Hardcore TV

9.0

1992

A short-lived sketch comedy series in the vein of SCTV and Saturday Night Live aired on HBO intermittently between 1992-1994. Written by Tim Blake Nelson, hosted by Dave Konig, and featuring Susie Essman, . SCTV and Saturday Night Live fans were disappointed with the short run. However If you get up off your butt and rotate your antenna... If your cable is screwed up... And if the air is full of electricity... Then somewhere, between channels 36 and 37, you'll come upon a TV universe turned inside out. The tour's leaving now, so grease yourself up, strap yourself in, hide all pets, take small bites, use a number 2 pencil, ignore the squishy sounds, breathe through your mouth, and have your tickets ready... You've entered the world of HARDCORE TV! Featuring “Fairytales From the Darkside,””Rastapiece Theater,””Cindy’s Sex Talk” and “Fly-Fishing Jam,” and other stabs at infomercials and TV ads.
