Apr 20 2009'The State' Finally Coming to DVD for Real
After years of senseless delays, MTV's much-revered cult sketch comedy show The State is finally coming to DVD, friends. TV Shows on DVD is reporting the set will include every episode, the pilot, unaired sketches, commentary, and more.
It's about time. I haven't seen the series in so long I can barely remember the necessary catchphrases to prove my State fanship. I would like to place my testicles upon it?

Did they make the sketches funny? Cause I remember watching a few of the episodes back in the day (about the time Jon Stewart had a talk show on MTV, lol) and they were painfully not funny.
Though, I will say it may have been funnier than "kids in the hall" which is just absolutely horrendous. Though, I do still do the "head squishing" bit with friends, so....

Doug "Oh you mean Uncle Robert?"

(Quote from the series to show that I've watched it before, although it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm witty!)

Lyle and Emmet were the inbred brothers. =)
I started a Yahoo group ten years ago called Save The State! Our day in the sun is finally upon us. Rejoice!

I'll believe this when I pick up my copy at the local Best Buy during my lunch break July 18th. Having said that... "I'TS A BEAUTIFUL DAY/AT THE PORCUPINE RACETRACK/WE'LL WATCH THEM, LITTLE, PORKIES RUUUUUN/PORCUPINES AND RACING, A RECIPE, FOR FUN..."

I like how there's a "related stories" link with the same title as this one dated 07/20/2007.
Is it, in fact, FINALLY coming to DVD? I'll believe it when I see it.

Didn't they do a bit about a guy with Bologna Sandwiches for his feet- he tried out for the soccer team...

I loved The State so when I got a chance to have Michael Patrick Jann direct a TV commercial for us I was happy. Too bad he turned out to be the biggest douchebag ever. It was like he had internalized all the stereotypes about how to be a big Hollywod director and felt like he had to fulfill them. Rather amusing really.
