#7Urzila

Drama Series - 2026, 16 episodes • Main Cast Role

5.5 / 10
Comedy

Urzila is gleefully outrageous, capturing Carlson’s fearless, no-filter approach to comedy in full flight. Each episode mashes up razor‑sharp stand-up with cheeky, fast‑firing sketches, many of them plucked straight from the wildly funny stories she riffs on during her live shows. The whole thing crackles with mischief. It’s a TV series powered by two decades of stand-up comedy chaos: bold, boisterous, and unmistakably Urzila.

#11Funky Squad

Drama Series - 1995, 16 episodes • Main Cast Role

9.0 / 10
ComedyCrime

Funky Squad was a short-lived 1995 Australian comedy television series which satirised 1970s-era U.S. police television dramas, such as The Mod Squad. Only 7 half-hour episodes were produced, which were broadcast on the ABC. Real television commercials from the 1970s were shown during the program's "commercial breaks". The show featured four "funky" undercover detectives: undetectable as police, given their "hipness". The conclusion of each episode was deliberately designed to be incredibly predictable: usually the perpetrator of the crime under investigation could be identified within the first few minutes of the episode. Before the television series, Funky Squad originally aired as a series of episodes on radio station Triple M. Rob Sitch, who played Grant, was replaced by Tim Ferguson when the series went to television.
