The Remote Island

Yessssss. "The State" DVD is Coming!

Posted by Lindy Parker

 

At last, the long-awaited DVD release of MTV's The State is within our reach and we can finally stop depending on crappy, two minute youtube clips to fill the State-shaped hole in our hearts....

Joe Lo Truglio says it's happening July 14: "Now…there’s a slight chance this exact date may change, but it will be released in the summer.  MTV is hoping to set up a State DVD Website in the next couple months with more info, and possible pre-order sales." (Comedy Central Insider)

From Joe Lo Truglio's mouth to God's ears.  We're breaking out the bubbly as we type.  While we're all raising our glasses and toasting the past, let's take a look toward the future.  Here's an idea: Wet Hot American Summer: The TV Show.  No really, it could be awesome.  For one thing, it's about time that David Hyde Pierce and Paul Rudd returned to television.  Second, it shouldn't be hard to lure Janeane Garofalo away from her snooze-inducing gig on 24.  Third, we like to work an original Mighty Ducks cast member into our programming whenever we can.  Fourth, what's Michael Ian Black doing that's so important he can't spare the time?  And finally, nothing that Chris Meloni has ever done on Law and Order: SVU even slightly compares to his comic genius on Wet Hot American Summer...

About Lindy Parker

Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She now writes for nerve.com's TV blog, "The Remote Island." She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should.

    Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.
