Last week I stumbled across a really great show on Discovery called
Oddities. It is about a shop in New York called Obscura, that deals in antiques - but not your average, pretty things or fun, mod things - they are more into old taxidermy, bones, scary antique medical equipment, and other weirdness.
It normally airs at 10:30pm EST on Thursdays. Sadly, Discovery doesn't post full episodes on their website (unlike
A&E, which lets me get my
Hoarders fix whenever I want, and let me have my own mini marathon of the new storage unit auction show
Storage Wars the other day, which I really enjoyed).
Luckily, they are running a marathon of Oddities this morning from 9am EST to 1pm EST - it looks like they are playing all 6 episodes that have aired so far, so it's a great chance to catch up on what I've missed!
I found these shows also! Some are creepy! Have you seen the one where the lady collects toenail clippings and makes jewelry with it !!!! Happy New Year! Thank God for the DVR!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I think if I come home with a head under glass, well - First my family with think I've finally lost it with the second-handing and yeah - I will have to agree!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I'm off to peruse :)

I hope I catch this episode! I'm not super macabre but I do love a good display of medical oddities. Have you seen the Mutter museum in Philadelphia? I caught a similar kind of program featuring that museum on Discovery or A&E years ago... I don't know if I could take it in real life but it was fun to watch it on tv!
ReplyDeleteOh I do love a bit of Taxidermy!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and am very much enjoying it! Will be following you from now on love!

ReplyDeleteActually just watched my first episode tonight. Will be watching the other 7 shortly.
ReplyDeleteI`m loving the items they have in their shop. Probably couldn`t afford any of the items I`d want, but a boy can dream.
