Monsters (American TV Series)
''Monsters'' is an American syndicated horror anthology series which originally ran from 1988 to 1991 and reran on the Sci-Fi Channel during the 1990s. The series grew out of ''Tales from the Darkside'', the previous project by producer Richard P. Rubinstein and his company Laurel Entertainment.

Synopsis In the show's self-referencing title sequence, a suburban family of monsters look for something to watch on television before finally settling on ''Monsters'', their favorite show.
