This is the last week to watch the show with zefrank as it happens, which is the best way to watch it. Ze has been pulling out all the stops these past couple of weeks with a string of very good shows, and if you've been missing them, at least try to catch up with the recent ones.

Ze has indicated that there will be some kind of on-going archive. Ze also asked his regulars to help make a list of the best 50 episodes, and the wikified list continues to evolve. It's already a great place to find good stuff, if you're not a regular. No clue yet whether the favorites will be the only ones archived (unlikely), whether the list will exist alongside the complete archive for passersby to peruse (probably), or whether the list will eventually become a purchasable DVD (hopefully).

The favorites list has also become a home for indexing into some favorite motifs, like the list of every episode where Ze sings, or every episode filmed in a hotel.

I admit I'm secretly hoping for a complete DVD box set, but it seems unlikely. I'd pay $200+ for a box set that also included excerpts from Ze's stage show and a black-on-black duckie T-shirt.

Lastly: If you have limited interest in Ze's Show or didn't like him the one time you saw him last year, at least check out this recent special, where Ze makes good on a promise to his viewers, with the help of Jonathan Coulton. (That'd be Mr. Jonathan Doesn't Give More Than 24 Hours Notice On His Web Site When He Plays Seattle Coulton. :P )
