 It's fun seeing this discussion going on. I loved that show. Brack and Moltar, but the songs that they did... Liquid Television was something else. Aeon Flux was wild and there was just one off animations in there that were really little musicals. I seem to recall one with a sort of space stock car race where the pilot ran it till failure but I think Cake was used for the soundtrack, maybe going the distance, back when that was new. 
 Ren and Stimpy was another if you were into the surreal and man was I ever. 

 Just watched a Japanese stop motion called Junk Head this weekend what was a brain bender. It's wild the dialogue is mumble Japaneses so I suspect subtitling was always necessary, but there's English subs. It's sort of manga like and by a director who did it as a labor of love, no film experience. Found it looking for DelToro movies and got to it as he endorsed it. There's no resolutions only questions. So be warned. 

  Back to the late 80's into the 90's for a moment, it seemed all around weird. It's like there were no rules. Pee-Wee, Max Headroom, MacGuiver, Sledgehammer, Airwolf... Miniseries, Scifi was on TV like V, Alien Nation, or comedy like Alf or 3rd Rock they were just trying so much. I was staying up for Up All Night on USA Friday with Ronda and Saturday with Gilbert and Monstervision from TNT I'm sure I lost brain cells to the B movies but I saw the Beatles Help at like 3AM on PBS too... The closest I get to that now it You Tube, everything else seems to have crystallized into a place I just don't have time for anymore. 

  As Hunter Thompson said, "It still hasn't gotten weird enough for me.."
