I admit it: I watch entirely too much TV. At least I don't watch stuff like The Hills (not that there's anything wrong with that), American Idol, America's Top Model or anything involving Rachael Ray. My tastes run more towards the esoteric side; I can get sucked into shows like Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, Destination Truth, Survivorman, the entire "Adult Swim" oeuvre, and before I know it, there goes my entire evening.

Stephen Colbert is a god to me. Jon Stewart, not so much. But lately, the show that's been cracking me up the most is something called Cheap Seats.

Hosted by identical twins Randy and Jason Sklar, Cheap Seats applies the Mystery Science Theater 3000 formula (comedians riffing over impossibly bad movies) to vintage footage from the ESPN archive. This is somewhat ironic, because of all the sports that exist in the world, I'm a fan of exactly zero of them (though fencing is kind of cool). But these aren't your run of the mill, boring sports — spelling bees, bowling, hacky sacking and sumo wrestling are more their style.

Just so you know, this show is not new — it initially launched in 2004 and went off the air in 2006. But every night at 2 a.m., ESPN Classic airs the reruns, and I am powerless to stop myself from watching them. Forget sleeping — when else will I ever see Olympic athletes and their dogs compete in tandem, like I did the other night? The best part of Cheap Seats, besides the brothers' comedic timing, is getting a second look at America in the '80s and '90s. Were mullet haircuts and neon clothing really that socially acceptable when I was a youngster? Sadly, the answer is yes.

Cancelled or not, Cheap Seats is a wickedly funny show, and that's not just the sleep deprivation talking. With their quick wits and unlikely gimmick, the Sklar brothers may end up being big stars one day. If so, you heard it here first. For now, they remain the reason I'm laughing so maniacally at 2:14 in the morning.
