Tikibar TV
By now just about everyone has heard of the cocktail-swilling exploits of Dr Tiki, Lala and Johnny Johnny. If, for some reason, you haven't seen any of Tikibar TV yet, imagine a home movie made by professional film makers who've been drinking cocktails for the better part of the evening.
There's something about the show that reminds me of cabaret or the best variety TV (yes, there is such a thing, especially here in Japan where it seems 99.9 per cent of the content is highly-produced variety). The show has a kind of inspired sillyness that's hard not to like, and for those of you who love homage (hey, who doesn't?) the show is packed with none-too-subtle references to classic films.
My favorite episode so far would have to be Drinkbot, closely followed by Snake.
