[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The most eccentric show you've ever watched? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 12/30/2019 6:55:02 AM EST

I have seen all brand of things on television and in GD here. But. I am on my second spin with watching Twin Peaks and I have to say it is the most captivating and oddest thing I've ever feasted my eyes upon. If you've never seen it it is currently on Netflix. If you have, thoughts? What's the most eccentric television show you have ever been invested in?

Twin Peaks takes the cake for that...

I feel like we might be conflating absurdist or surrealism with eccentric, possibly, based on a couple of the responses.

If we move in that direction, your answer is Xavier Renegade Angel, and there are no contenders that even begin to punch in that weight class because the entire staff including the custodians had to have been piping LSD through the ventilation system to come up with that.

Super Jail was an odd piece. As was Ugly Americans. Both were entertaining but strange.

Just watched a few episodes last week, first since it went off. "Who is number one"?
The Avengers was a little off beat also.

My wife used to always watch that sitcom called "Soap" (I think that was the name of it).

Does that qualify?

A lot of shows are "quirky", but they still have traditional through-lines and can be easily followed and understood.

Then there are the shows that used to be on Adult Swim like 12 oz. Mouse, anything Tim and Eric make, etc. I think you had to have been hopped up on goofballs to even begin to understand some of those shows.

The Patriot on Amazon is quite the show. I enjoyed it anyways. The store clerk shootout song/scene is one of the most bizarre, hilarious in a weird way, things I have ever seen.

Edit: yup, beat...
