TechTV
TechTV was an American cable television channel with a focus on technology. It was launched as ZDTV on May 11, 1998, by computer magazine publisher Ziff Davis, Ziff-Davis following two short-lived technology-based programs by the company. Initially targeting tech enthusiasts with programming including ''The Screen Savers'', ''Call for Help'' and ''GameSpot TV'' (later named ''Extended Play'' and then ''Xplay, X-Play''), it aimed to report and inform on computers and the internet during the dot-com bubble. In 2000, ZDTV was sold to Vulcan Ventures, owned by Paul Allen, and rebranded as TechTV. As the dot-com bubble burst, the network shifted toward broader tech-related content such as gaming and pop culture. The anime programming block Anime Unleashed premiered during this time, as well as a late-night block on which the revamped ''X-Play'' debuted. Although the network had a reach of 43 million homes, its ratings remained scant. Facing ongoing operating losses and the growth o ...

Off The Air (TV Series)
''Off the Air'' is an American psychedelic anthology television series created by Dave Hughes for Adult Swim. The series is presented without explanation or narration as a showcase of surreal footage arranged around a single loose theme (expressed in the episode title) and blended without pause into a single continuous presentation. The series premiered on Adult Swim on January 1, 2011, 4:00 am New Year's Day. Hughes is a former employee of MTV Animation who first pitched it to Mike Lazzo at Adult Swim after producing a video mixtape for the network's 2010 ''Carnival Tour'' event.

The series has aired 52 episodes and 3 specials over the course of 14 seasons, including two episodes, "Technology" (by Wham City) and "Paradise" (by Ghosting.tv), that Adul ...

Wedgies (Cartoon Network)
Cartoon Network is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is part of The Cartoon Network, Inc. unit of the Warner Bros. Discovery Networks division of Warner Bros. Discovery which primarily focuses on animated programs. 1986–1992: Development On March 25, 1986, Ted Turner's Turner Broadcasting System acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists from Kirk Kerkorian.

The pre-May 1986 MGM library also included animated shorts from United Artists' acquisition of Associated Artists Productions. In 1991, Turner acquired Hanna-B ...

Shorty McShorts' Shorts
''Shorty McShorts' Shorts'' is an American animated anthology short series, which consisted of 4-/5-minute shorts. It aired from July 28, 2006, to May 25, 2007. Summary Initially conceived as a short pilot program for Disney TV Animation, produced by John Solomon and Carolyn Suzuki. The host of the show is Shorty McShorts. His name is often shortened to "Shorty" or "SMS", which appears on the hat that he wears. He also wears blue shorts and is the train conductor for his own Short Line. He appeared in advertisements for the show, the introduction, and conclusion of each short, but never appears in any short. The show takes the form of a Saturday-morning cartoon, as the shorts that are shown could very well be installments of their own mini-series. ''The Boyz on Da Run'' shorts appear in a certain order and have three episodes attached as a miniseries, with a fourth one that never appeared on TV. The other episodes do belong to their own miniseries, but the way the shorts are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
