There are plenty show-within-a-shows in entertainment, usually as either an extension of a character or a running gag. Some of these need to be made. A small list...
Psycho Dad (from Married With Children)
Al Bundy's wish fulfillment lived out by a show that's so tacky and tasteless the only network that will carry it is FOX (naturally). The whole thing is laid out in it's ever changing theme song. He's a guy who loves his son but has left a string of murdered ex wives in his wake. On top of that, it's a western!
Krusty The Klown Show (from The Simpsons)
If there's anyone who shouldn't be doing a children's TV show, it's Krusty. A washed up, burned out old hack that doesn't even try to hide his contempt or crankiness. To watch his show is to watch a man slowly die.
Binky The Clown Show (from Garfield And Friends)
On the opposite side of the clown spectrum is Binky, who likes his job a little too much. You know the terror is coming when you hear his catch phrase/war cry, "HEEEEEEEEEY KIDS!" What follows is a shrill, over the top, in your face performance that will surely give children nightmares well into their golden years.
The Brown Hornet (from Fat Albert)
I admit that I'd get more excited for this show than for Fat Albert himself. You can't deny an outer space superhero with an afro and two, count 'em, TWO SIDEKICKS! He had a pretty sweet space ship too.
Coming Attractions (from The Critic)
Here's the question this show raises. If it's the fourth highest ranked film critic show on cable and the host is admittedly a homely troll, how the hell can Jay Sherman afford that sweet Manhattan apartment?
