I remember watching this show with my brother when we were little, and we thought it was hilarious, although I'm sure a lot of stuff went over our heads. To this day I always recall a journal entry my brother had to write when he was in grade 2, and it said something like, "My favourite TV show is Bizarre." lol, what must his teacher have thought! I don't remember that much about it, but I do recall the silent t-shirt sketches, where John Byner and a woman would take off layers of shirts revealing their "conversation" ironed on in letters. I remember my mom telling us that in the US, these sketches would end up with bare breasts, but here in Canada we didn't get to see that. I wasn't sure it was true, but reading all these posts here about nude bits, I guess it was! The other sketch I remember had something to do with John Byner down in a hole wearing fake legs so it looked like he was doing crazy pretzel yoga, and farting (prime stuff when you're nine years old!), and of course I remember Super Dave Osbourne.
