I have been looking for 'Fernwood 2-Nite' episodes for YEARS. I only vaguely remembered this from my childhood days, glued to Nick-at-Nite. At the time, I hated it; I didn't really understand it and the 70's look really irritated me. But I watched it a ton cause it was on TV and I watched TV religiously then.
I finally sourced the first season (minus one episode that was never re-run so it may never surface) and watched the first episode last night. It's not the Holy Grail of comedy, but it's pretty awesome. Mull and Willard are totally great, Dabney Coleman makes a cameo appearance, and the show never steps beyond the reality of it's supposed small-town budget. Happy Kine and the Mirthmakers deliver a rocking soundtrack too. It's gonna be fun watching the rest of these. I care less about the second season, 'America 2-Nite', but if it turns up I'll surely check it out as well...
DVD images are on Myspleen; if that's too big for you I'll rip them to DivX once I get them all.
