10. CORDY! (ANGEL)
Cordelia finally got to live out her dream thanks to a wish-granting demon. Unfortunately, this corny single gal in the city sitcom was short lived, as Cordelia soon realized that things weren’t the way they were meant to be.
9. THE VALLEY (THE O.C.)
This fictional soap often broke the fourth wall when it commented directly on the viewer’s criticisms of what was going on in THE O.C.
8. ALL MY CIRCUITS (FUTURAMA)
Starring Calculon (as himself), this silly over the top drama made good use of an already silly genre.
7. EXPOSÉ (LOST)
Seen for the first and only time in a flashback, it gave an interesting glimpse into Nikki and Paulo’s backstory.
6. THE MUPPET SHOW (THE MUPPET SHOW)
Entertaining generations, this variety/sketch show never failed to bring a smile to our faces.
5. TOOL TIME (HOME IMPROVEMENT)
Poor Al! Continuously mocked for his flannel shirts and overweight mother, he definitely deserves the credit for helping Tim guide this home improvement show to success.
4. STUDIO 60 (STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP)
It was often hard to tell that this smartly written SNL-like show was actually fake. With real guest hosts and musical interludes, we almost wish it were real.
3. WORMHOLE X-TREME (STARGATE: SG1)
Wonderfully self-mocking, X-TREME made it very satisfying to watch SG1’s counterparts play exaggerated versions of themselves.
2. COMING ATTRACTIONS (THE CRITIC)
This ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT parody was better than the show itself. From JURASSIC PARK to THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, no movie was off limits to Jay Sherman.
1. ITCHY AND SCRATCHY (THE SIMPSONS)
After 20 years, it’s still a classic. There’s just something funny about a cat and mouse whose sole purpose is to find increasingly clever ways of getting rid of each other.
