These originally aired as part of Liquid Television and did not include music videos.
Season 1 (1993)
Mike Judge himself is highly critical of the animation and quality of these episodes, in particular the first two—"Door to Door" and "Give Blood/Blood Drive"—which he described as "Horrible. Those first two episodes were awful, I don't know why anybody liked it... I was burying my head in the sand."[1]
