Atom TV is a comedy series produced by the Atom Network. The Atom Network airs short films and productions by independent film makers. Atom TV tells different tales of ridiculous things in a short sitcom format. It originally got its start as an internet web series that Comedy Central decided to air on television. Many of the episodes deal with wacky themes in a comical fashion. One episode has a monster chaining people to a wall. You may think that he is going to torture them but in reality all he wants is for them to be his friend.
Comedy Central decides what shorts to air based on viewer votes. Viewers can vote online at Atom.com for what they think the best episodes are and then Comedy Central will air them. The episodes come in many different formats. They can be parodies of popular shows or animation, or live-action comedic shorts.
Some of the episodes are creepy and funny at the same time. There is on series that follows a pair of conjoined twins as they get into adventure after adventure. There is another series that follows animated stickman characters. The stickmen have been doodled in a high school student's notebook and they come to life and explore the notebook, looking for page after page. There is also a series following a character named Benny, who is an convict rat on the run from the police. Atom TV tends to air late at night and it fits the wacky sensibilities of many late night viewers. The shows are completely unorthodox in context and yet funny as well.
Atom TV is a series that ran for 3 seasons (50 episodes) between May 28, 2008 and on Comedy Central
