Where the hell is this? Does anybody have it? I've been looking for it everywhere. Did it get delayed or something? What's the story? I was really looking forward to it, it was supposed to come out June 3rd I think. I've checked at Best Buy, Media Play, Borders, and Barnes & Noble with no luck. I really hope to get it soon, I'm a huge Stiller fan and loved the few shows I saw on comedy central.
it was delayed. i remember reading it, but now i cant find when till. hold on, looking....
Two sites I found gave this news:
The Ben Stiller Show 2-DVD set is still unreleased, and no concrete news is to be found anywhere.
Bad news. For reasons I could not find out, the Ben Stiller Show DVD has been "delayed indefinitely."
ive been scooped! oh well.
R.I.P.

I can't wait, though this does call into question how wise it was to waste an entire afternoon, evening, and night on the FX Stiller marathon a few years back...
You'll have a long time to wait... cherish that marathon (I have most of it on tape).
Indefinatly can quite often mean it will never come out. That or it will sit for a year or two then just show up at Target one day until it's sold out and never be printed again.
Well, great...this makes the world a better place I guess...or at least they seem to feel that way. God forbid the ben stiller show ever gets released on dvd, the world will stop revolving! The planets will fucking go out of orbit!
Seriously, this is really stupid and pointless. There's really no reason to delay it...they've already spent the money to make them and produce them, why not just put them on the shelves and make some money? I just don't get it. Anyway, thanks though for giving me the news.
Warner Home Video have finally given the green light for The Ben Stiller Show which had been put on the back burner for a couple of months. This loaded 2-disc set will feature all twelve regular season episodes plus an originally unaired episode. The episodes will be presented in 4:3 with English Stereo Surround tracks. Extra features include commentaries, a featurette, outtakes, deleted scenes, eastereggs and more. The disc will be available to own from the 2nd December this year and should set you back somewhere in the region of $26.99.
Is this worth picking up? I saw it for cheap at a store yesterday.

Hell, yeah. Especially if it's cheap. The "Cape Munster" sketch is almost worth the price in itself.
I'd say the "Manson" sketch makes the purchase totally worth it.
yeah, "the ben stiller show" alone makes the cheap price totally worth it!
