Night Stand

I loved this show. I found it when it ran on E TV. It made fun of all the stupid "confrontational talk" shows that stations around the country were running at all hours of the day. No topic was out of bounds. They made fun of the whole talk show industry, sex, white trash people, rappers, Baywatch, religion. Everything and anything. Tim Stack was incredible as Dick Dietrick. The legendary Rodney Dangerfield even made appearances on this show.

How do we get this show on DVD? Every TV show ever run on TV seems to have a DVD set except this one. If I would have known that it would end too soon and never be available again, I would have recorded it every night.

Let us consider: 'Friends', one of the unfunniest, blandest "comedies", and I use that term loosely here, ever to grace the small screen, is a huge hit. 'Night Stand Starring Dick Dietrick' is hands down the funniest show in the history of television and barely lasted a season. In fact, this show (a satire of Jerry Springer/ Ricki Lake sleaz-oid talk shows) was so dead-on perfect, middle america probably thought it WAS a sleaz-oid talk show and the jokes sailed right on over their heads. Watching this show with my dad, is the only time I can remember the two of us laughing out loud together until South Park came along. I'm telling you, this show was so funny I almost died suffocating myself laughing so hard.

I loved "Night Stand with Dick Dietrich".

From the cheesy-yet-sincere plaintiffs to the despicable-yet-lovable defendants, it's a remarkable insight into this slice of media mayhem.

And if ever there was a more jovially-sleazy host, I have yet to see them.

It's really the sincerity and the ability to pick out the most interesting and amusing elements of the genre that tickles me.

I really DO believe that Dick wants to know about whether an audience member has been involved with one of the guests.

I've been looking for an archive of the show? Has anyone found one, or made one? I'm very interested in finding one.

Please tell me how I can persuade the copyright owner to distribute a DVD compilation. I'd love to see it again.

Thanks.

Timothy Stack is maybe not so known for you people out there, but I must say that this man is one of the best comedians around the world.

He helps out to write on his own shows etc. and he plays his roles so good. The stupid, stupid guy who get's it right in the end anyway.

In Nightstand he played the Host Dick Dietrick and this is by far the best talkshow I've ever seen. NihtStand was a pure parody of most talkshows out there.. Springer show, Ricky Lake etc.

(In one show, can't remember the name of it though, there is this woman who starts to cry and Dick turns into the camera and says: They like this on Ricky you know)

Sadly NightStand is no more.. I recorded mostly every shows there was of it.. but I would like to see it released on DVD or something or maybe Timothy Stack will return in his amasing form as Dick Dietrick

This is a 10/10 show

It's the funniest show I've ever seen and I for some strange reason it's impossible to watch.

TV will never be this good again. It's a genius show and an absolute crime I can't give anybody money to own the full show because I'd do it in a heartbeat and I know I'm not the only one who misses this show.

Bring it back!
