"I
don't watch much TV." Maybe you just don't know what's on that's
worth watching! That's why the PopCulture Shack has separated the
wheat from the chaff and revealed sites that are shrines to truly
original TV. (None of that awful "Touched By an Angel" stuff,
either.) So, quit wasting your time watching sappy dreck, and change
the channel to something better! |

|
Blind
Date - It's a festival of misery as two (almost always)
horribly mismatched people suffer through a taped blind
date from Hell. Losers, easy women, "players," bitter
singles, and drop-dead dull freaks unite for a true horror
show that makes you wonder why you didn't give up on dating
long ago. Reruns air on the Spike channel and on
local stations. |
|
Brini
Maxwell - I'm not exactly the froufrou type into decorating
and "being domestic," but even I can't resist
this send-up of Martha Stewart. Brini (a guy in a dress)
provides cooking, fashion, and craft tips in her retro
'60s style plus advice on dealing with those sticky personal
situations. Watch archived episodes from the two seasons
of shows that appeared on the Style! Network,
plus find tips for kitsch decorating and fun cooking. |
|
Cheaters -
Ever suspected that your boyfriend or wife is unfaithful
to you? This syndicated TV show tapes those cheaters in the
act along with the catfight that erupts when the evidence
appears. Meow! New episodes air on local stations. |
|
Designing
Women Tribute - Catch episode summaries, guides to
the characters, wacky quotes and more from a site dedicated
to America's wittiest sitcom. Reruns air on Lifetime
TV. |
|
Green
Acres - Join lawyer Oliver Douglas and socialite wife
Lisa as they are mysteriously transported into rural Hooterville
and meet up with huckster Mr. Haney, popular pig Arnold
Ziffel, and more! Reruns air on local stations. |
|
Jerry
Springer - Wonderfully trashy, but true! Revel at plots
like, "I'm Pregnant & Cheating!", "I
Cut off My Manhood!", and "I Married a Horse!" Hey—this
ain't the '50s anymore. New episodes air on local stations. |
|
Just
Shoot Me! - I just love this show. Sarcastic
wit David Spade joins the fashion-conscious and cheeky
Wendie Malick and fave George Segal in this send-up of
a fashion magazine. Reruns air on local stations. |
|
Mama's
Family - Chill with craft-making Iola, hunky grandson
Bubba, dippy wife Naomi, and dopey Vint as they struggle
through life with Mama Harper. Sometime-appearances by
Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Carol Burnett. Reruns
air on TBS. |
|
The
People's Court and People's
Court Raw - The first link deals with what is, beyond
a doubt, the best court show on television. Judge Marilyn
Milian is witty, sharp, fun, and she follows the law (unlike
a certain other TV judge whose name begins with "Judy").
Find out details about the show, biographies of the regulars
on it, and info about upcoming episodes! And, the new People's
Court Raw lets you submit cases you want decided in the
court of public opinion, and vote on who should win. |

Reno
911! - There's nothing quite like watching police chasing
a nekkid, drunk old man through the streets as he moons
the neighborhood—now, that's entertainment! So, if
you love COPS, you'll be positively giddy over this
wacked-out TV parody showing weekly in reruns on Comedy
Central. |
|
South
Park - Join four twisted kids on a cartoon journey
through the bizarre world of South Park, Colorado, which
includes the buttal journeys of a gerbil, Christmas in
Iraq, evil J. Lo, veal horrors, and that annoying Jared
guy from the Subway commercials. New episodes air on Comedy
Central. |
