Garth Marenghi's Darkplace I'm three episodes in, and it's a masterpiece. Maybe the best TV show ever.

Ahhh! Thanks for reminding me of this. I used to watch this. So funny.

It is the only live action show from the Adult Swim lineup that does not make me want to send rabid howler monkeys to eat the eyeballs of everybody there.

Darkplace's fictional show-within-a-show includes storylines that [...] are "severely flawed and open-ended"

Given the recently published anthologies I have read over the past 3 months, that pretty much describes modern short horror fiction as well.

The show is such a bad version of a show that's so bad that it's good that it's good.

Dark Place is Adult Swim? Awesome, I had no idea. They're going to air The Mighty Boosh too. Now if I could just get someone to show QI in the US, all my TV dreams would all be realized.

Garth is the only author to have written more books than he has read!

For more fun with Garth and his sleazy producer Dean, check out Man to Man, with Dean Learner!
