Marooned?

Jack Black, Channel 101, and VH1 want to introduce you to their new interactive sketch comedy show: Acceptable.tv. Each week you'll see five mini TV shows made by the Acceptable.tv team.

Amigo Undead is the story of Kevin Ostrowski as he attempts to reconcile with his estranged, underachieving brother Norm on a camping trip. They're accompanied by several of Norm's unusual friends. When one of these friends dies accidentally, the decision is made to bury him out in the desert with some very unforeseen supernatural consequences.

It's a tough gig working for the Water Department, and it's also a tough gig working in Power. Dan Harmon and Ryan Ridley show you why.

When asked to say a few words about Reporters, Justin Roiland replied, "It's a modern tale and struggle of... uhm... I dunno. A fantastic epic following the struggles of two well-meaning newspaper reporters and their out-of-the-ordinary boss." He then left the room and returned moments later to add: "A.K.A. a slapdash turd of a Channel 101 show." This insane attempt from Roiland, Vatche Panos, and Kelsy Abbott charmed audiences just enough in January of 2007 to fill the Prime Time void left by the Phone Sexxers self-cancellation. Even later, Justin returned to add that "Reporters is the only Channel 101 show that has AIDS. You should put that."

When Phone Sexxers premiered in the summer of 2006 the audience granted the simple show about Phone Sex the honor of another episode. Ryan Ridley and Abed Gheith took their good fortune and ran with it, re-inventing themselves with every episode, right up until the end of the 2006 season. They managed to juxtapose the inner workings of the male phone sex industry with situations ranging from high-rise bloodbaths to the depths of hell, and did it with the kind of class and skill that landed the show Best Editing, Best Special Effects, and Best Writing at the 2006 Channy Awards. In January of 2007, Phone Sexxers ended their legacy with a touching self-cancellation that would make Mike Nichols proud.

In 2009, Danny Jelinek and Jason Whetzell teamed up to bring Channel 101 an offbeat, ridiculously well-made series consisting of five short segments from five different creators. Two years later, the show was cancelled. In between, "Everything" set a slew of Channel 101 records and produced a mind-blowing nineteen episodes. Clear your schedule and soak in every episode of this show - it's truly a Channel 101 classic.

After the success of Your Magic Touched Me and Your Magic Touched Me: Nights, there were a lot of people figuring that Ryan Nagata needed the lovable Shizuki Thornburg to crack prime time again. But those people are morons... and wrong. In The Forgotten Classics, host Jeff Davis takes us back in time through the hidden cinematic gems you've never seen.
