Been waiting to see this show- originally I only saw bits and pieces and it seemed hilarious.

I got that too. I'm so excited. The State was one of the funniest MTV shows. Now if only they'd release Liquid Television.

3. The State wraps up on MTV and flops on CBS

After delivering sketch comedy to MTV viewers over the course of a year and a half, the 11 cast members of The State—Kevin Allison, Michael Ian Black, Robert Ben Garant, Todd Holoubek, Michael Patrick Jann, Kerri Kenney, Thomas Lennon, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Michael Showalter, and David Wain—found themselves tempted by the bright lights of the broadcast networks. First, ABC toyed with the idea of pitting them against Saturday Night Live, but the deal never materialized. CBS soon offered them the TV equivalent of the rent-to-own option, offering them a few specials and promising the possibility of a series if the specials went well. In fact, there was only one special: The State’s 43rd Annual All-Star Halloween Special, featuring musical guest Sonic Youth. In the words of David Wain, “The reviews were great, but there was no promotion nor ratings, and CBS decided not to renew us. So ended The State on TV.” While the collective’s demise was disappointing at the time, it’s hard to complain about the comedy that ultimately emerged as a result of its members going their separate ways.
