This topic has been making the rounds on local radio, although I suspect it originated with the Onion. I thought I’d start it as a thread here (since it didn’t show up in a search). Here are some Taliban-ized tv shows for the Afghan prime time lineup.

Allah McBeal  
Everybody Loves Achmed  
Diagnosis Heresy  
Mad About Everything  
Buffy - the Imperialist Yankee-dog Slayer  
Wheel of Torture  
Children are Forbidden from saying the Darnedest Things  
Afghanistan’s Wackiest Execution Videos  
When the Northern Alliance Attacks IV  
True Stories of the Kabul Patrol  
The Price is Right, if Osama Says it’s Right  
That 1400’s Show  
This Old Cave  
Survivor: Afghanistan  
Ripley’s: Believe It or Else

Your turn …
