Telehell

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.

SPECIAL APPEAL: One of my longest-running friends (whom you heard in the previous episode) needs your help. She's raising money for an upcoming walk in support of an ALS charity. The walk takes place in 2 weeks; as of press time, she's 40% towards her goal. If you support such causes, do what you can to pitch in. I thank you, and my friend thanks you too...

SPECIAL RE-POST: It has come to our attention that some--if not MOST--of the episode we Just posted may be too annoying for fragile ears. So with that, we present an ALTERNATE, SOFTER Version of the show in question--now with 78% Less Baby & Burping sounds. But don't worry, we're keeping the Original version up just in case there are those who don't mind the noise...

Sorry about this.

PART 1: It's bad enough that we have to deal with another TV series where a baby can "Talk" despite its age and lack of motor skills; it's even worse when I have to review it while tending to the needs of future evil souls.

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:

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...

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?
