TV The State Is (Finally) Being Released on DVD!

Posted by Megan Seling on Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 4:00 PM

Michael Ian Black just posted the news on his blog:

Is this exciting? I guess so. Here's my fear about it: people often remember things as being better than they were. The first Thanksgiving, for example. People think, "Oh it was so great." Guess what? There was too much corn, not enough turkey, and a lot of scarlet fever. I'm definitely not saying getting The State DVD is going to cause scarlet fever, but then again, who's to say? I mean, medical science has made a lot of advances over the past three hundred years, but they still have no idea what causes scarlet fever (except for the fact that they do know).

So yeah, the State is coming out on DVD.

All 24 episodes and over 90 minutes of extras will be available July 14th (complete info at the State's page at MTV.com).

Here's the trailer:

Yay! I can finally see the point where Michael Ian Black started doing the same shit that he's been doing for years!

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

@7, that'd be cool. I'm hoping for Daria...

Yeah, whatever, I don't care about "The State". I want seasons 2-6 of "The Larry Sanders Show", dammit.

@7: I hope that day comes soon. I love The Maxx so hard.

While I love both The State and The Maxx, I would do just about fucking anything for the complete DVD set of Liquid Television...

What @13 said.

Yay, I can't wait to steal this on a torrent site! Seriously, they need to put this shit on hulu.

While I do agree that this is fully awesome, it looks like they still can't get the full rights to the music they originally used. For example, the "Pants" sketch really needs The Breeders "Cannonball" as a soundtrack, but MTV lost the song rights so now they use some background track that sounds like a cheap-but-legal knockoff song.

the 'Pants" sketch is one of my all-time favorites! #17, you're telling me they fucked with it?

Ack!
