Shrek the Halls). Well at least once the generic show gets shipped out those spots won't be in the gerneric 'Best Of' show. As far as the segments go, I loved listening to and watching the video footage from 2003-08. Great song choices but I feel Pasqually should have had a song. Oh well there's always the January 09 show and hopefully he'll have a solo for that show! :)
