A short-lived sketch comedy series in the vein of SCTV and Saturday Night Live aired on HBO intermittently between 1992-1994. Written by Tim Blake Nelson, hosted by Dave Konig, and featuring Susie Essman, . SCTV and Saturday Night Live fans were disappointed with the short run.

Then somewhere, between channels 36 and 37, you'll come upon a TV universe turned inside out. The tour's leaving now, so grease yourself up, strap yourself in, hide all pets, take small bites, use a number 2 pencil, ignore the squishy sounds, breathe through your mouth, and have your tickets ready... You've entered the world of HARDCORE TV! Featuring “Fairytales From the Darkside,””Rastapiece Theater,””Cindy’s Sex Talk” and “Fly-Fishing Jam,” and other stabs at infomercials and TV ads.
