The State is on Hulu but it's expiring soon. My wife never watched it. So we've been plowing through those episodes. I goddamn love that show so much. I keep laughing like an insane idiot. It's been a lot of fun.

I've never "got" The State. However, I absolutely adore Stella.

That line in Season 2 of The State, in the Muppet Dinner Party sketch... "But he's green. Try to catch a blue one, we only have red wine."
