Best Late-Night Cable ShowCanyon State Naturists STAFF PICK: The answer, obviously, is Canyon State Naturists, hosted by Don Titmus. The show, aired Saturday nights at midnight on Channel 61, examines the pressing social issue of public nudity. Each week, Don travels to a different exotic location and interviews a group of somnambulant, glassy-eyed nudists about their controversial lifestyle. Don: "And how long have you been a nudist, Jim?" Nudist: "About six years, Don." Don: "I see. And why did you become a nudist, Jim?" Nudist (after a long pause): "Because I didn't want to wear clothes, Don."
The endless vistas of non-airbrushed flesh, far from arousing
feelings of concupiscence, give elegant if unspoken testimony
to the importance of mystery in matters erotic. While we do enjoy
the shows where the video feed apparently fails--a rather frequent
occurrence--our favorite show so far has to be "The Fence
Painting Party." In this surreal episode, several self-conscious
nudists, after enjoying a backyard barbecue, proceed to frantically
slop random splotches of paint on a fence--for no apparent reason--while
a skeletal older man grins at the camera, thrusting and swiveling
his hips obsessively. This is the sort of feverish tableau David
Lynch might dream while suffering the ravages of acute food poisoning.
