I was flipping channels the other night and came across something that turned out to be _Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace_. Freaking hilarious! And it game me a nostalgic feeling, like watching early seasons of _Mystery Science Theater_ and my favorite 1970s and 80s reruns. How come I’ve never heard of this before? Now I can’t even remember what channel it was on. ---

BBC America, perhaps? It was on Channel 4 over here but I think they show generally British shows over there on BBCA rather than just the BBC’s stuff. It _is_ excellent. ---

It’s a British import…you were watching Cartoon Network…specifically their Adult Swim lineup. Good timing on you discovering this, the episode they showed on Sunday night/Monday morning was the first episode. Unless they change the schedule you should be able to see the other 5 episodes in the coming weeks. It made me realize that profanity is funnier when its bleeped rather than just cut out and replaced with nothing. ---

No, I don’t have B.B.C. America.
