Thread: Cult tv shows anyone?

  1. #1

    Default Cult tv shows anyone?

    Lots of people here have quirky taste so I just wondered if anyone else enjoys any cult tv shows? Any reccomendations?
    My personal fave by far and away is Twin Peaks which i love to bits!

    Twin Peaks mos def (just check out my "ACTS" page over at cyberden (dot) com to hear my special message from the Log Lady) but if you're wanting a similar vibe, look for Lars Von Trier's Kingdom Hospital aka The Kingdom (parts 1 and 2). He admits to being influenced by TP and it shows.

    Being cult however, I will skip anything modern or past TP and jump straight into it... THE WALLY GEORGE SHOW! lol

    Animated..Aeon Flux Totally hot bod drawn out there, and made it even better for Charlize Theron to play the part in the film.

    Umm...maybe this is a stupid question but how do you define a cult show? I thought it was supposed to be something obscure but those all seem pretty mainstream to me.

    Yeah, I was a little confused about that. I took it as a show that had a devoted fanbase (that probably engages in activities relating to it outside of just watching it). Like, Mystery Science folk put on their own show, Lost folk exchange conspiracy theories, etc. Sorry for misinterpreting it.

    oh yeah of course.

    thing is that Firefly was supposed to be a 5-7 year story. Whedon's past efforts seemed to warrant this (y'know, a little show that was minorly popular called "buffy" I hear the kids liked it)... that's years more of this story that I wanted to see... fookin' fox exec's....

    I guess Farscape had a good run though.

    Yeah, the movie kind of jumped ahead a few years. I'd like to know alot of Shephard's back story and how he got all involved with where he was on that planet and shit. That was a great show. Just another show Fox killed off waaaayyyy too early. They're really good at doing that.

    That's exactly what it is. A show that got almost cult-like fan base. Or a show worth worshiping.

    Speacing of fox showacides, I really liked Wonderfalls. It lasted four episodes on TV, but the cult of Wonderfalls got the first season out on DvD.

    A twenty something slacker suddenly has plastic animals talking to her and having her do weird things that fix peoples lives. I avoided watching it at first cause the premise sounded stupid, but I trusted friend got me hooked with one exchange.

    ER Doctor, "You know the Bic round is the preferred pen for emergency tracheotomies?"
    Jaye, "Not tonight."
    Been hooked ever since. Well, for one season it never got a second. In a surprising move fox aired the episodes out of order and changed the time slot without really telling anyone.

    I am starting to think the Fox network is a cunning plot to get us to watch less TV.

    They're re-airing it on the funny channel now

    I love that show but I gotta admit that their movies sucked. Maybe last one was a so-so, ok one. I heard a rumor thought that show is about to continue again.

    Well, I think the movies were good(not great), BUT they didn't need to be 1 1/2 long. It's too long for a premise for this kind of show. They should have just made 3 different episodes and put them on a DVD...With a new DVD with 3 new episodes coming out every 3-6 months. This whole putting out a "movie" on DVD and then cutting it up to show in three episodes on T.V. was not a brilliant idea.

    wonderfalls. dunno if it counts, but it lasted a whole 4 episodes a few years back on fox.... i bought the dvd of the whole season. damn that show was amazing. *oh, hi, someone beat me to it, i just saw*
    my so-called life...
    farscape...
    feaks and geeks...
    do these count? all i know is that they're relatively obscure. well, not my so-called life, but it was short lived.
    um. *thinks* i like really odd tv shows but i'm so tired right now i can't think of them.
    and futurama pwns. i didn't even know they had movies until recently. *w00t* i hope they keep making more.

    its really very good; see it. its awesome. I wasn't thrilled about the final episode but I guess that's how they chose to tie it up, given that they knew they were going to get cancelled.

    I wish they ran Young Ones as often as they do Ab-Fab. I love Ab-Fab, but I've seen them all too many times to watch it much anymore.

    I think if you were 20" from a sleestack with your eyes pinned open Clockwork Orange style AND say per some chance of harmonic convergence of the planets, the stick they would shoot/throw at you hit you square in the pupil, it would still bounce off without leaving a mark.
