I think "Get a Life" with Chris Elliot was amusing. It didn't last long, but guess it's availabe on DVD...

I also used to like "Duckman" with Jason Alexander.

"Nightstand with Dick Dietrick" was funny, but Timothy Stack is probably better known for the less obscure, "Son of the Beach" Baywatch spoof (produced by Howard Stern).

"Action" with Jay Mohr was also sleazy and funny and a little more sophisticated...

I could go way back to the likes of "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster", but who else is old enough to remember?...

Beauty and the Beast...television series, starring Linda Hamilton. Weird show...I was young at the time, maybe I just didn't get it.





Yeah, that was an odd show. I think what did them in was an episode where they were about to make love and then Vincent starting coughing up a hair ball and it ruined the mood. A little over the top.

I remember a LSD inspired kids show called Vegetable Soup. This thing had to have been made by people ripped on all sorts of drugs. I saw a old show a few years back and was amazed at how trippy it was. In the old Kroft Bros. shows there's also tons of drug references.

Isn't that Chinese monkey show on here in Korea almost every day? Is it some sort of campy classic?
