It is difficult to say whether the TV series late at night in 1994 "Strange Television" could really be described as "a sketch of sketch show". It was more like a collar show or an exhibition of the strange. The series's executive producer, Jacques Zirino, collected an hour-long fractions that consisted of comic sketches, yes, but also documentary shorts, imported live-action films and other experimental video projects. It can be described more precisely as a media barrage, an artifact of a phenomenon that "outsiders of the 90s" are sometimes called "preserving culture" or "hacking reality".

Indeed, there was an underground movement in the 1980s and 90s, which tried to break through the US media mix and re-edit it in such a way that, for lack of better term, the truth was revealed to all things. It was a time when archivists had a ball that scattered in the deepest and darkest of pop cultural ambiguities, adding the fabric of the US counterculture in the process.

Residents on the fringe are likely to know about the media barracks of Gurus of Hori. Subgenius' church exhibited its film "Come on!" In 1992, while editors in organizations like everything is terrible and the TV massacre moved to that space in the late 2000s. These days, the absurdity of modern media has become fodder for an amateur video called "YouTube Poop", which can be seen manifested In the phenomenon "Squibidi toilet". "Strange TV" was one of the older brothers and sisters of the phenomenon.

Although a partial media barrage, "weird TV" was also a serious research on how the modern-day-old countercultures looked like. She was just as many brothers and sisters on the music program late at night in the 1980s in the 1980s "Night Flight", such as the cousin of the Church of Subgenius. By the way, repetitions of the short -lived "Strange TV" can now be found at the night flight service service, one of the only streaming services you will ever need to be cool.

So, sociological smear, what was "weird TV"? It was part of the documentary Travelogue, Part Music Show and Part Comedy. It can be called a diversity program. The series was moving on Canadian television in the middle of the night starting in 1991, but did not appear in the United States by 1994. Producer Zirino would serve as a host of the show, filming introductory segments while driving around in his car. The translations would inform the viewer that the host segments were the "comfort zone" on the show. This will be followed by the "News for the Strange" segments, as well as the series "Strange America" ​​in which the directors will detail an element of culture. ("Strange TV" was one of the first plays to report to the man's burning before becoming well known. I seem to remember the Church of Subgenius, but it may interfere with My view of "Come on!")

In addition, DJ and actor Jade Stevens would host a series of scientific thrillers featuring clips of the latest UFO views, which would be pierced with repetitive pieces of comedy (?). "Baby in a bottle", for example, appeared three inches of tall woman in lingerie kept in a bottle by a fake doctor. (The segment was in French.) Also, the segments "Hog Man's Bean Pork" are characterized by an oily friend, who was selling pork and beans, had a repetitive character named after the mutant king (who had the strength to change a girlfriend of caterpillar.

"Strange TV", despite these bizarre and strange shorts, did not come across silly or friendly for children. It was strange in an aggressive way. He felt like a secret handling, something that only the cultists knew after bothering them to stay up to one morning.

Oh, yes, and not to overcome the US "night flight", "weird TV" are also shown music videos. But while the "night flight" featured the coldest punk and a new wave, "weird TV" distorted by the 90's and alternative music made by Monster Magnet's likes and British band Skunk Anansie. The music was surprisingly probable and heard about a show trying to be out of the fringe.

YouTube's own page on TV -Shot The claims "Strange Television" were banned in Philadelphia and Wisconsin to broadcast an animated squirrel with stop-moving, taking a landfill. We may have to take the word to anyone who wrote it. I again encourage readers to subscribe up to the night channel for streaming flight.

In 2003, the series was revived, kind, from a new team of actors in comedy that bought the web -strange web. On the internet, the show is distorted directly in the comedy, completely with more traditional characters and comedy settings for sketches. To the odd one. Unfortunately, the 2003 shorts are not currently on the "weird TV" channel on YouTube, but you can find DVD -A on both repetitions on the Internet.

"Strange TV" aired in the middle of the night at local Los Angeles, Seattle and Columbus, Georgiadorist stations until 1996, before disappearing in the air. It was one of those things that, because of his slot at night, felt like a dream. Some may have even felt that it was, and only those with VCR and quick fingers would be able to gather physical evidence. The "weird TV" felt like he was breaking through a crack, gained sensitivity, dancing on the sidewalk in front of your family, and then escaping the hills.

Thanks to the internet, however, the hills remain close. Maybe someone wants to travel there to visit this creature. SeeEe see a little bit like that.
