TV Pirata
''TV Pirata'' (Pirate TV) was a weekly Brazilian comedy show aired on Rede Globo between 1988 and 1990, being re-aired monthly in 1992. Some of the writers later went on to form the comedy troupe Casseta & Planeta.

No well-known figure or member of any economical or social class was spared from the show's cutting-edge humor. Premise The premise of the show was a TV studio being invaded by pirates who took over the programming department and put a ta ...

Sai De Baixo
''Sai de Baixo'' (a Brazilian Portuguese language, Portuguese slang roughly translated as "get out of the way") is a Brazilian sitcom that first aired on Rede Globo from 1996 to 2002.
