Cult tv shows anyone?

[percolator fish]

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!

[Bikerpunk]

Doctor Who.

[VoldtaEngler]

Lexx

[DJ Bat]

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

[Vitorro]

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

[Ajax Knucklebones]

The Morton Downey Jr. show...Just like Wally George...Great shows back in the day...

The Young Ones
Night Flight
Like Vitorro...I go with MTV's Liquid Television.
MST3000

[Lady Alias]

Lost and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (OMFG 2 EPS LEFT)

and I don't know if it's considered culty, but Heroes

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.

[Rockwulf]

Summer Heights High

[mystoo]

Outer Limits.
Ab-Fab

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.

[Buster Friendly]

David Letterman, but from the 80's... his original show. Crazy ass shit that was.

Just got done watching the whole measely one season of Firefly. only the good die young.

Have you seen the movie yet?

[Buster Friendly]

Have you seen the movie yet?

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.

[DJ Bat]

Like Vitorro...I go with MTV's Liquid Television.

wow... LTV being cult status... ...aeon flux... hmm... crap... that bitch almost killed us... I feel.... cultish? old? A little of both?



Working on AF for LTV...hah - Roy Orbison glasses ftw.

[percolator fish]

did anyone ever watch Wonderfalls? I loved that show How about American Gothic? that wasnt bad either, both 1 season wonders.

[OliX]

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.

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

All hail hypno toad!

[Cafe_Post_Mortem]

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.

Futurama rocked! I hope they do new DVD's.

They did the same thing when Firefly aired.

[OliX]

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.

[soma_stardust]

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.

[Mr Karl]

not that I particularily like it but I've always gotta watch degrassi

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Eh?

[mystoo]

Hey Mr. K, new hat!
What did I tell you about Degrassi? Pfft....
Btw, are you watching the new Degrassi or the old re-runs?

[VoltaireBlue]

carnivale, dead like me, and futurama.

[Mr Karl]

Btw, are you watching the new Degrassi or the old re-runs?

I only watch them as they come out..............I saw the old ones way back when..................I'm not really sure why I watch it though , but I just can't help myself

[DJ Bat]

carnivale,

We still have to watch the 2nd season but keep delaying due to knowing it just dies there... great first season though. Too bad Lynch didn't get involved. Could of saved it.

Lynch better make another TV series soon G'DAMNIT!

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.

[ForrestBlack]

I miss Captain Cosmic

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.

[ForrestBlack]

[vampyrdraven666]

Sleestaks had sticks? I thought they had special quartz crystals that did shit?

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Never heard of him? Was he a California thing? I dig the robot's boobs, though.

[DJ Bat]

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.
