No wrong answers. Could be a game show, docu-series, fiction, sci-fi, anything that didn't make it but should have.

Monkey Dust.

It was such a viscerally funny show, which never really got the chance to shine in its 3 seasons. It's a little dated now but it's still got some brutal takes that are relevant today.

    I love monkey dust. Most of the sketches are still relevant and really funny. Definitely worth a watch for those who haven't seen it.

    So difficult to find in one place tho. There are sketches available on YouTube but no episodes sadly.

    I found it out on the high seas one time so I have all the episodes. I liked it so much I also tried to buy all the seasons on DVD. Sadly only season 1 is available, apparently there were licensing issues with the music for season 2 and 3 that prevented it from being released.

    The show's creator died young: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Thompson

    Real shame as monkey dust was one of the darkest comedies I've seen and had some great characters.
