Cable mashup
Trying to catch up on backlog of DVRed shows as I have been falling asleep far more frequently than usual in the middle of things at home. I try to devote Saturday & Sunday "morning" to watching shows fileg does not want to see again or she would rather not see in the first place.
Sometimes, however I have to show her segments I think she needs to see. One such was an episode of Oddities where a bowtie-sporting fellow was looking for a unique prop for his next movie. It was Lloyd Kaufman - Mr. Troma Films himself. While fileg & I do not watch Troma's productions, we are fond of their spirit & sense of the absurd.
However, that's not what came here to talk about.
I had paused the playback while making breakfast and when Fileg looked up something unsavory filled the screen - as so often happens in Oddities. She asked if I was watching something on the Food Network.
This quickly evolved into a mashup of Oddities & Chopped.
Ted Allen: "In the mystery basket you have tofu, spray cheese, and a Fiji Mermaid. You have 25 minutes."

Chef #4: "I have prepared an appetizer trio of Fiji Mermaid three ways..."
