This just started airing on Sci-Fi a few weeks ago. It's a British comedy from 2004 that manages to spoof hospital dramas, Stephen King, and 80s TV shows all in one fell swoop. It's full of intentionally awful dialogue, horrible acting and embarassing special effects - it's like someone intentionally created a movie to use on MST3K. You can watch the first episode here. It's worth it just for the priceless theme song - the rest of the music is full of cheesy synth that's impossible catchy. www.scifi.com/darkplace/Like most British shows, it's incredibly short-lived (six eps total) and unfortunatley not all of them are great. The first two eps are golden. The third is meh, and the fourth is only OK, saved the bike chase scene involving a man in an ape suit. You can find torrents of the eps lying around the 'net too.

I adored the first episode, but the fact that I have to choose between internet and cable, through a lengthy process of screwing and unscrewing wires means I go with internet most of the time, and was therefore unable to catch the second one.
Amazing Screw-On Head was great as well, but lord knows if they will even attempt to make a second episode of that.
