Poorly sourced (its sole footnote is a YouTube clip of its own opening/closing credits, which is not support for notability at all) article about a minor public access program. As always, television shows are not "inherently" notable just because they existed, and have to show evidence of passing WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them, but there's no evidence of that being shown here, and the article has been tagged for sourcing problems since 2014 without improvement.
I'm also bundling a completely unsourced episode list, and note that both articles are extremely overloaded with much deeper levels of detail than their lack of reliable sourcing can bear, suggesting the distinct possibility that there's been some conflict of interest editing by people who were directly involved in the show (a concern not at all allayed by the fact that they were both created by a virtual WP:SPA named "BigHandzCT".)

Delete. Utterly non-notable public access program. Now appears to be a podcast, but searches in WP:LIBRARY and newspapers.com return nada -- I can't even verify it ever existed as a TV show. Jfire (talk) 04:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is more verbage here compared to zero real references. Weird! Leaning delete, but due to the volume of the article, going to wait and take a deeper look. Jacona (talk) 14:38, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
