Fans of twisted, subversive comedy take note: The first season of MTV2's often brilliant "kids" show, Wonder Showzen (which I first gushed about here), is set to be released on DVD March 28th according to this and this. I'm psyched, are you? (You sicko creep.)
And if that weren't already enough, there's even better news. According to an interview with (H.) Jon Benjamin on the January 7th episode of the Sound of Young America, Dr. Katz is finally coming to DVD! Benjamin discusses doing the commentary for the Season 1 DVD in the interview, as well as his thoughts on Squigglevision (the style of animation used on Dr. Katz and on the 1st season of Home Movies, another show which features his voice), hosting the ongoing comedy thing Tinkle with David Cross and Todd Barry, and why he doesn't do traditional stand-up. You can hear the unedited Jon Benjamin interview here.
Anyway, this is awesome news for fans of Dr. Katz who have been petitioning for a DVD release for quite a while. My "temporary" copies of the series (previously discussed here), while good for quick fix, obviously can't compete with high quality editions with commentary and all that. I can't wait. [No release date has been set so far, and sites like Amazon aren't yet listing it.]

Hey Jeff, what's up? Long time no speak. What are you doing out there? A full report is expected!
that's so sweet on the Katz DVD. That'll teach me to actually listen to all those Sound of Young America Podcasts that are sitting gathering dust on my iTunes.
Yeah, I subscribed only recently. The comedy-related shows are great. Did hear the one with the guy from Wholphin?
Hey! That's me! I'm The Sound of Young America! Thanks for subscribing, now get to listenin'!
