Telehell
Welcome to the place where Bad TV and Dante's 9 Circles of Hell come together like Hi-C & Turkey...I can't really make it any more clear than that. We drop a new Episode Bi-Weekly on Sunday Nights (EST); if you're a fan of Bad TV, Flops or Failures, this one's for you.

One of the all time greatest TV music composers passed away on June 26th at age 93...Last season, we did an episode about the Life & the Work of Lalo Schifrin on our Patreon--as a tribute, we would like to present that show for you...
SPECIAL: Long before there was ever a Telehell, I was (and still am) a Radio guy...and since my radio career is now officially old enough to drink, this would be a good time to do a little reflecting on the past in this series of vignettes while I do battle against a Ham Radio unit (Long story).
Since this is a little longer than our usual shows, feel free to jump around where needed below:
04:40 - Jingles: A Love Story
26:27 - M...
MIDSEASON FINALE: "The Bonfire of Vanity Projects" concludes with a simple warning; that just because you CAN do everything in the world of showbiz, doesn't mean that you SHOULD...and that includes hosting talk shows--maybe if this one aired in France, it would've stayed on for Decades.
Telehell will return sometime later in the Summer...as always, we'll explain later...but until then, thank you for everything...

By Special Request; some of you have wanted to hear the bit we did where a Shakesperian actor (played by Mike Davison) read the lyrics to the Hammerman Theme song...I've heard of worse ways to promote our upcoming RIFF OF TWO EPISODES This Saturday, April 5th 2025 @ 8PM EASTERN on our Youtube Channel...So, here 'ya go.
STOP! Hammertime...Or should that be "Stop Hammertime from ever happening again!" Welcome to "The Bonfire of Vanity Projects"; our next 3 shows will be dealing with self-titled shows gone wrong, and this one features things that have to be seen to believed...if only there was a way to show you how bad the animation is...oh, wait...There is...

For our next Patreon episode request, Chris Michaud wanted us to take a trip into a dystopian world full of Super Powered Trucks, plotlines taken from other movies AND and Australian Battery salesmen...In other words, a Sink Hole along TV's vast highway.

New shows Whenever I feel like it (Doctor's Orders), But I will try to do one once every 2-4 weeks.
We'll see 'ya next week for "The Highwayman"
What price would you pay for Love? Well, we don't know much about that, but we do know that one of our Patrons (Chris Michaud) paid a pretty hefty price just to play a Game show host in this one, and you better believe he'll get his money's worth in this look at a 1984 TV Movie that asks just how far are you willing to go to make a buck.

Dear 2003 TV Viewer,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice an hour of Prime time. But we think you’re crazy for making us put on a Game Show about how crazy these gubernatorial candidates were. You see them as you want to see them… In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of them is an ex-sitcom star, and an old guy, and an artist, an Adult film Star, an inexperienced ...
SEASON 7 PREMIERE: It's taken us 6 years; but it's time (FINALLY) to not only take down a British TV show, but also a Legend among "Worst TV Shows of all Time"...Was this show innocent, misunderstood satire? Or was there something more Nefarious in mind?

THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER (We Promise)!!! But BEFORE We kick off Season 7 Next week with 3 shows in a row, we have some unfinished business to take care of...Whatever became of "The Genre-Mat"? Who is this Efficency Guy? and Why don't I appear until the Very End of this? Answers to most of these questions will be revealed...and then casually dismissed, I'm sure!

SPECIAL: With the Boss out for Thanksgiving, and me not having eaten Surface food in a long time, I’m raiding his fridge to pull out 6 leftovers from our Patreon that are guaranteed to give Advertisers (and myself) some indigestion…
Filmed in ...
