Rotten Tomatoes
85% on Rotten Tomatoes, pioneering weird comedy.
The State was simply one of the sharpest, funniest, and most under-rated shows of the 1990's. Originally created as MTV's first foray into the sketch comedy genre, The State was a comedic gem that rocked Generation X with slapstick, smarts and witty sarcasm. The dynamic cast features 11 multi-talented actors that have continued to collaborate on such projects as RENO 911!, STELLA, VIVA VARIETY and WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER.
