What happened to the original upload of the Restoration Project for the State?
I was able to download S1 w/o issues but S2 didn’t have 100% availability at any point.
I don’t even know if S3/4 ever got Restored.
Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I saw it on the list for this show.
I was working on a project restoring the edits that were made for the DVD (there are music edits in every episode but one, and there are four examples of cut or alternate footage, in addition to censored shots).
Most of them I was able to get good sources for, but I’m looking for copies of the following:
- original broadcast of the premiere episode (the appropriate air date would apparently be 12/17/93); there’s a sketch about beer which was cut out after the early airings because of complaints. The sketch is on the DVD, but with music changes.
- episode 206 - of all the copies I obtained, the broadcast version of this was in the worst shape, so I would love a better source than the one I have.
- episode 312 - the end credits have a long conversation between Marino and Wain, which was re-recorded for the DVD with different music. The only source I have for this has an MTV announcer over part of the credits. This is a longshot, but maybe somebody has a copy without the announcer, or at least covering a different part.
103, 104, and 305 also have specific sketches which I’m not entirely satisfied with my source.
I know it’s been a while, but I wanted to see if you have any more luck with this project?
Bump from me as well. Desperate for versions with the right music—willing to do some work myself.
To all: Please GRAB this while you can. I just added the entire series as originally aired.

You’re doing god’s work. The god that lives in the lake.
