Jonathan Coulton's short-lived sitcom "Monkey Shines" had an extremely brief run on ABC in 1985; it was cancelled during the first commercial break of the first episode, and was ordered destroyed by then-ABC President Grant Tinker. The show slowly developed a cult following through the years, however; but although numerous rumors of bootleg recordings of the show circulated, they all proved to be hoaxes or, in several cases, episodes from season 3 of "Felicity". In early 2008, in a sub-basement of the Yale University anthropological studies department, researchers unearthed a Betacam master video recording of the pilot episode opening credits. (Unfortunately, the remainder of the episode was apparently recorded over with footage of the Yale Whiffenpoofs "1991 Holiday Jamboree Singabration") To date, this remains the only authenticated footage from "Monkey Shines". (Reclusive star Coulton has not returned repeated requests for comment) In the interest of science, history, and primate studies, we present the "Monkey Shines" opening credit sequence...

Part of my Obscure First Person Shooters series: www.youtube.com Gameplay footage from the map Fun House in the third episode Monkey Shines of the "authorized" add-on Duke!Zone 2. Most people are probably familiar with the !Zone series as simply being collections of user made maps for games such as Doom, Quake, etc put on CD and sold as retail. However, Duke!Zone 2 is actually comprised of three entirely original Duke 3D episodes made by WizardWorks. I'm pretty sure they don't fit into the official Duke canon. This house is not nearly as fun as it claims to be. Whoever designed these maps clearly harbors an intense hatred of the player, the game, and humanity as a whole, possibly equaling the hate he has for himself.
