Weird TV or Weird Television was a programme that aired in 1995 on Canadian late-night TV.
The "host" of the show was Chuck Cirino, who is also one of the show's executive producers along with Todd Stevens (who also produces the hit show "Friends") and Arthur Meturo.
Cirino was the one constant of every show. He pops up in his landcruiser for a few seconds, setting up new segments of the show in his own eccentric way. He is known as the "comfort zone" of the show, as the subtitles during these segments tell you.
Segments include:
- Weird America, a segment of the show in which the crew flies out to unusual events all across the country. For example, "Car Hunt," where a full-sized, remote-controlled car is let loose in the Nevada desert and is hunted down with high-powered weapons, "just like big game," according to Cirino.
- Shadoevision, a continuing science-fiction thriller hosted by Shadoe Stevens.
- The Dr. Ruehl show, where noted "phenomenologist" Dr. Franklin Ruehl talks about viewers of the latest cases of strange phenomena.
- Video Dave's UFO Clip of the Week, where Dave Aaron reports on the latest extraterrestrial sightings from around the world.
- Newsweird, which features strange news from around the globe.
Another segment of the show includes stand-alone video pieces that are produced specifically for the show, as well as other video pieces sent in by viewers themselves.
These include:
- Zatar the Mutant King
- Weird Love
- Mobius in the world of the Living Dead
- Babe in a Bottle(subtitled)
