Okay- I guess a non-amercian has to write something about this absolutely funny show. Back when MTV were still decent, The State played here (MTV Europe) Sunday nights along side The Maxx and Aeon Flux and I watched it religously. It was at a time when there was a renaissance of sorts in American comedy. Emo Phillips and Sam Kinnison were doing the rounds and all of a sudden american comedy was edgy and FUNNY!!!
I never thought that america could produce something as sublime as The State; I was reminded of TW3, The Goon Show and Python. However we only got the first season (and a couple of episodes from the second) so I'm really buzzed to hear that a DVD featuring all the sketches is on the board- I look forward to seeing some of the sketches I've only read about here.
Favorite skit- well there are so many- Louie, Doug, Mime Plane Disaster, International Signs but I think I have to go with Muppet Meat.
All in all The State was Brilliant- we need these people back together again and producing more shows.
