Cult TV shows are the best.
my favourites are The Young Ones , Red Dwarf and Lexx.
The young ones
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/images/400/youngones_1.jpg
The Young Ones was a short lived series which paved/pioneered the way for alternate british comedy.
Its about Four University students living in a house together.
(Left to Right)
Vyvyan, Very Metal (Very Violent ; direct , brute and funny)
Rick, The People's Poet (A pompous wanker , we love to hate him)
Mike, The Cool Guy (A pretty boy ; vain but has all the cheesy lines)
Neil, The Hippie (A moping , unsure , confused , slow good hearted guy)
The comedy comes at you in all types ; slapstick ; rude toilet humour and sophisticated british witty jokes. The characters are great and work well with each other -- the clash beetween them is absolutely great.
They get into all sorts of mischief.
Each Show had a band playing including the awesome MOTORHEAD
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHECK THIS SHOW OUT
Red Dwarf
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9e/Red_dwarf_logo.png/300px-Red_dwarf_logo.png
The show is set 3 million years in the future in deep space, and revolves around the adventures of the crew of the Jupiter Mining Corporation's deep space vessel Red Dwarf. Primary characters in the show include Dave Lister,Arnold Judas Rimmer (a hologram of Dave's dead crew mate), the Cat (a humanoid descended from cats), Holly (the ship's computer with an IQ of 6000, 'the same IQ as 6000 PE teachers'), from series 2 Kryten (a 4000 series mechanoid) and from series 7, Kristine Kochanski (a version of Dave's ex-girlfriend, from a parallel universe).
Red Dwarf is more of a botique show you grow into. Once you get into it it consumes you.
Red Dwarf is kind of a spoof of sci-fi , but once you go past that it actually has some awesome sci fi concepts , its also a drama sitcom at times but it always comes back to being mainly a comedy though so keep that in mind.
once again its great british comedy. This show was and is a big underdog which proved the critics wrong and wrong over and over. They said a show like this would never be a commericial success. They were wrong. This show has run 8 series and has stood the test of time. Many Succesful books have been written for red dwarf (running at parrallels but not the same as the series) that is based on the show.
They is currently pre production for a movie using the original actors.
This is my absolute favourite show. check it out you might like it:thumb: Funny as hell and SO cool!
LEXX is a more straight and serious show. its very dark and weird and has student art film feel to it. Very adult themes. I would get more into it but im lazy.
OK those are my Cult Shows. Feel free to discuss/describe your favourites or mine or anyone elses , also post your fandom / appreciation of your cult shows:thumb:
