The Mighty Boosh aren't psychedelic enough (or, at all) and Sesame Street has left British TV. It stinks. What can fill the void? Well, parents of pre-schoolers have been keeping a show all to themselves and not letting on to those of us who need The Weird. So step forward Yo Gabba Gabba, quite possibly the finest thing showing on the television right now...

You may have seen Friday Night With Jonathan Ross at the weekend and thrilled at the great clip of Elmo and Ricky Gervais. It featured all manner of adult themed fun as well as Elmo totally holding his own against a man who has a habit of being intensely irritating at times (although, on his game, he's almost unmatchable). Should you have missed the clip, you'll be glad to know you can find it over the jump and seriously, you really should watch it. It's a ray of sunshine in the face of the imminent cold snap!

If you live in London, you've invariably talked about nothing but the weather. I gather you've had a little rain? Rain makes you miserable doesn't it? Well, it's Friday and that should cheer you up slightly. If you want even more cheer, then I suggest clicking over the jump to see a bunch of naked men dancing on Sweden's Got Talent. Obviously, that's mainly aimed at women and gay men... but even straight blokes should find this fun. Let's put it this way, it pisses all over that rubbish Stavros Flatley nonsense from Britain's Got Talent.

If you watched Michael Jackson's Memorial yesterday, you may well still be reeling. It was an incredibly surreal couple of hours. There was singing and dancing and tears and tributes and... all vanishes into insignificance when, toward the close of the show, the weirdest human I've ever seen appeared on screen. There's a good chance you probably yelled "ARGH!" or "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU?!" Here's a video of him for those that want to relive or catch-on.

What a crock of bum crack. I saw this just now and it made me laugh out loud. I know people are very upset over the passing of their idol and are trying to hold on to anything they possibly can, but this is just ridiculouos. Some bright interweb spark spotted, during a tour of the singer's Neverland mansion on CNN's Larry King show, a 'ghostly' figure in the bedroom. Ghostly figure? Erm, no, I don't think so. For a start, it wasn't moonwalking. Have a look at the clip after the jump.

The whole 'Before They Were Famous' things that are bandied around are cheap, opportunistic pieces of tat designed to gloat at the rubbish things people did before they started making a big splash and proper wages. Of course, this article is no different. It's okay, you can all hunt my name on Google and laugh at the crap I've written for. In fairness, this is quite sweet. Get over the jump to see a video of Armstrong and Miller, featuring Tony Gardner, on You Bet! doing a challenge with Matthew Kelly. It's actually quite fun.

Seems ages away, doesn't it, 2 July? But it's not! That's this Thursday! Where's the year gone, eh? Though it's probably our fault - we keep wishing the time away until next Thursday to see Psychoville... what I particularly love about the show is that the (possible) murder mystery storyline is just as strong as the comedy; I don't just tune for a laugh (and to be quite disturbed) but because I genuinely want to know what will happen next. And in that spirit, there's a clip of the next episode over the cut - David's in drag and don't worry, no spoilers...

Heroes has been struggling of late (check the news that Bryan Fuller, the man credited for its improvements last series, has now left the show), so it's clear that the producers of the show are going a bit Twin Peaks and going for the surreal angle. So here's a sneaky peaky which has obviously been leaked because it's clearly true, of Sylar (Zachary Quinto) falling flat on his face with a dog, a giant pork chop and a butcher covered in blood. New characters in the next series? What an exclusive this is!

A lot of people were a bit worried when Bill Oddie announced he was leaving Springwatch. Chris Packham, formerly of The Really Wild Show, came to fill the beard shaped void and, for most people, he's doing a rather splendid job indeed. You see, Springwatch has always had a good sense of humour and a penchant for the ridiculous. So when everyone rumbled that Packham had been sneaking song titles from The Smiths into his script, the show - justly - got loads of publicity. He's brought more rock 'n' roll that mere Smiths songs, sporting t-shirt that display his love for Jesus and Mary Chain, and a rather sweet 'Rockaway Beach' tee, which is a track by The Ramones about a sewage pipe. Anyway, if you'd like to see a compilation of all of Packham's Smiths references, click over. It is fun... and that's what TV is supposed to be about.

Live TV is notoriously full of pitfalls. I mean, you're out on a limb, staring down the barrel of a gun whilst trying to keep anyone who has tuned in entertained enough to avoid skipping the channel. A producer yells in your ear, you have to sit 'just so', you have to think of a million things at once and, ironically, what comes out of your mouth is probably last on the list. Well, poor old Adam Boulton, Sky News anchor, got his brain and tongue in a twist when reading the autocue for a link to the day's news stories. Click over to see what I mean...

Thus far, Big Brother 10 has been erring on the side of pleasant. Everyone is still being kinda nice to each other as BB has refused to stick the thumb-screws on and start hiding people's smokes and ration their food. Of course, we all know what a pressure cooker the Big Brother house is... especially if the only pressure you've faced prior is akin to the hairdressers being shut or the offie has run out of WKDs. There's been a few fist-fights around the BB world, which will either shock you, or alternatively, please you that some reality chump is getting teeth knocked out. If you'd like to see the best BB punch-ups, click over.

TV can be brilliant. It can move you to tears with beautifully shot documentaries... it can stir your brain with incredible and grisly war footage... it can break your heart with fine drama... it can also baffle your turds into a plait. One such event, which I somehow missed first time around, was sent to me by a mate (he's called Ed Kluz and his dad is a newsreader... true story) who said that a clip had got him crossing his legs with laughter and slight painful embarrassment. It's Cilla Black, on Surprise Surprise, at some boxing club with a bunch of errors, dressed up in full boxing gear, punching people and singing 'The Eye of the Tiger' from the Rocky films. Don't believe me? Click over the jump and watch the video.

There's a new show coming to Virgin 1, which is about to rebrand itself as a proper freeview channel as opposed to the thing we get a couple of crappy hours of, which is what we get at the minute. Anyway, as part of the new relaunch... or reimagining... or whatever you want to call it, it's getting a new comedy show called The Life and Times of Tim, which has been imported from ace US network HBO. Starting in two weeks, the show will delve into the weird and awkward world of Tim, which lies somewhere between Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Office. It's an animated effort and there's videos over the jump for you to suck it and see. We'll be interviewing the creator of the show, Steve Dildarian, next week.

Sounds a bit lame doesn't it? A video of TV production company idents. Wait a minute, come back here you great lump. You see, you might not realise it, but some idents can make a whole host of brilliant memories come flooding back. In fact. some of the animated logos were even better than the shows they produced. I mean, Stephen J. Cannell Productions may not mean a damn thing to you, but when I say that, when you'd finished watching The A-Team, and a guy was sat at a typewriter and flung a piece of paper which turned into a production logo, you cogs may well start to rattle. Click over the jump to see some famous, and some not-so-famous-but-incredibly-lovely spots that will fill you with fuzzy glee. This could well be the finest video you see all year... and so simple.

With The Apprentice trundling on at full creak, I thought I'd direct your attentions to a fun little video that I stumbled across (ie stole from a Twitter link from MissCay) which made me smile. In essence, Alan Sugar's various ramblings (which are often quite surreal) have been hacked up and pieced back together in a way that is often very odd and occasionally, very very sarcastic. Obviously, I like it a lot! Click over the jump to watch it.

After last week's Bauhaus-fest it seems the writers and producers may be getting a little fixated on one artist each week in this second series, as last night's episode featured three tracks either exclusively Bowie or at least featuring him singing. Although the track list looks as long as in previous weeks it felt like there were long interludes in the programme with no music at all, which is at the least a lost opportunity to showcase some great music. It's rapidly becoming one of the only reasons I'm still watching the show.

The Simpsons. Not as funny as it used to be... waaaaah waaaaah. That's all you ever hear from you lot these days. Even when The Simpsons is at its worst, it's still one of the funniest things on the box. Of course, the show has always been able to pull something out of the bag in lean times... and this time it's Maggie. Yessir, Maggie Simpson has finally spoken her first coherent sentence! Weirder still, is that she's voiced by Jodie Foster! Who would have guessed that? Anyway, if you'd like to see Maggie's moment in the spotlight, click over the jump and see her turn...

It was a bumper night for Bauhaus fans on Ashes to Ashes last night with not one, not two, but FOUR tracks gracing the background as the team smoked, drank and fought their way through another episode. With them making up almost half of all the music on the show it would have been unthinkable not to choose one of these to feature in our YouTube selection this week, so click through for that and another well-chosen couple of nostalgic ear-worms from the 80s.
