keither Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Oh Man! I love introducing people to a new source of comedy! The BEST comedy show ever BY FAR is "SEALAB 2021!!!" Go to Kazaa Lite and download the episode called "Stimutacs"... you'll see what I mean!!! Unbelievably HILARIOUS show!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Doneedun had one helluva laugh! Read all about it I think if I watched an episode of that, I'd have a 'nostalgic breakdown'. One of the main actors in that show was a write for the Family Guy...that's cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Just to reinforce something that Esau said...Hilarious house of Frightenstein deserves monumental cult status.It was so f'ing wierd, and I remember it was on at like 6:30 in the morning. Of course you're awake and watching cartoons at that time when you're a kid. The big fat green guy, the frankenstein in the background who was always looking at you, and the Wolfman, who used to play a classic 60's or 70's song and dance in front of a psychedelic background...acid anyone?

bradm Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 One of the favourites of my youth, which I count as cult even though it was very popular during its original run in the '50s was Maverick. The original season(s) with James Garner were the best, then Jack Kelly; the final ones with Roger Moore (as cousing Beau Maverick from England, IIRC) were semi-OK. I actually have a copy of "Poker According To Maverick" at home, a hand-me-down from my Dad*, who actually reminds me a lot of Garner. Aloha, Brad * In the current context, that should probably be "My Pappy"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuleMomma Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Don McKellar's "Twitch City" (only 6 amazing episodes, based in Kensington Market, about a guy who's a TV junkie and never gets out of his robe or leaves the apartment, but rents out every room and closet in his place to a revolving circle of freaks) "SOAP" (perhaps too popular, but I sure wish someone would run it again) "Black Adder" (same as above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermontdave Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 'Police Squad' with Leslie Nielson. It was only on for one or two seasons in the mid-eighties and was some of the funniest T.V. ever. 'Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman'. Sure it was a ratings grabber, but most people who watched it didn't realize it was a really dark comedy. good topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Where the hell is Rocket Robin Hood and Hammy Hampster? Nothing like Rodents in a diving bell!
