These 55 Weird TV Shows Are Special In Their Unique Way

"Pushing Daisies was magical. Ned and Chuck were simply perfection for an on-screen couple. I loved Kristin Chenoweth and the rest of the cast. The sets and costumes were wonderful. I don't know if you can tell but I loved this show."

"My only exposure to Monty Python over the years (I'm 30 years old), has been watching and loving the "Holy Grail", and "Life of Brian" films, as well as seeing the Dead Parrot and Spanish Inquisition sketches. I was a little hesitant but I said ok and we started it up. Let me tell you, I laughed so hard at certain segments that I had tears in my eyes. I don't know if I was just in the right frame of mind or just tired enough or what, but I caught myself laughing like a fool a few times. We watched 4 full episodes and I adored what I saw. Some sketches were obviously better than others, but I really enjoyed most of it. The funny thing is, being a guy from the US born in 1989, so many of the British references and slang from the era go over my head but it still struck me as funny due to the delivery."

"Every time I start to feel like it's going to get boring, they drag me back in with entertaining scenes. The way season 1 all came together in the end was pretty fun to watch as it unfolded. I started season 2 thinking they didn't have anywhere further to go, but no matter how silly or whimsical season 2 gets as it goes along, I continue to enjoy it."

"A live action show about An injured hitman befriends his kidnapped daughter's imaginary friend - a perky blue flying unicorn.

Starring Christopher Meloni as the hitman and Patton Oswalt as the unicorn."

"It's a show following the children's horror genre of the early 90's, about a couple kids who live in the strangest place in the world, and yet everyone else seems to think it's normal. Shockingly similar to the show "Gravity Falls" except that Eerie Indiana came first

The show only got one season, only 19 episodes. One of my favorite shows growing up. But it seems horribly underrated, few people I've brought it up with (aside from my family) have so much as even heard of it. Which is a shame, I think a reboot would be highly successful with other similar shows like Gravity Falls, Stranger Things, etc."

"Starts off light and funny, but goes dark like a bad acid trip."

"Season 1 is paced well and it's weird and campy and I loved it. Season 2 is good at the start and the end, but the middle becomes a mess with pointless storylines to pad out the season to the full season order of episodes it received (among other executive meddling issues). Season 3 is crazy. Lynch is fully let loose upon his audience. It's strange, bizarre, and captivating. It's creepy, endearing, funny, and a complete mind bender. Still, some of the show is too weird even for me, but I really do want a 4th season just to see where Lynch can take things. So here's to hoping we get more from Lynch and Frost."

"This show is so fun but I can’t help but feel sadness for the host (while he downs a 5lb bucket of ice cream). Hope they’re monitoring his health... otherwise that’s one hell of a Worker’s Comp."

"It's aged a bit and the Triffids do look a bit like Daffodils ... nevertheless it's one of my all time favourites. The part at the start when everyone goes blind is still harrowing. Even the title music is genuinely unsettling.

Possibly because it came out when I was a kid I still prefer this version to the newer one the BBC did a few years back - even if that did have Eddie Izzard."

"Midnight Mass is one of the best shows I have seen in a long long time. Mike Flanagan is a genius. I really hope that they will continue to work together. What a show. What an original idea. Extremely well acted. Especially Samantha Sloyan was suuuperb."

"Legion's amazingly non-conformist for entertainment. was blown away when they brought in Superorganism for a musical cameo."

"Bingo, probably one of the weirder shows I’ve seen but I’m definitely surprised how much I liked it."

"Was like a scary drug trip in some parts - especially the Carol Channing parts."

"For a while now I've been looking at how movie monsters and horror tropes cross over to dramatic / serialized television. The one thing I've noticed is that so much of this goes back to the 1960s, most specifically to a soap opera called Dark Shadows. This show featured a little bit of everything including vampires, ghosts, witches, and even werewolves (and these are just the tip of the iceberg). Sure, the show could be campy at times, but even modern shows with supernatural drama indulge in camp every once and a while. My interest in the show has grown to the point I'm now collecting the DVD sets featuring the show's 1,225 episodes (I'm now on Collection 11 and in the process of getting the next three)."

"Classic TV horror at its best, arguably better than a lot of horror at the time. A lot of before they were stars and some big name a listers involved on episodes either in front of or behind the camera. It's one of those things that I want them to bring it back just because I feel we can get more stories told but at the same time it without the Crypt Keeper and John Kassir and his cackle, I don't know if it would be the same show."

"Here's a list of the addictions they've had so far:

Diaper Wearing/Acting like a Baby Eating Dryer Sheets Sniffing Gasoline Teddy Bear Obsession (had a dozen Teddy Bears and treated them as her children) Eating Rocks (rocks. ROCKS!) Eating Plastic Pillow Obsession Bathes in Bleach (COME ON!!) Carrying her Husbands Urn and..wait for it....wait..EATING HIS ASHES!!!!!!! Pet Rat Obsession Obsessed with her Fingernails (really long, won't cut them. Meh.) Eating Drywall Obsessed with Pulling Hair out of Shower Drains and Playing with it. Cycling Searching and Stuffing Animals."

"I had never heard of this show in my life until about a month ago. Its a British comedy that ran from 2003 - 2007. I found the humor to be universal, not necessarily "British" which I sometime have a hard time understanding as an American.

It is an awesome mix of music, comedy, and genuine absurdity. I also think this show was a huge inspiration for later shows like "Flight of the Conchords".

Having just watched all 3 seasons, I can genuinely say it is one of the funniest, most original, and most creative shows I have ever seen.

It definitely has a very specific type of absurd humor that some people may not get, but I certainly did!!! There has to be other people like me out there so give this show a shot!"

"It is the funniest thing I’ve ever watched. The premise that ghosts have nothing better to do than cryptically communicate with doughy goateed Americans who take themselves outrageously seriously is brilliant."

"I own the DVDs of Lexx, but I've not watched them yet for a more fresh memory.

I just remember watching it anytime it was on, as a kid, and that it had some wild episodes. A planet where a bunch of heads are watching television, and killing people who don't perform well enough? An episode where they just all have s** constantly? A ton of "solve this problem" stuff like a normal Star Trek, but in their own weird way. It was always so bizarre.

As a kid, it felt like you were getting away with something. The whole show felt like it was always on the verge of breaking out into a late-night Skinemax show, but it never did. It was just weird sci-fi."

"The show normally airs at around 3-4am which is known to be “the witching hour”. It is only fitting because some of the “disturbing” s**t they put in there could really give a dude nightmares. Dave firmly believes that TV shows really DO effect how people dream, and mentioned something about it giving people nightmares, especially the kids who fall asleep watching Cartoon Network. It sounds cruel when typing it here on reddit, but it’s all just to be funny, really. Not that kids remember most of their dreams, anyways. It’s also no secret Adult Swim will show bumpers that scare kids from watching late at night... and yes. The show is totally inspired by acid trips. Though I would not recommend watching while tripping...."
