ORIGINAL STORY – Back in the days when MTV still didn’t play music but produced comedy television shows there was Austin Stories. Turns out, our very own Matt Bearden was a regular cast member of the hit tv show that was shot in Austin, starring people from Austin and about Austin! Can you spot him in the show?
From wiki:
Austin Stories is an American sitcom that aired on MTV from September 10, 1997 until January 7, 1998. It aired Wednesday nights at 10:30 pm. The show aired twelve episodes filmed on location in Austin, Texas.
Originally, the show was only guaranteed 13 episodes on the channel. In March 1997, MTV flew House, Kremer and Pope to Los Angeles to write two scripts in three days. Austin Stories was green-lighted on March 20, 1997, and they often spent 16-hour days working on the show with taping wrapping in November.
Their contract expired on May 8, 1998, and MTV extended it for three more weeks before permanently canceling the show on June 1, 1998.
