There is no purer catnip than behind-the-scenes footage of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, and the rest of the Muppetmakers doing their jaw-dropping best. We give you two contemporaneous pieces to their height of fame with the OG “Muppet Show”: a “60 Minutes” profile from ‘79 and a syndicated special from ‘81 (shot by future cinematography star Roger Deakins).

Our love for Dave, Kevin, Mark, Bruce, and Scott hasn’t waned as we get deeper into the vast amount of Kids In The Hall material. At this halfway point in the show’s run, it maintains the highest batting average of any vintage TV sketch institution. Tonight we revel with Cathy & Kathie, Simon & Hecubus, the Party Kabob Choker, the Suburban Potato Salad Lady, Danny Husk, Buddy Cole and Satan himself. ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC

It’s about time we properly celebrated two of the American counterculture’s greatest heroes. Forever helixed in film history are the dual beacons of director John Waters and his star Divine; they were witty, creative, shocking and assured in equal measure. Their archive of TV talk show appearances is massive, and tonight you just might learn something new about both of them. Vive la dog shit! ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC

PART OF THE OVERLOOK FILM FESTIVAL in NEW ORLEANS, LA

Museum of Home Video is a weekly found-footage livestream for stoners, seekers, archivists, and drinkers. VJ Bret Berg returns once more to Overlook for an IRL version of his show, including a riotous tribute to Donald Pleasance in "The Dr. Loomis Tapes". This is MOHV’s revolutionary new remix of the classic HALLOWEEN slasher franchise, told solely through the eyes of Pleasance’s unstable (and possibly wasted) psychiatric savior. Watch as he gets increasingly unhinged and shattered as the series goes on. Could it be that Loomis is as dangerous to the town of Haddonfield as Michael Myers himself? You be the judge! Also in the program: some special Halloween-twinged vintage game-show moments, and a toothsome CGI surprise.

We reach back into the archives for one of Museum of Home Video’s greatest achievements. In December 2020, when everything about the world was so gravely uncertain (in just a slightly different way than now), we put together a 2+ hour megamix of aesthetically rapturous sights and sounds from one of the UK’s greatest art-pop visionaries. This was originally our “Kate Bush Xmas”…but fuck it, now it’s our Kate Bush Easter. No matter if you’re a diehard fan or haven’t heard a note of Kate’s music, her choreography and unique voice will speak to you. ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC

We reach back into the archives for one of our favorite episodes from the yesteryear of 2022. Back then the days were longer, Bret’s hair was (slightly) shorter, and we had a different studio. The headliner for Ep. #119: a tribute To Jim Bailey, one of the greatest female impersonators of the 20th century. Jim not only nailed 100% accurate impressions of Barbra Streisand, Mae West, Peggy Lee, and Judy Garland, but also fully sang in their styles…truly a marvel!

Ridiculous, bombastic, and crammed full of major-league actors that should’ve known better, FREEJACK set the Nineties cyberpunk genre back decades before it ever really started. Emilio Estevez, Rene Russo, Mick Jagger(!), David Johansen, and Anthony Hopkins bounce off of each other in the future dystopia of 2009(!!). Hopkins is the Musk-ian billionaire without a body, Estevez is the NASCAR driver sucked into the future (!!!), and Jagger is the henchman with the most impenetrable American accent possible. We’re joined by @cyberpunkybrewsterminator in-studio for this special sci-fi occasion.

For the first time in our history, Museum producer Jenny Nixon takes over hosting duties for Bret! This Very Special Episode™ headlines with a laugh-packed mix of daytime TV appearances by Amy Sedaris—specifically focused on segments where she’s cooking or crafting. Seeing Amy’s demented goblin energy butt up against Martha Stewart’s deadpan demeanor as they’re both trying to frost a cake is truly something special. And did you know Wendy Williams is an Amy Sedaris super-stan? Tune in and see for yourself!

The first step of Tom Green’s rise to MTV infamy! From its first frames, Tom’s OG ‘90s public access show announced an original comedic voice from another dimension. His time spent at Canadian cable station Rogers 22 finds Tom’s unique clowning already fully dialed-in. He’s a Brundlefly of influences like Ernie Kovacs, Andy Kaufman, skate videos, and confrontational performance art. It’s quite something to see in its embryonic stage.

Our first of two March takeovers sees longtime viewer/contributor Toby Jones (AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK, “Regular Show”) in the host chair. Toby’s jones for 21st-century digital Americana burns bright, and tonight’s megamixes are often from that POV. Headlining this special is THE ADVENTURES OF R.F. ANT: a nightmarish, kaleidoscopic mixed-media masterpiece that happens to be a Nineties anti-drug PSA from Arkansas. Among tonight’s tapestry of esoteric tastes is Toby’s third (and possibly final??) installment of his “YouTubers' Top 10 Films of the Year” series.

An overflowing pitcher of previously-unaired MTV News behind–the-scenes footage. This stuff was shot on location across the Nineties. Pure pop culture catnip: Cindy Crawford backstage at SNL, Eddie Van Halen chain-smoking in his home studio, Kurt Loder doing the Macarena with Biz Markie, a day in the life on the set of “The State,” and even Queen Latifah showing off the video store she owned!

The great Shirley Hemphill’s TV sitcom legacy didn’t end with the cancellation of “What’s Happening!!” in ‘79.  The very-short-lived “One In A Million” from 1980 gave Shirley another opportunity to shine on the airwaves. Tonight we show the whole pilot! The rags-to-riches premise is she’s an L.A. cabbie who inherits a bazillion-dollar fortune from one of her regular fares: the newly deceased CEO of a multinational corporation.

A big dose of ambiguous bohemian warmth! From the late 1980s up until after Y2K, the “Global Village Coffeehouse” aesthetic was a way for ad agencies and corporate America to snooker the average consumer into thinking their brands were environmentally friendly, somehow artisanal instead of being mass-produced, and mindful of community. Let’s revel in a big batch of TV spots that flaunted the aesthetic in service of fruit juices, online shopping, and piping hot soup from a drinkable can.

ROCKY HORROR, PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, HAIR, XANADU, STARLIGHT EXPRESS, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, and the Eurovision Song Contest all rolled into one. For the past few decades, the whackadoo 1980 musical The Apple has held an iron grip on our imagination. This glammed-out “Adam & Eve”-type tale has everything going for it: coked-out costumes, bonehead lyrics seemingly written by children, amateurish choreography (by the future producer of “American Idol”, no less), an early appearance by Catherine Mary Stewart, and enough silly sci-fi touches for a dozen Star Treks. Tonight, we celebrate this cinematic milestone by mainlining all of the film’s musical numbers.

We close out the year with one of the Museum’s greatest episodes from its 2020 inception! Not only will you get to see Bret with shorter hair (natch), sitting on his front porch, but Ep. #10’s headliner is still one of the freaky-deakiest things we’ve ever aired on the channel. Nothing will prepare you for “The Ugly Little Boy”: a time-travel tale of a Neanderthal thrust into the dystopian future, and the nurse who loves him.
