Any chance of a TV Funhouse dvd (CC, not SNL)?

I've been recording the reruns they've recently been showing again on Comedy Central and I love this show. I think it was only for one season. For anyone that hasn't seen it, its basically a take off of a kids show, like Captain Kangaroo, but with all these depraved animals. Robert Smigel, creator of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, was the creator and, like Triumph, all the dogs have slavic accents. Any info would be appreciated.

I wish.

This show burned briefly, but very brightly. The trip to see Triumph in Atlantic City alone would be worth the price of the set.

Maybe there are some unaired episodes that would make for great extras on a set. Or a Triumph commentary.

I hope so. I just caught the last 3 episodes. I didn't even know they were re-running them until too late. Eight episodes cult fave seems a natural for DVD.

Damn, I would have loved to tape those. I have like 4 on a DVD-r but the quality is crap.

Hoping for an official release.

Please keep us notified if Comedy Central schedules these to show again.

I love this show but am in no hurry to see it on DVD - it's one of those shows I've seen so many times that I can just close my eyes and remember every second of it!

My favorite was the Fetal Scooby Doo cartoon - great stuff.

I finally transferred my copies to DVDr. Great stuff, but it will probably be a long time (ever?) for them to come to DVD.

I'm watching a rerun of this right now (the Tijuana episode) and forgot how much I loved this show. So offensive, yet so funny. Any news on a DVD release, by any chance?

Finally! It's coming out on December 18th.

I sure hope it's the whole series and not a compilation.

(Several times I've been tempted to buy unofficial copies of this show off of ebay, thinking it would never get released; glad I held out.)

If this upcoming DVD is a complete series and not a compliation, and I'm sure it will be, it will be a must buy. I never saw much of the series but loved what I did catch.

the entire 8 episodes could easily fit on one DVD, CC would just be screwing everyone if they didn't release the whole series

Was that the one with Robert Goulet and the vomiting turtle?

yup, it was the Goulet one.

I liked the different beginnings where people would be looking at the host strangely because he was doing stop motion amidst foot traffic and stuff.

Now if there was a release for I'm With Busey, I'd be all set!

I love Mexico!

As soon as this is out, I can dump these off my Tivo.

It wouldn't be the first time a company screwed fans. I'd hope they do two discs though. They could fit it all on one disc, but I'd rather see two discs of four episodes. That would leave room for a few features and, if we really get lucky, commentary on at least a few episodes.

Really though, who am I kidding? I'll buy this no matter how they do it, provided it's the complete episodes.

8 22-minute episodes is only 176 minutes, plenty of time for at the least a couple commentary tracks and still one disc-- though based on how long it took for this to come out, I would expect nothing except "South Park shorties" to be included in the bonus department.

I was certain this show would never make it to DVD - so certain, in fact, that I was experiencing the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - or:

Drink
Alcohol
Before
Doing
Anal

Aaaaaaaaaand it's been pushed back to July 22. I don't think this DVD will ever come out.
