My favorite is Girls With Low Self-Esteem, mentioned frequently on Arrested Development.

Well, that was a straight-to-DVD series, but I’ll forgive you for mentioning Arrested Development.
“Girls Gone Wild meets Boys Gone Wild”
“CSI-The Morgue”
“Interviews With boring people”
“A Day In The Life of a Janitor”
“Rating The Automobile Waxes: Jwax vs. Turtlewax”
“Curling: The Spring Training Show”
“Canadian Cooking: How To Make Grilled Cheese Sandwiches”

You Bet Your Ass, from Contact

IIRC, Intolerable Cruelty ends with Cedric the Entertainer hosting a show called Nail Your Ass. (The girls from Sex & the City were right: there is a lot more activity involving the ass these days.)
Speaking of S&tC asses, Sarah Jessica Parker’s character in Mars Attacks! hosts a cringe-inducing interview show, but I don’t recall if the show was ever named in the movie.

Also,
Hey Jorge!
Mrs. Falbo’s Tiny Town
and from the New Year’s Day 1984 episode:
DOUBLETHINK - where contestants use doublethink to vie for
valuable prizes such as razor blades and shoestrings (Sample Q&A:
Today, the chocolate ration is 3 grams. Tomorrow, it is 2.5 grams.
Has Big Brother increased or decreased the chocolate ration?
Of course, the answer is -He increased it.)
COMRADE LaLAINE EXERCIZE SHOW - Cmrd LaL orders viewers to do exercizes via the telescreen.
And finally - THE PBB CLUB - PBB standing for “Praise Big Brother!”
“Peas In a Pod” - Kelly tries out to play the daughter for the initially generic family sitcom. But when she makes comments to the producers about her own background, it gets changed into a raunchy, bawdy slapstick comedy (with remarkable similarities to the Bundy family & to Marcy & Jeff) that becomes a huge hit, only to get cancelled when an uptight housewife launches a campaign to end it.

Springfield also has “New York Nookie”
[/QUOTE]
Nitpick: I believe it was called Nookie in New York.
Other fictional shows from The Simpsons that haven’t been mentioned:
Admiral Baby Police Cops Ethnic Mismatch Comedy #644 Touch the Stove! Gabbo Herschel Krustofsky’s Clown-Related Entertainment Show
…and probably a dozen more than I can’t think of off the top of my head. I bet FOX could fill their entire lineup and then some if they made real shows out of every fictional show that’s ever been mentioned on The Simpsons.
