I thought this was collection of handmade or LLM generated fake shows, but rather it is a database of fictional shows that appeared within TV or movies, for example the Wayne’s World talk show that appeared within the Wayne’s World movie.

How do people find the time to create something like this? The breadth is staggering.

The list of films itself is crowdsourced - you can check the list of suggestions on GitHub, where there are currently 290 pending titles: https://github.com/lynnandtonic/nestflix.fun/issues

Now, where do the site creators find the time to create every film card? Your guess is as good as mine.

i submitted a few shows to this and included a handful of stills to go along with it, it was an a+ contribution process, but there was still a lot of work i didn't do, so i can appreciate why there's a backlog. great project!

To quote South Park, "there's a time and place for everything. Its called college."

Isn't that from The Simpsons?

Nope, Chef from South Park.

I also remember Homer Simpson saying something similar

wait, is this a real life “simpsons did it”?

AFAICT it’s only found in the south park canon:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0705934/characters/nm0005002

Hey you're right. Just tried finding that one weird movie from The Office, and it's there, creepy stills and all!

“Next on.. SICK SAD WORLD!”

This is precisely what I desperately wanted to find. Alas, my multi-decade wait continues.

Ahem. https://nestflix.fun/sick-sad-world/

The Simpsons started as a show within a show so there's hope we can someday buy it for a dollar
