Just a couple of months ago I came across a new show on discovery channel ( I love this channel, you actually learn something when you watch) The show was called Oddities and I was almost immediatly inspired. At the time, they were having a type of marathon and so I got to see episode after episode.
This is off their homesite: "ODDITIES dives into the weird world of strange and extraordinary science artifacts through the eyes of the proprietors of Manhattan's Obscura Antiques & Oddities."
The shop is filled to every inch with everything unimaginable, taxidermy, teeth, real human skulls, 19th century medical supplies, masks, and more. most of the stuff has at least a slightly morbid flair.
After that marathon there were maybe two new shows and then it just stopped. I'm guessing they weren't getting enough veiwers which is a real dissapointment because this show was unlike anything I've ever seen on tv before. I would literally eat it if I could, or was that crazy, which I may be.
