Tales from the Darkside appreciation thread

This show is phenomenal if you've never seen it. It's like, every time I watch an episode I haven't seen, it's the new worst thing ever. You can't simply make stuff like this anymore, it basically has to come from the dark recesses of the 80s. Sometimes it's just too painfully bad to watch, but a lot of times it's just hilarious.

But yeah sometimes I see it on the sci-fi channel midday, not always sure when it's on. Here's a clip: the context is, people die whenever this girl says goodbye to them, and her angry soon to be stepfather just had an asthma attack:

When she held her face, I thought that they were going to make out.

I remember as a kid I used to fall asleep to Star Trek or the Honeymooners at night, and when that theme song for Tales from the Darkside would come on I'd wake up with a start.

There's nothing random about it, the sci-fi channel knows exactly when to air shows to maximize overall shittiness. Which is why it's easy to find one of their horrible-in-a-bad-way original movies on at convenient hours, while horrible-in-a-good-way shows like this are on when everyone's working or at school.

so true, they used to play firefly and x-files in this time slot too, but i think they stopped with firefly.
