Night Flight (1981)
Anarchistic Television
Exactly the kind of television that wouldn't be aired today, Night Flight's bizarre (and often hysterical) mix of videos, B-movies and short tv spots was hypnotizing.
It showed such animated spots as "Bambi vs. Godzilla" and "Jac Mack and Rad Boy", and showing cutting edge videos as The Red Hot Chili Peppers' "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" and Fishbone's "Party at Ground Zero" (both band's first video efforts, only shown to my knowledge on Night Flight nationally.).
Brilliant, weird, revolutionary, and utterly what tv needs right now.
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law (2000)
Quirky, odd, funny
Another member of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, it features Harvey Birdman, former crime-fighter and now super hero lawyer; Avenger, his trusted falcon aid and typist; and Peanut, his multi-talented and borderline psychotic legal secretary.
Parodying many famous cartoon characters (Scooby Doo, the Superfriends, Fred Flintstone, among others) the humor is off-beat, hip and often surprisingly subtle.
Main-stream sitcom fans probably won't get it, but those with a taste for the eclectic or the campy will end up laughing out loud.
