A Gallery of Really Weird TV Shows

When you talk about "really weird TV," it could honestly be argued that many quite popular shows are really weird, but you can't really argue with success. This is about shows that were so strange they failed almost immediately. When cable TV exploded in the early 1980s, there was suddenly an awful lot of TV channels that were running 24 hours a day. They needed original content, so any and all ideas were considered. Some shows lasted a few years, while others were yanked after the first comments rolled in. 



In a list like this, you would expect to see My Mother the Car and Heil Honey I'm Home! since they are so well known for being bad. But there are plenty of series that were so poorly-conceived they didn't receive even negative attention, or were pulled from the schedule before you got a chance to hear about them. Those are the most interesting entries in the list of 31 of the strangest shows to ever air on TV at Cracked.

I meant you were about six years old when that aired. Checking the dates, I was seven. I thought it was a hilarious concept, and my dad wanted to see it because of Jerry Van Dyke. However, I don't think my family lasted more than a couple of episodes. We got two TV channels, and I guess what was on the other one in that time slot was better.
