Kenny vs. Spenny (2002)
Amazing Show! and the Drama continues even to this day on Youtube!
By far the most unique reality show ever produced, Kenny vs Spenny stands out in the realm of television comedy.
Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice, two lifelong "best friends," battle in weekly competitions (spanning 88 episodes) with the loser having to face a humiliating act chosen by the winner. This aired on the Showcase network in Canada but had difficulty finding a lasting home in the U. S., where both the Gameshow Network and Comedy Central dropped it after a single season.
Kenny's relentless cheating, lying, and strategic genius often lead him to victory in about 70% of the competitions, turning Spenny's humiliations into a near-weekly spectacle. A must-see for anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation for offbeat comedy.
My personal favorites include "First One to Talk Loses," "Who Can Wear a Dead Octopus on Their Head the Longest?," "Who Is Funnier?," "Who Can Smoke More Weed?," and "Who Can Commit More Crime?". However, starting with the first season is a great idea for newcomers as you can witness Kenny gradually breaking Spenny's spirit throughout the series.
Basically, Kenny vs Spenny is about two best friends with radically differing personalities competing against each other for the glory of winning. And for the loser? Humiliation.
This show is without a doubt the most entertaining character study I have ever seen. Kenny is an over-the-top, narcissistic strategist, while Spenny is the neurotic, helpless do-gooder aiming to be the fair, moral competitor to highlight Kenny's wrongdoings. The clash of their personalities absolutely makes this show. Watching them bicker, fight, and drive each other crazy is endlessly entertaining.
Kenny almost always cheats, but credit must be given to Spenny for withstanding the torment week after week and for genuinely trying to compete. Some of Kenny's devious plans are just mind-blowing. From the seemingly tame ("Who Is the Better Actor?") to the downright bizarre ("Who Can Wear a Dead Octopus on Their Head the Longest?"), the competitions are always engaging.
Kenny vs Spenny is immature, stupid, and awesome. I've watched every single episode and love them all. Kenny is something of a real-life Eric Cartman, a comedic evil genius, while Spenny is his polar opposite, making you wonder how they ended up as 'best friends'. It's not really fair how Kenny is always set on destroying Spenny, so when Spenny actually wins, you can't help but feel happy for him. The show might sometimes seem scripted, but their lives are likely as weird and crazy as portrayed.
It isn't for everyone, but if you can find humor in the gross, immature, and sometimes offensive, then this show is perfect for you. I consider it one of the best comedy television series ever aired and absolutely the best reality show. It's original, clever, and most importantly, hilarious. The chemistry between Kenny and Spenny is a match made in heaven (or maybe hell). Kenny is devious, gross, and clever. Spenny is gullible, angry, and honest (most of the time). They are a comic duo without equal.
I've been watching this show repeatedly for years. Kenny vs Spenny has episodes later in the series where ideas spawned much earlier come to fruition in brilliantly absurd ways. The comedic seeds sown early on deliver uproarious laughter years later.
For fans of comedy, Kenny vs Spenny is a must-watch. Start with a few episodes from season one, then buckle up for a wild ride through some of the most innovative and entertaining comedy you'll ever experience. Enjoy!
Testees (2008)
Good Show But could have been KvS S7
As a Kenny vs. Spenny fan, I of course had to watch this.
Kenny Hotz's passion project, Testees, could have been Kenny vs. Spenny Season 7, but instead, he got a chance to make this unique series. The premise alone is intriguing: two no-lifes becoming test subjects for a crazy company called Testico. It brings to mind the quirky humor of shows like Better Off Ted.
I really like the concept of the series-it's great-but the plot and overall execution are good at best. While the scenarios are often hilarious and outrageous, the episodic nature sometimes leads to uneven storytelling. There are moments of brilliance, but also parts that feel underdeveloped.
Jeff Kassel and Steve Markle did a great job acting in this series. Their chemistry and comedic timing elevate the material, making even the most absurd situations entertaining. Their ability to fully commit to their roles adds a layer of authenticity to the offbeat humor.
Despite its flaws, Testees is a fun watch, especially for fans of Kenny Hotz's unique brand of comedy. It's a wild ride through bizarre experiments and absurd situations, showcasing Hotz's distinctive voice in the world of comedy.
Overall, Testees is a solid effort with a great concept, some genuinely funny moments, and strong performances from its leads. It's a shame it didn't get more attention, as it had the potential to become a cult classic.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Bad Trek! Star Trek: Michael Burnham!
I heard that when Discovery was first pitched the concept was an anthology series following a different crew every season.
But what we got was just an awful chaotic and very messy show.
Star Trek Discovery messed, changed and retconned so much long(55+yrs) established canon.
And then there is the weird whispering, out of place drama, dark but flashy surroundings, the many cringy moments, THE KLINGONS, weird romances, they have made a Star Trek into a soap in Space.
Having been a star trek die hard fan since voyager and DS9 aired and having invested alot of time and money in the community and on merch my conclusion of Discovery is that it is Bad and Should Not have existed.
Like so many other here, I have tried and watched and rewatched all the episodes but even after the fourth time my conclusion still stands.

Dream Corp LLC (2016)
The world needs more shows like this
To give it a 10 it would need to have atleast 20min episodes and a stronger running plot.
