Not really, other than the underlying conspiracy that was never fully developed, and hints to it being in the near future.

I didn't watch it much but what little I did see it seemed to be a bit "out there".

I remember the mother had huge boobies though.

Not exactly a show, but one night like 25 years ago I was up way late and this infomercial came on
that was unbelieveably strange. Apparently it's got a bit of a cult following today.

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?

Anything made by David Lynch. Twin Peak's purpose was to get a show. Not write a show for audiencence or express anything. He created the concept of a dead girl to write a show. The rest is a one-man inside narration.

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.

Xavier, oh god.

My best friend has the DVD set and when we've moved far past sobriety we pop a disc in. Both of us were hooked during college when it aired on AS.

That show is exhausting to watch. I can't imagine the process the creators went through for each episode.

We still call our scheduled golf games "shakashuri blowdowns" and Xavier references comprise a good 20% of our inside jokes.

I'm a survivor, we're a dying breed.

Here are some other weapons-grade wordplays from our favorite spiritualist (seriously though the wordplay in this show is fucking off the charts and one of the reasons it's so exhausting to take in an episode)

Xavier: Life. You could say it started when I was a kid. Like most folks, I've always been different. But not like the others. Other kids could be cruel, they'd call me names: dweeb, chimp, honky, dweeby-chimp, honky-dweeb, and worst of all: chomsky-honk. Did you know there's over eighty-seven combinations of those soul-scalding words? I found out the hard way. Life! Adolescence was better: went to the prom with a model, but she left with some jock. Dyke!

Townie: So you use your powers to save people?
Xavier: (scoffs) Powers are for the weak. I have no powers. I mean, unless you count the power to blow minds with my weapons-grade philosophical insights.

Xavier: A dead child is like pudding. The proof is in the fact that he probably looked like pudding when he got hit by that car. And I think it's time you be pudding his chocolate memory to rest.

Xavier: Pills are just a psychotropic band-aid on a biochemical crutch. I took a pill once, and I woke up with a booty hole the size of a wine bottle, fat end first. But did I whine? No, I turned to the bottle.

Xavier: This is what the tandem cycle of random violence breeds! A vengeful black hit-sludge with a grudge hath brought the reaper you've sown in the goo of your guilt, as the créme-de-karma is roosting home to harm ya. It always ends up boning the poor.

Xavier: [after being put on the spot for a new business idea by Peterson] I know I was moving my hot-dog in and out of Peterson's wife's buns last night.
Peterson: My wife is dead.
Xavier: I never said it was consensual. Don't worry, I used condiments. She enjoyed it with relish! Her mouth passed mustard! I could hardly ketchup to her va-gi-na!

(I had A LOT of fun compiling this)

For American shows, the most eccentric shows I've watched were Haven and Banshee.
But the English seem to have an edge among the shows I've watched, and this would include The Prisoner and Dr. Who.
