A comedy show about AdolfHitler and Eva Braun moving next door to a Jewish couple.

Yes, someone actually filmed and aired a sitcom with that premise. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWjCkcAmzDc It's real.]]

The show was written by British comedy writer Geoff Atkinson (one of the main writers of SpittingImage) in the 1990s, and is an almost perfect example of a StealthParody show. Possibly the most bizarre example of a "reimagining", the series set out to depict Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun living in suburban bliss, with their lives interrupted only by Hitler's dislike for their next door neighbours, an incredibly stereotypical Jewish couple. It was presented to the viewer as a "long lost", "recently rediscovered" 1950s sitcom, parodying and distorting beyond recognition the worst features of such programs (with unnecessary canned applause for every character entrance, hideously vacuous plots and dialogue, and a truly awful title sequence).

-->'''Hitler''': ''(Answering the phone)'' Hi, Hitler here. [{{Beat}}] No, ''Bob'' Hitler, who do you think?

Needless to say, the show proved to be more than controversial. Many found it to be offensive for its trivial attitude towards Nazism, whilst others considered it to be a legitimate comedy along the lines of ''Film/TheProducers'' and other Third Reich parodies, with the undeniable crassness being an intentional part of the wider stealth parody. And others just thought it was a boring sitcom pastiche that wasn't made funny simply by the fact a guy dressed as Hitler was in it. Eight episodes were commissioned and planned by the now defunct Galaxy channel of the equally now defunct British Satellite Broadcasting network, but only the pilot was ever aired. The show's filming was immediately canceled upon Sky's acquisition of BSB.

This has no relation to another short-lived sitcom, ''Series/HiHoneyImHome''.
