Either I've been spending too much time alone in my room, or I'm dead, but somehow I've completely missed
Wonder Showzen, a show which borrows aesthetically from
Sesame Street, but with a lot more heroin use and puppet sex. While its satire can sometimes seem a bit tired,
it's done in a unique and manic way. Children are often utilized as on-the-street interviewers of unsuspecting adults in
a segment simply called "Beat Kids." It's not a show you want to examine too closely, but when it works,
you'll need a team of janitors to clean up your splattered brains after your head explodes from laughing so hard. And
besides, it does the TV Funhouse thing better
than TV Funhouse ever did. The show airs on MTV2.

Wait a second, so now MTV2 is airing shows that are not music video-related, nor even music-related? so, what, now they'll bring out MTV3 and say "this time, we really mean it, this network will air all videos, all the time?"

Damn...great to see someone finally picked this up. The "pilot" has been around for at least 4 years, and was initially known as "Kids Show"; developed for USA Networks, of all places. Good stuff.
