"Hey, do you remember Austin Stories?"
This is a question I seem to ask a lot when speaking to people who are comedy nerds like me. Austin Stories was MTV’s first prime time sitcom, and wasn’t even on a full year (September 1997-June 1998) when it was cancelled. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Stories
Whenever I am reminiscing about shows I enjoyed in my teen years I always bring it up. Sure people remember The State http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_State_%28TV_series%29 and Mr. Show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Show but it always amazes me that no one can recall Austin Stories. Except for my brother, and he used to tape it. And I still to this day talk to him about it as if it is still on the air. I know he is on the phone just rolling his eyes when I talk about it, but at least he humors me and lets me go on about how great and funny of a show it is.
Well my friends, I am happy to inform you all that I have found the episodes on my beloved You Tube. I really had the urge to put up all 12 episodes here, but I knew that would be a little crazy and obsessive. Plus, would any of you actually watch them? They are only 23 minutes long…
No, I will not do it. You all now know they can be found on You Tube. I will however put one episode up, one of my faves. Its episode 5 titled “Cults”

Here is a pretty good fan site for the show, offers episode guides and “Where are they now?” section:http://www.geocities.com/austinstories2002/index.htm
