Ah, Wonder Showzen! This was a great off-the-wall comedy sketch bit from people who were probably huffing paint in the writers’ room. I don’t know if it lasted more than one season and I can’t be bothered to check. It has a real The State or Mr Show vibe in that it was uncomfortably ahead of its time. The State was a lot less uncomfortable. Mr Show was uncomfortable for less offensive reasons. But I’d call them all completely original. (Nothing is original, I know…)
Loved Wonder Showzen though I never got to see it when it first aired. Really irreverent and crazy stuff. I loved the “Horse Apples” episode with no pretense of not making fun of rednecks and going as far as possible into tasteless territory. Not for everyone, but in a way I wish TV had more balls like this.
