The Funniest TV Shows of 2011

This list of popular newspapers is compiled from a report the <a href="http://www.accessabc.com/" target="_blank">Audit Bureau of Circulations</a> published based on the last 6 months of newspaper circulation, ending September 30, 2011. Topping out the best US newspaper is the Wall Street Journal, followed closely by the USA Today. National circulations are down a few percent across the board as the economy is tightening and more readers are getting their news articles online. Other newspapers that feared well over the last 6 months were The New York Times and The New York Daily News. Rounding out the top of the American newspapers are The Dallas Morning News and the Chicago Tribune.

Meanwhile, In Japan...

Japan

Way before there were wacky game shows&nbsp;like &quot;Wipeout&quot; and &quot;Minute To Win It,&quot; there were a whole slew of bizarre shows running in Japan, including these, which are perhaps the all-time most messed up Japanese shows ever. We all know about the weird Japanese game shows where people have to fit themselves through a bizarre hole in a wall or fall into a pit of goo, but these gems take television to a whole new level.From <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-13-most-brutal-public-pranks-of-all-time/rachel-stewart">brutal public pranks</a> on unsuspecting people (like making them think they are part of a shootout) to over-the-top stunts (like locking a man naked in an apartment until he can win his way out), clearly Japanese television is allowed to push the boundaries of common sense and good taste more than its American counterpart. The two styles of TV programming may be getting more alike in the future, as Japanese shows such as &quot;Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Camp&quot; continue to inspire similar shows for America, like the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-mtv-tv-shows/voteable?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">MTV series</a> &quot;Silent Library.&quot;

What are the best TV spin-offs in history? This list definitely includes many. Some of the best TV spin-off shows were, well, spun off of wildly successful sitcoms and dramas, allowing faithful viewers of the original shows the chance to learn more about some of the original characters. Spin-off shows don't always work ('Joanie Loves Chachi,' anyone?) but this list proves that lightning can strike once, or more rarely, twice! With news that FOX's 'Glee' may get a spin-off (risky, but understandable given the show's success), we thought we'd take a closer look at some of the more memorable TV spin-offs over the years. Don't see your favorite on the list? Definitely add it!

A list of the most expensive movies ever made, adjusted for inflation.  These are the films that cost the most amounts of money to create.  This list is based on the negative cost.  In other words, the amounts listed below do not include marketing budgets, etc.; they only include the production budget of the film itself.  These costs are also adjusted for inflation; $44 million in 1963 would be over $300 million today.  Hollywood studios tend to be secretive about the money they spend, so creative accounting is sometimes used to obfuscate their numbers.  That said, this list is just about as accurate as they come.  Filmmaking is an expensive endeavor.
