I'm watching some TV show on a local channel now that is so fucked up...
It's like Desperate Housewives after a bad hit of acid. And set in 3 time periods at once. I can't tell if it's in the 50's, the present, or Victorian times cause it seems to keep randomly switching. It has hilariously tacky sound effects too.

Wow, sounds good. Things that just happen without any reason tend to be the most enjoyable.

Is it pretending to be really profound? Because if it is.... They're always the most entertaining ones.

It just ended.
:(
I couldn't tell what it was pretending to be. Most of the dialogue was non-sequiturs. Now that I think of it, it was a movie, I believe, as it was about an hour and a half long, and there's usually a movie on at that time.

non-sequitur. The cheap version of profundity. or profoundness. Meh.
If they speak in statements that just don't follow on logically, silly people think they're being so smart that laymen can't understand it with their inferior brain.

I'm just ranting though. I haven't been to sleep tonight, and it's 8:25 am.
...need coffee.

Hooray for caffeine!
The preferred drug of choice of jillions of Americans!(I can't think of a real number to put there)

Eh, the number of choice is twelvety. It's my favoured imaginary number. It works no matter what number of zeros you add to the end.

Indeed, hurray for caffeine. I feel I should be drinking tea, being from Britain, but it doesn't get the job done in the same way. I should give credit for me being awake all night to the dobbs town thing. It just loops around, and I keep laughing. The worlds largest producer of mana!

Lots and lots of wonderfully weird shows on Japanese TV. :)
Some of the weirdest I ever saw:

a late night Japanese dating show featuring people who had trouble meeting dates - a very young single mother, a transgender, a costume/role-play fetishist, and a young woman who lived with her family at a "haunted" Buddhist temple.

a variety show featuring a segment in which small local businesses vie for a short advertising slot - by seeing how long their contestant can sit in a tub of very hot water.

the infamous Wide Show 11 PM, which was a combination of the Tonight Show, Jerry Springer, Geraldo, and The Man Show. Memoralable segments included: a serious investigation into UFOs, Mr. Marik (a magician) explaining "pyramid power", the "AV queen olympics" (a swimming pool full porn starlets playing a strip version of king of the hill - last one with her bikini top on wins! :)), and a popular dominatrix giving detailed advice on Japanese style rope bondage.

the infamous Ganman

many others with adult content

Some of the adult themed TV programs:
Gilgamesh Night - a late night "wide show" hosted by semi-nude pore starlets and popular models. This one starred Ai Iijima, a sort of Japanese Traci Lords.

Yoru Bijo TV - a late night show which features all sorts of sexual topics, usually as a weak excuse to show T&A - weekly porn shop video recommendations, rate the "love hotel", the hilarious dominatrixsesque "sex lecturer", how to photograph naked women, exercises for women to improve sexual performance (all demonstrated in lingere)

a show, who's name I've forgotten, featuring young housewives who give some poor looser advice about his women problems - while giving him a sponge bath.

another one who's name I forget, that featured interviews with various prostitutes about their specialties.

a sort of game show in which teams of young women competed - an integeral part of which was they had to change into randomly chosen costumes behind a changing curtain that dropped after 60 seconds (and was always invaded by the cameraman anyway)

several new years game shows in which celebs play strip janken (rock-paper-scissors) down to their undies
