Comments: Shorts, 6/30.

I do hope, now that it's been demonstrated that there's money in dusting off your television show backlog & putting out entire seasons on DVD-- finally, the Ben Stiller Show is to be available for purchase!-- that MTV will finally wake up and stop sitting on some of its properties, The State first and foremost.

If the world wanted to be really nice to me, I would not say no to the opportunity to pick up Austin Stories in a box set either.

Well, there's some good news at least to be found in the comments at ianwhitney.com: a DVD compilation of The State series is evidently on the way!

I knew there was a reason I got up this morning, and it was to hear that news.

Also, to go to work, but mostly to hear that news. Thanks!

Was the State the series that contributed some cast members to that hilarious camp movie send up Wet Hot American Summer? Or was it Upright Citizens Brigdae? I always got the two of them mixed up...

I would really love to buy the Austin Stories series that MTV aired in 1997. I loved the show but can't find it anywhere. If you know where I could buy it please let me know.
Thanks

I loved Austin Stories too!!!! I still have a couple of episodes that I taped off tv, but I would love to have the whole set on DVD. That was such a cool show.
