I've been watching the State a lot lately. Last month at the New Media Expo I won a $15 iTunes gift card from the kind folks at Technorama and used it to buy the five episodes of The State that are available for purchase.

Oh sure, people complain that they don't have the original music. The thing is, the funny's still there. Plus there's this gem I had totally forgotten about: Forever. Everything about it is fantastic (if you're wondering about David Wain getting taken out, well, it's a running gag through the whole episode), and pay special attention to Ken Marino's closeup; this is the funniest part of the whole thing. Forget Barry and Levon, Doug, and Louie. This is it.
