The Idiot Box 1991

This show is definitely not for everyone and probably would offend people with so-called "modern sensibilities." The humor is pretty sophomoric and basic, but I still had some laugh-out-loud moments in between the cringe. Besides Ricky Lake making a cameo, there's also cameos from the red-headed kid from the later seasons of Diff'rent Strokes and Flea; oh, and one of the regular cast members is the guy who called Jerry a phoney on Seinfeld years later.

What is remarkable about it, though, is the fact that it was the kind of original sketch comedy MTV put on the air on a Thursday night a full 3 years before The State's tenure began.
