I love that show but I have only seen it once.I was stoned and eating a ham sandwich @ 3 oclock in the morning when this show came on. I had never seen it but it looked funny because....well....German accents are f***ing hilarious.But then shazam! My older brother Orion a.k.a "Nugz" who went traveled out to California the year prior pops up on the screen. When I talked to him he cracked up because they didn't know they call him "nugz"!He said Gerhard was cool, wasn't German, and made it MANDATORY that they all puff puff the happy grass with him in order to air the episode.......nice.Needless to say I nearly choked like mama cass on that sandwich, my brother was on TV! So if anyone has any idea where I can find that Episode LET ME KNOW PLEASE!Erniebeckmusic@yahoo.com erniebeck@mac.com

its unfortunate this was not released on DVD...im stuck hunting down VHS tapes and cable reruns.this show was by far one of the funniest shows ever....im not sure why it didn't have a lot more poularity than it did.EVERY EPISODE IS STUNNING.Gerhard's quests will never be matched, his great grand father will never be found, and Dr. Nelson Beard will "never know." This show is 1,000 times better than modern SNL episodes, it contends with south park and family guy in my opinion.10!

I stumbled onto this show. It was the one where Gerhardt gets hooked on coca and is kidnapped by militant rebels. I was fascinated, asking myself what the heck I was watching. I soon saw more and was floored. I was none to surprised to then learn that Tom Stern was behind this show. That explained why it was so funny...well at least to a degree. He's Alex Winter's (ya know...Bill from Bill&Ted) college buddy. They had a great show called The Idiot Box back in the day on MTV and made a major motion picture called Freaked (also great) that got totally screwed over by their studio and was never really released properly.The world needs more of his kind of humor. Too bad about 10 years ago good comedy (kind of like music) just went BYE-BYE! I'm thinking Get a Life and late 80's SNL. Lots of intelligent surreal humor back in the late 80's/early 90's. I blame Seinfeld (which I love, of course.) After him every sitcom had to be about four people sitting around their apartment. Thank goodness for Conan I guess.This show is for smart people who like wacked out comedy. God bless you.

I wasn't surprised when I saw that Jimmy Kimmel is behind this show and crank yankers. Kimmel's brand of gross-out, bathroom humor is taking over the entertainment world, or so it seems. There is an odd fascination with male genitalia running through the show. Some examples are Gerhard's constant thong wearing, things spilling out of his speedos, pee shyness, masturbation terms, etc...certainly a long way from the man show's juggies. It can be stomach-churning at times, but also very hilarious.
