(NSFW: Language) David Mitchell rants about the chaotic assault of stimuli at the end of TV shows: credit roll + voice over + scenes from next episode + banner announcing the next show…

Seinfeld was a sitcom about nothing, but it ran for so long and had so many episodes that you can probably make up any kind of story using scenes from the series. Take this one for example.

(NSFW: Language) We were glued to our sets for season one, so even a minute-long tease for the show’s second outing has us dying to see just who Nucky Thompson plans on ruining this fall.

We already know that Seinfeld was really a thriller. But it turns out Jerry had his eye on much greater evil than we thought. Cosmo Kramer puts it best “an epic struggle for world domination.”

YouTube member benny2700 serves up an intro sequence of The Office coated with a thick layer of 1980s sitcom, complete with an extended opening skit, cheap laugh track and cheesy theme music.

We’ve been dying for the return of Walt and Jesse for what seems like an eternity between seasons. The wait is finally over on July 17th, and our DVRs are set. We will miss the Winnebago though.

Long before Jim Henson unleashed his snarky Muppet Show, he worked with B.C. creator Johhny Hart on a pilot for The Wizard of Id. See the shape of things to come in this rare test footage.

Our favorite medley maker Fredde Gredde is back – this time with the perfect combo of tunes from The Simpsons, including classics like “Happy Birthday, Lisa,” “Monorail!” and “Baby on Board.”

Kiefer Sutherland’s web series The Confession, about a hit man spilling his secrets to a priest, premieres in March. We like the Jack Bauer-style whispers in the confessional. (Thanks Brendan!)

Belgian premium cable network Prime promotes its impressive lineup of American TV shows with a truly inspiring montage of miniature dioramas, each representing a different series. Well done.
