Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Late Show's 'Bargearse' segments helped pioneer the 'bad TV' remix comedy later perfected by shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Tim and Eric.
The original Bluey (1976) was a genuine attempt at gritty Australian police drama; the D-Generation found it in archives and saw comedy gold in its earnest melodrama.
