Meta Television

The on-screen guide for our TV is organized into half hour segments, meaning that if a show's title is too long, it merges into the next one. The resulting hybrid shows often sound a lot better than what's really on and failure to pay close attention has resulted in disappointment on more than one occasion. Some of my favourites are:
Dickins, George and Heartbeat
European Coke Soldiers
Antiques Enemy
It's me or the Airline
Johnny Cash in the Attic
My name is Filth
Liza and Huey's Pet Crash Test
Perry Mason: Mega Piranha
Hitler's Home Shopping
