  I used to see this show a while back when it aired in the early morning hours. It's definitely a guilty pleasure-type show. It could be very crass and crude, but with all of those popular bawdy talk shows of the time (Jerry Springer, Geraldo Rivera, Ricki Lake), a send-up of those kinds of talk shows was welcome. Of course, "Night Stand" often traveled the same territory as the "real" trash talk shows without satirizing anything, but at least they didn't create explosive situations with real-world guests. All the guests on the show were actors, as was the host, Timothy Stack. What made the show humorous was the use of a real-life audience. They knew this was a "fake" talk show and that all the guests were actors but Timothy Stack and the other actors never stepped out of character. The audience witnessed as Stack's character blundered his way through awkward situation after awkward situation, frequently putting his foot in his mouth. The situations and guests were farcical and over-the-top, and they were supposed to be. I think the show petered out in its 2nd season. (I don't remember if I saw any of those episodes.) But the 1st season was good for some low-brow laughs. You need that once in a while. Timothy Stack went onto appear in some movies and star in another cable series, "Son of the Beach" (which I never saw). I don't know if "Night Stand" has been on the air recently but I wouldn't mind seeing a few episodes again. It has never been released on DVD and it may never be. It probably won't be added to Hulu or any of the other legitimate online streaming video websites. I don't think it's on Amazon Unbox Video or iTunes either. Are there are stations, big or small, that air repeats of "Night Stand"?less «

  10 Perfect

  I used to love that show! hide « show »

  That was my favourite show in the whole world when it was running and I was in my late teens. I've not seen it in years now, so I dont know if the humour might be a bit broad for me these days but I would love to see it again. OK, the review has to be a minimum of 100 words apparently so I'm just typing in order to hit the 100 word count now.....
  
  yeah, i googled "night stand" recently and saw that someone had an ebay listing for every episode of nightstand on a DVD but when i clicked the link to ebay they'd removed the listing for violating copyright. unfortunate. i would have killed to get hold of that =) and i can't even find out the seller's ebay ID or anything.
  
  ok... that's over 100 words =)

  Do you agree?

  9.7 Superb

  One of the greatest spoof shows of all time. hide « show »

  I would love to see this show aired again or at least be able to get it on DVD...
  It involved the bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla of every other show and made fun of it. If this makes no sense it is because I couldn't post it without typing more than 50 words. Timothy Stack is awesome!
