Upright Citizens Brigade

Late-night sketch-comedy show based on the humor of MAD magazine. Material includes impersonations, fake commercials, mock movie trailers, and even Spy vs. Spy segments. Competes against Saturday Night Live in its time slot, but aimed at a younger-adult audience.

Every episode of this critically acclaimed and award-winning show is packed with unforgettable adventures, cutting satire, and hilarious absurdity — from pissed off celebrities to talking towels to underpants-stealing gnomes and crime-fighting kids. So join Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny for all their foul-mouthed adventures. For them, it's all part of growing up in South Park!

A British show in which actors and comedians improvise sketches in various "theatre-sports"-type games, based on audience suggestions. The games might include singing a Hoedown about Tory Politicians, acting out a soap opera as hamsters, becoming bizarre super-heroes, or making up a musical about the life of an audience member.

Follows the lives of three high school freshman Jamal, Milk, and Grover. These three are benchwarmers on the school basketball team, but legends in their own minds.

British sitcom about the misadventures of two high-powered career women, active on the London fashion scene. Edina "Eddie" Monsoon is a professional public relations agent, who owns her own PR firm. Patricia "Patsy" Stone is the fashion director in a top British magazine. In their professional lives, they are rather successful. They spend their free time by constantly indulging in cigarettes, alcohol and recreational drugs, while trying to stay young and to relive their glory days in the Mod subculture.

An offshoot of "The Daily Show" (1996), "The Colbert Report" (the Ts in Colbert and Report are silent) is a parody of shows like "The O'Reilly Factor". Colbert begins the show with teasers about the show's content, then the credits go by, with a giant eagle and the Stars and Stripes featured predominantly. Colbert peppers commentaries with phrases like, "Look, I don't have time to read books" or "President Bush isn't a head thinker, he's a gut thinker." Aspects of talking-head programs are exaggerated and Colbert presents a host overwhelmed by his own importance. Guests do not walk on-stage but are seated at a small table to the side. Colbert runs over to them, encouraging the audience to applaud and high-five him as he passes. He is then likely to begin an interview by asking a guest something like, "Explain evolution in 20 seconds", or "Isn't everyone who disagrees with the President guilty of treason?" Colbert is also very clear about our #1 threat": "Bears!" His distrust of bears is a continuing theme.
