lost treasure

Strange enough, this edgy show came around the same time when there was a move to clean up "trash television," which lead a few talk shows getting canceled. "Night Stand" was a comedy mocking scandalous talk shows of the day: Charles Perez, Geraldo, Jerry Springer, Richard Bey, Rikki Lake, and the like. Timothy Stack's alter ego Dick Dietrick is a likable jerk who embraces sleaziness.

Originally airing in first-run syndication, "Night Stand" never lasted long. It did get a slot on on the cable channel E!, which is also known for its edginess. But then it disappeared from television permanently......
