Films and TV shows in films and TV shows

[hitmouse]

I imagine this thread may well have been done already, but can't see any obvious contenders. Anyway, obviously you have a fair amount of film and tv that's directly about film and tv, your Networks and Thirty Rocks and Bojack Horsemans (Horsemen?) and so on. And often they're great, but was thinking more of stuff that's just there in the background as part of a fictional world. Stuff like Invitation to Love, Los Dias y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez, Sick Sad World, Society Tomorrow, Thunder Gun and indeed Terrance & Phillip, Itchy & Scratchy, etc etc. Anyway, what are your favourite films and tv programmes that don't exist?
Oh, just seen this, which looks like a pretty massive listing:

Nestflix

A platform for fictional films and shows within other films and shows.

[Orang Utan]

The Muted Heart in Seinfeld

 

[mojo pixy]

Itchy and Scratchy

 

[krtek a houby]

That daytime soap in Twin Peaks and the kids show that continuously cropped up on Brookside.

There’s tonnes in Rick and Morty, because they’re always watching multidimensional cable. I enjoyed this season’s “Cake or Fake”, where they cut into what may be a sentient talking cake or, alternatively, a real person.

Oh yeah, not caught up with the new season but the original multidimensional cable episode is possibly my favourite one?

ATN in Succession with its rolling news headlines:

I smiled at her by the photocopier. Now I’m facing chemical castration.
Gender fluid illegals may be entering the country ‘twice’.
Why are so many of our older celebrities dying?
China hack could see 40M Americans entombed in their electric cars.
Deep state blunder: classified docs displayed on NBA jumbotron.

Movies that you didn't see because they don't exist

Do you have any favourites? For instance, I reckon that if Joe Orton had made Up Against It with the Beatles, I reckon I might well quite like it, but unfortunately it doesn't exist and so I have never seen it and have no feelings about it either way. While checking to remember what it was...

if we did books in books we'd be here for ever...

I have sometimes been tempted to set my tagline as "Is every Taylor Swift lyric secretly Marxist?" Although I think that one's from a website headline.

 

[May Kasahara]

Robocop: "I'll buy that for a dollar!"

And Bastard Squad from The Young Ones.

 

[krtek a houby]

The Magic Rabbits!

Terry was always watching it.

And Mick's kids.

And Barry had a compromising video of Penny swapped for it in a Sizzler storyline, iirc.

I was going to suggest Friends' Joey Tribbiani's role as Drake Ramore in Days Of Our Lives, but apparently it's a real show (but not a real character). He did also have other roles in other shows - Mac & C.H.E.E.S.E. is the only one I can remember - pretty sure that's not real, but daren't check

That's what I came here to post.

 

[skyscraper101]

Climbing for dollars. Featured in the movie ‘The Running Man’ - I’d love to see this on TV. Maybe with attention seeking dickheads like Nigel Farage as contestants.

There's also the esteemed Skirmish, the military-based general knowledge quiz show, on digital channel UK Conquest, which had the largest audience share for a digital channel at that time of day, in the Norfolk area, with up to 8000 viewers at its peak!
