14 TV Shows That Looked Bizarrely Different Early On

When preparing this list, we looked for things like general entertainment value, scary situations, odd and mysterious characters, and interesting stories in TV shows. We're not seeking bizarre shows with a lot of gore but instead shows that are using surprise and uncanniness to convey their unusual brand.
You didn’t come walking into the world, and even the greatest athletes didn’t somersault their way out of the delivery room. In that sense, TV shows are a lot like people — before they figure out what they are, they are often ugly things that can't keep their eyes open and need a diaper change every few hours.
OK, we might have taken this metaphor a little bit too far, so we’ll just shut up and leave you to the actual examples.
There's a lot of bizarre going on these days, and a surprising amount of it has made it into mainstream media. Because there's already a list of the 14 weirdest movies ever made, a list for the small screen seemed inevitable. There's also a lot to go through. Throughout the years, television has generated a slew of utterly bizarre series.
