YouTube video by alberto valenzuela Que Pasa, USA Episode One

¿Qué Pasa USA? is to my knowledge the only sitcom produced by and for PBS (not counting the many British and Canadian comedies they've aired over the decades).

The Cuban-American immigrant Peña family adjust to their new life in Miami on this well-reviewed bilingual show that ran from 1977-1980.

YouTube video by CIevverMovies Adult Swim - Saved By The Bell Bumpers

Long before Eric Andre and On Cinema, Adult Swim's first live-action show was reruns of Saved by the Bell for April Fools 2006.

They only aired SBTB for two weeks, but the bumpers they created are surrealist and unsettling even by [as] standards.

Found a review of the unaired pilot (which has never been released) and all I gotta say is...yikes.

I'm starting to get the idea that this Elmo Mist guy might be a neo-Nazi

YouTube video by Desmond Pfeiffer The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer - 1 - A.O.L. - Abe on-line

1st ep of Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer - 1998 sitcom set in Lincoln's White House.

The real 1st ep never aired, since test audiences didn't like the fact that Desmond (the butler) was originally a slave. Yes, really.

Instead we got a parody of the Clinton sex scandal, ft. a not-so-honest Abe.

YouTube video by Travis Moss Juiced with O.J Simpson (2006)

OJ Simpson hosted a one-off prank show in 2006 (long after the murders) called 'Juiced'. Inspired by Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd, the punchline of every 'prank' was "omg it's OJ". Come for the pranks, stay to watch OJ rapping while surrounded by a naked harem of women who look exactly like his ex wife.

Scott Baio and Mystro Clark starred in 'Rewind' in 1997. The two adult business professionals would have 'flashbacks' to their youth in the 70s. Supposedly several episodes were made, but only this promo aired. If the visuals seem familiar, they should. 'That 70s Show' aired one year later on Fox.
