One of my favorite genres, always looking for more. Bonus points if it's currently on streaming.

I've watched the absolute hell out of That Mitchell and Webb Look, Kids in the Hall, Whitest Kids U Know, and obviously SNL and MadTV but both of those had a lot of ups and downs.

I saw the one season each that Astronomy Club and The Moth Effect had and they were both pretty good. I've seen some A Bit of Fry and Laurie, but can't find a good place to stream it. TripTank was basically a sketch show with cartoons, and I liked that a lot too.

These are all good, but thank you for including The State! So hilarious.

That’s what I was looking for too! So many great actors started there. MTV totally screwed them by cancelling and shelving it while it was still killer.

Beginning of the end for MTV?

It sure felt like it. They went all in on The Real World and killed creativity.

The State! was on around the same time as Liquid TV. Remember that? I loved it. The Maxx, Aeon Flux, Spawn, and The Head were ALL so damn good.

Hell yeah! Incredible shows. Certainly had a crush on Aeon Flux and The Head kinda freaked me out, but in a good way. The Maxx was a sweetheart, really. Definitely miss that kind of programming.
