HEIL HONEY, I'M HOME
With the not-so-recent South Park Muhammad dustup in mind, John Stahl points us to something truly odd - a sitcom that aired only once back in 1990 on British Satellite Broadcasting, cancelled because of the outcry from outraged viewers. It's Heil Honey, I'm Home, the trials and domestic travails of Adolph Hitler and Eva Braun, a not-so-typical suburban couple. The program was presented as if it were an unearthed sitcom from the 1950s. In a nod to that classic sitcom cliche, the first storylines centered around Eva being unprepared for Hitler's important business associate (Neville Chamberlain) coming for dinner and the couple's new neighbors dropping in unexpectedly. The neighbors just happen to be Jewish. A trippy sendup of the 1950's American sitcoms, Heil Honey, I'm Home was actually pretty amusing but it has to be one of the weirdest TV programs ever concocted and holds the distinction of being the only UK show cancelled after the first airing. There were a number of other Heil Honey, I'm Home episodes filmed but never shown.
