the state

I'm not sure why, but somehow I found myself thinking about the late great MTV sketch comedy show from the 90's, The State. It is sad and strange how The State just disappeared from the earth one day after a short, but brilliantly funny run. I see many of the cast members still have successful careers, starring on shows like Ed and Reno 911, but that only serves as a sad reminder that the troupe is no more.

I did a little searching and was happy to discover that they are planning on releasing an official DVD at some point in the near future. Even better, there is a complete online video archive that has every last sketch they ever made available for download!
