Heil Honey I'm Home! was a controversial British television sitcom, produced in 1990, and canceled after one episode aired.

The show centred on fictionalised versions of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who live together in suburban bliss, until they are faced with new neighbours, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein, who are Jewish. The show's plot is centered on Hitler's inability to get along with his neighbours. A caption at the beginning of the episode presented the series as a 'lost' sitcom from the 50s, recently re-discovered. The show spoofed elements of 1950s and 1960s American sitcoms such as Leave It to Beaver and I Love Lucy, including the corny title, light (even vacuous) plots and dialogue, and unwarranted applause whenever a character appeared on screen.

The plot of episode 1 involved Adolf telling Eva of the impending arrival of Neville Chamberlain, and begging her not to tell the Goldensteins. Of course, Eva lets it slip to Rosa that Chamberlain (the most important man in Europe!) is coming round and Rosa tells Arny. They then crash the dinner party the Hitlers have prepared for Chamberlain.

Only one episode (the pilot) was ever screened, making it one of the only UK shows canceled after one episode, although eight episodes were planned and a number were recorded. The filming of the series was cancelled immediately by Sky (BSkyB) on its acquisition of British Satellite Broadcasting. This was probably due in part to the ire that accompanied the first episode. Neither the pilot or other episodes have ever been aired since. The show has since become renowned as one of the most controversial programmes ever to have been screened in the UK; it listed at #61 on Channel 4's The 100 Greatest TV Moments from Hell.

I was readily prepared to say that I've seen/heard of worse.

But nope, I've got nothing. I'm genuinely shocked. Wow. Just...wow.

I'd rather watch that than ANY "reality" show.

I remember seeing this about 2 years ago. For unknown reasons, I have never been able to get that theme song out of my head since.

And now it's back.

...

Oh yeah, and it's a stupid idea.
