| Time for a new Mindfuck-topic! And this time, I want to read and make a list about TV-Shows, that blasted your mind, that fucked up your brains, and where you said every second while watching "WTF is that shit!?" And like the Mindfuck-Games, there are some points, that I would like to be informed of: - Name of the shows - Genre (beside "Mindfuck") - What's the show about? - How many episodes and seasons? - Is it finished or still producing? - And last but not least: Why is it Mindfuck? And some points, that aren't that important but maybe interesting: - Characters - Actors (or voice-actors) - Awards and nominations - and other facts... PS: I don't mind, if you list shows, that you only can see in the internet (like flash-animated), but I don't want to see something like "Abridged series" or the like, and a link to this shows (only internet-shows!) would be nice. Have fun! |

| 1)Name of the shows: "Life on Mars"(advised british version only). 2)Genre: police drama. 3)What's the show about? About a modern cop(Sam Tyler) who was badly hit by the car and somehow "traveled" in space/time to 1973. Where he has a legitimate identity and is still a cop. So he's trying to figure out what the hell has happened and solving some cases(police procedure) in the meanwhile. 4)How many episodes and seasons? 16 episodes divided into 2 seasons. 5)Is it finished or still producing? Finished. 6)And last but not least: Why is it Mindfuck? Cause it's not really clear if a protagonist actually went to the past, or he just in coma(and just made this "world" himself) because of a trauma. To make things worse Sam has visions and hallucinations. Sometimes the are really freakish(little girl with a clown - totally blows your mind). And of course in the end of the series you ARE having mind-blowing plot turns. The end is absolutely EPIC. For those who liked it there's a "sequel"(it has same characters, the plot is barely related) "Ashes to Ashes". It's also hot for mindfuck&freak stuff. Especially the last ep of the first season(S01E08), that's just as weird as they come. PS. Nice club btw. |

| Show: Courage the Cowardly Dog Genre: Dark comedy, horror About: Courage the Cowardly Dog revolves around the exploits of Courage, a small, pink/purple (while in dark) dog who, despite his name, is ironically afraid of the most mundane things. His fears are normally justified, however, as Eustace, Muriel, and Courage are constantly attacked by (or running into) various monsters, aliens, villains, curses, experiments, natural disasters, and other forms of peril that Courage must face and do whatever it takes to keep Muriel, Eustace, and himself safe. Seasons/Episodes: 4 seasons, 52 episodes Finished or still producing: Finished Why?: Shit man, that show scared the hell out me when I was a kid. It was aired on such a child-friendly channel (I does not has Cartoon Network as a channel), yet it was so fucked up. |
| I've just finished 2nd season "Ashes to Ashes". It is seriously wicked(and great), it is. There will be final, 3rd season in 2010. |

slenderfall said: Nope, I've seen couple of eps(there is only US version of "LoM") and that was it)) The style, the atmosphere was totally lost i think.I did not know there was a US version was it any good ? And I just can't imagine anyone in Sam Tylor's boots exept John Simm. |

| I'm surprised no one has done this one already o_o Show name: Invader Zim Genre: comedy, Horror-ish, Sci-fi Basically, it's about an alien named Zim from the planet Irk that tries to destroy the earth. Of course, he never does because his plans are always ruined by his own mistakes, his robot named GIR, or his enemy Dib. *according to Wikipedia* there are 2 seasons and 27 episodes. -Finished airing Anyone who has saw the show should know why it is considered mindf**k O_o it uses lots of black comedy that scared the crap out of me sometimes. For example, Zim stole organs from people in his school and put them in his own body until they were spilling out of his mouth! Lots of crazy/scary things happen, but that's why it was Nick's best show. |
| How'd dexter get on this list? Love the show but i dont see it as a mindfuck /: Kutos to whoever put up Twin Peaks tho |

| My favorite mindfuck tv series are Ally McBeal (mind trips & hallucinations galore), Scrubs (also mind trips a go-go), Life On Mars (good mindfuck throughout), X Files (many episodes do include mind screwing elements), and The Prisoner (massive mindfuck). Lost, Doll House, Flash Forward, and Eli Stone are mindfuck too, but I didn't like them. |
