When Cars Attack (1997)

Richard Belzer's deadpan approach (homage to Robert Stack) is perfect for this beautifully ridiculous satire of cop and weird animal quasi-documentaries. Consider it an American satire in the tradition of the classic British "The Rutles." OK, maybe that's a stretch but I saw it on probably its only broadcast and was in awe of its inspired absurdity. Belzer fused his great stand-up comedy skill with his excellent dramatic acting (as seen as Lt. Munch in Homicide:Life in the Streets) in being the ultra-serious host for this "reality" show. Houstonians will enjoy its use of an unfinished Houston freeway for some of the really bizarre car behavior. I feel honored to see the program as the odds are you will never see this as it is highly unlikely that it will ever be rebroadcast.
