As we’ve noted here before, a set of DVDs of The Dana Carvey Show is scheduled for release this Spring. Now, from Home Media Magazine, here’s a bit more news:
Shout! Factory Slates ‘Designing Women,’ ‘Dana Carvey’
By John Latchem | Posted: 17 Mar 2009
jlatchem@questex.comShout! Factory is expanding its comedy slate in May with DVDs for The Dana Carvey Show and Designing Women: The Complete First Season.
The Dana Carvey Show streets May 12 (prebook April 14) as a two-DVD set at $24.99. The sketch-comedy show, starring the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, debuted in 1996 and ran for seven episodes on ABC. The DVD set includes an unaired eighth episode.
The cast included Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert and Robert Smigel, and the show introduced some of the concepts later utilized on the “SNL” “Saturday TV Funhouse” sketches, such as “The Ambiguously Gay Duo.”

Okay, I just may have to buy this now. It includes the unaired eighth episode?? Stephen described a skit from that at the first taping I attended, and it had me laughing hysterically. (Stephen in a Eurotrash band with a Flock o’ Seagulls hairdo? What part of that isn’t hilarious?) Geez, and just when I had been thinking about being more responsible about what I spent money on …
MsI, I’m sure the DVD will be worth every penny. Stephen + Flock of Seagulls haircut = priceless. Just thinking about that makes me giggle. You can save money in other ways.

I have the eighth episode – got all 8 shows on iTunes last summer – but there’s no Eurotrash band sketch in it. Maybe they are including cut sketches as well.
