Night Gallery: The Sins of the Fathers/You Can't Get Help Like That Anymore (1972)
Disturbing
I wasn't expecting much from this old show but this one worked for me. I felt it was very good. This wasn't scary none of the Night Gallery episodes are. This episode however was very disturbing, creepy and well acted. Some parts were a bit disgusting like when the food was next to the corpse and the boys mouth was watering from hunger, also when his mother was using bread to clean the crumbs from his body. The last five minutes was the best as the son was basically a sacrifice to cleanse his father's soul. Richard Thomas and Geraldine Page were as usual very good. The second episode about the robots was a let down and predictable.
Taboo (2002)
Very good documentary series
I probably misunderstood the previous reviewer but this isn't a game show.
It's a documentary series about different practices that some in certain cultures would consider wrong, not normal, or in the extreme disgusting.
Whether it's body modifying, different religious or sexual practices, or eating odd kinds of foods.
The series is basically trying to get the viewer to understand why segments of all societies take up practices that might be seen as strange by the larger culture.
