hooligan x Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows Blue mentioned Smile Time. What about Cordy!. Not only fictional, but an alternate reality to the Angel universe (and she gets to work with that Cordelia Chase chick who is so damn fine!)

Magmarock Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows How about Deep Powder, the night time drama that Joey Tribbiani stars in on Joey? Does that count? I think the soap he used to work on (during the early part of Friends) was one of the real-life soaps, I just can't remember which one.

Chris Goodwin Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows This one's fairly obscure. Hello Joe, Whaddya Know. Appearing first in J. Neil Schulman's novel Alongside Night and later in L. Neil Smith's novel The Nagasaki Vector, Joe concerned a sapient gorilla who also happened to be a philosophy professor at the (meta-)fictional Gazpacho U.

shadowcat1313 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows also from Monty Python was the game show "How Not to be Seen" where the contestants were trying to camouflage themselves and they kept blowing up suspicious shrubbery I dont remember what fiction this came from but something called "If You can catch it you can keep it" where things were tossed from the top of a building to constestants on the ground around it, so tossing that refrigerator off the building might not just kill the contestant depending on the universe the Groucho Marx classic "You bet your life" could take on a whole new meaning for that matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starblaze Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows The Max Payne console games had some T.V. shows in it. One was Lords and Ladies which was a medievel soap opera, ala harlequin romance type show. Another was Captain Baseball BatBoy a kids cartoon, and something called Address Unknown (I think) which was supposed be a Nowhere Man type spoof. Also don't forget that the Champions Universe has a superhero soap opera called To Save The World, starring Justic Force Omega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows Let's see, there was The Alan Brady Show. Seems like there should be a lot in The Simpsons, but the Krusty the Clown Show is the only one I can think of. Wasn't there an X Files like show on the X Files? Well, The Bumblebee Man has a show on Chanel Ocho...but thay never said it's name (or if thay did, it was always in spanish). That was from The Simpsons. And thay did do an epasold of the X-Files as an epasold of the real life show COPS (including the "Bad Boys" begining). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows Not completley fiction but how about CSI: Millenium City Try CSI: Hudson City. "Sir...we found a wairhouse full of creats of illegal drugs, and twenty five dead people, all shot to death with a single bullet to the head. Looks like the work of the Full Moon Killer to me." Also try... Law And Order: Metahuman Crime Division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlHazred Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows I can't believe noone's mentioned Pleasantville, yet!

Susano Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows I can't believe noone's mentioned Pleasantville, yet! How about THE TRUMAN SHOW? For the record, here are the TV shows I missed from V FOR VENDETTA. "Storm Saxon" (SF action-adventure) "You Have To Laugh" (sitcom) "Interface" (investigative news) Oh, and on the darker side you have "Battle Royale" (from the manga of the same name), where a high school class is stuck on an island until only one is left alive. While the concept may not work as described, the name could be used for any physically demanding mock-combat game show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamashii2000 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Re: Fake TV-Shows Not from any tv series but from 'another superhero game' Nova Powers (A documentory on the Ntv network (aberrant)) The New Gods:Humanity's next step (Talk show (aberrant)) Week in Perspective with Walter Donovan (Political talk show aimed at superheros (ditto)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
