Friends,
TV Tunes Online is a free site for the public done with a love of the
subject matter. Fans of classic TV can enjoy our content freely and we
hope it brings a pleasant nostalgia. That being said, the site is a
beast that requires feeding or it will die. Hosting, license, and
content fees are, after 13 years online, impossible to keep up with any
longer. We hope
you'll see value in our little site and, if so, that you'll contribute to
help us keep
it online. We humbly and gratefully accept donations of any size to keep
our little site online. Can you help?

Unseen by Most
With
a tip of the hat to shows like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and
even Night Gallery, the horror anthology television series "Tales
from the Darkside" explored the macabre, the fantastic and the
strange. Created on the heels of the moderately successful motion
picture Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside continued the creepy and
sometimes bizarre plot lines. Steeped in the tradition of 1950's horror
comics like The Vault of Horror and Tales from the Crypt, this series
featured story adaptations from such writers as Harlan Ellison, Robert
Bloch, George Romero, and Stephen King. Unpredictable stories of noise
eating vacuum cleaners, aliens, Satan, vampires and other creatures of
the night, made this show a fan favorite in the 1980's. With an
unfortunately low budget but a huge cult following, the show explored
horror and twisted supernatural storylines. Tales from the Darkside was
able to attract several notable actors for roles in the series. Actors
like Darren McGavin, Phyllis Diller, Jerry Stiller, Marcia Cross and
Harry Anderson.

News:
Harold and Kumar
Go to
Adult Swim
05/17/12 Harold and Kumar have been to White Castle and
Guantanamo Bay. Now they're going to Adult Swim. Adult Swim is
developing an animated project based on the "Harold & Kumar" movies. The
project, which currently goes under the moniker "Untitled Animated
Harold & Kumar Project," is being produced by Lionsgate. The network has
also given the go-ahead to a pilot from "Community" creator Dan Harmon.
Titled "Rick & Morty," the half-hour project follows a "genius inventor
grandfather and his less than genius grandson, and the journeys in life
they share." Other pilots given the nod by Adult Swim include "Colonel
Wallace,'" about an eccentric Southern fried-chicken magnate; "Coffin
Dodgers," which follows the curmudgeonly residents of a suburban
retirement home who "get into Animal House-style trouble"; "Green Bench:
The American Day Dream," about a group of friends with nebulous business
plans; "Freestyle Love Supreme," which centers on a bunch of rapping I.T.
specialists; "King Star King," about "a modern day he-man who's
half-warrior, half-idiot"; and "Rolling With Dad," from Seth
Grahame-Smith of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "The Hard Times
of RJ Berger"'s David Katzenberg. "Rolling With Dad" follows a brilliant
disabled man as he struggles to deal with his much less intelligent
family. |
