Just got email notification that The State, the early 90’s sketch comedy troupe, will at last have their episodes released on DVD. And I almost bought a bootleg VHS on ebay… Most recently these guys made the wonderful Wet Hot American Summer movie. Any other fans out there? BTW, no release date as of yet. ---

“Call me old fashioned, but I still believe that there’s only one true god, and his name is Torzog, and he lives in this lake.” “The only thing we do that is illegal, and I’m not even sure it is, is sell babies on the black market.” Thanks for the heads up! I’ve been hoping for years that they’d release the series. My bootleg copy isn’t of good quality 😃 ---
