Telehell
This is "Telehell", Where We cover the worst, the dumbest, the most sin-worthy of TV moments from the past 7 decades. Then, we rate them on a scale based on Dante's 9 circles of Hell. Add dry wit and cheesy jokes to the mix, and you've got something that will last throughout eternity--we hope. We drop a new episode every Sunday Night (EST) Until then, thanks for coming and remember our Motto: "If It's Not in Telehell...It's Not worth a Damn!"
