THE STATE ON DVD(FINALLY)
At their San Diego Comic-Con panel and in an interview with ComingSoon.net for their upcoming Rogue Pictures comedy Balls of Fury, actors/writers Thomas Lennon and Ben Garrant, best known for their Comedy Central show "Reno 911," revealed that the long-awaited DVD collection of their sketch-comedy show "The State" would finally be released in some form later this year. "The State," which starred Lennon and Garrant's previous comedy troupe of the same name, aired on MTV from 1993 to 1995, but never has been re-released in any form.
"'The State' at long last actually is coming out either on DVD or iTunes," Lennon told us.
"They just rescored and we're all doing ADR," Garrant continued.
"The thing that was preventing it was the music clearances," Lennon explained, "because at the time, MTV had a deal that anything with a video you could just use. No longer the deal."
"All our sketches that were built around a Breeders or a Lenny Kravitz song, which was a lot of them," said Garrant, "so we had to rescore everything, but finally, MTV put up the money to rescore it, and I guess it's coming out."
"It's coming out sometime this year, I bet," Lennon concluded.
