The World Cup of Forgotten TV Shows

You’re watching the free group stages, Groups A–D. The full tournament is on Patreon and Spotify.

The World Cup of Forgotten TV Shows kicks off with a nostalgia-loaded showdown between Gladiators, Eurotrash, Top of the Pops and The Word - four iconic blasts from the past fighting for a place in the next round. From Saturday-night megahits to late-night madness, this group has everything. Which show still holds up? Which one deserves a comeback? And which one only existed because the ‘90s were completely unhinged? This is a full standalone episode taken from our Patreon-exclusive tournament - nostalgic, chaotic, and guaranteed to spark arguments about what should have made the draw. Let us know your winner. We’re ready for the comments.
