Alt-World Interlude: The Other Peep Show?
I didn’t dream it. It really did (almost) happen. Honest.
Somewhere out there it exists. It must be really bad. Or just too good for puny humans.
What am I wittering on about?
The American remake of Peepshow of course. I used that interweb thing to find proof!
Exhibit A: January 25th 2005: Johnny Galecki has been tapped to star in Fox’s comedy pilot “Peep Show.” The project, a Carsey-Werner-produced adaptation of the successful British comedy, is described as a look inside the disturbing minds of two roommates (Galecki, Josh Meyers) — average guys who form a modern odd couple. The show’s twist is that the sometimes demented thoughts of the two main characters can often be heard. The original show has gotten inside their minds on issues like masturbation, death and male genitalia. Also cast in the pilot is Alexandra Holden.
Exhibit B: IMDB has an entry for it too. But they’re shit!
Exhibit C: The Futon Critic also mentioned it: PEEP SHOW (FOX) – Johnny Galecki (“Roseanne”), Josh Meyers (“MADtv”) and Amanda Holden (“Mad About Alice”) have joined the cast of the comedy pilot, about two average guys who form a modern day “Odd Couple.” Meyers, who had a talent holding deal at the network, will play one of the lead roles, an aspiring musician, as will Galecki. Holden then will play a co-worker of Galecki’s character. Jeff and Jackie Filgo (“That ’70s Show”) are behind “Peep,” which comes from the Carsey-Werner studio.
PEEP SHOW: Peek inside the disturbing minds of roommates Mark and Jeremy, a modern-day “Odd Couple,” in the new half-hour comedy PEEP SHOW, premiering on FOX.

It was a Fox show! See? That explains everything. They never show any of the stuff they make.
