British incarnation of NBC's legendary late-night comedy showcase. Broadcast live each week, this UK version brings the high-wire, anything-can-happen energy that makes 'SNL' a cultural force, now reimagined through a distinctly British lens.
A short-lived weekly series for pre-teens(ages 9-12) using comedy sketches to explore friendship, family, communication, and other issues.
Hollywood heavyweights, political powerhouses, your next door neighbour... no-one is safe in Double Take. This classic Aussie sketch show balances the satirical with the downright silly with spoofs of TV shows, movies, celebrities and much more. Double Take features eerily close to the bone video clips which shed new light on the world's hottest musical acts, including Beyonce, Silverchair, Britney Spears, Kings of Leon, the Veronicas and rocking royal Prince Harry.
Compilation of vintage clips from French and Saunders, along with new material.

Like dogs loose at a football match, Freya Parker and Celeste Dring burst onto the screen. Social commentary and people falling over in a smart yet totally stupid sketch show.

This show was spun off from "SCTV Network 90" which was cancelled after two seasons on NBC. The same cast from 1982-83, with the exception of John Candy, appears on this 45-minute sketch comedy series. It all starts when "SCTV" mastermind Guy Cabellaro announces that he's turning his station into a pay cable channel. The results are amusing, as the same manic humor and wacky characters that made the old SCTV Network so great continued to thrive. Unfortunately, the show was too expensive to produce for Cinemax's tastes and it was cancelled after one year.

Flipside was a sketch and mockumentary comedy series broadcast late Saturday nights on ABC TV (Australia) in 2002. "Extremely popular amongst Australian TV fans in particular and comedy devotees in particular, Flipside offered a potpourri of zany sketches, music, monologues, and mockumentaries. The talented ensemble cast served up a bizarro world in which the normal was abnormal and vice versa. Though many of the segments were cleverly scripted, just as many more were spontaneous and off-the-cuff. Telecast by Australia's ABC network, the first of Flipside's seven half-hour episodes was seen on May 4, 2002." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
