6 | The main characters are: |
7 | * '''Count [=LeShoc=]''': The Film/{{Nosferatu}} station head. |
8 | * '''Batfink''': [=LeShoc's=] assistant, a beatnik bat. |
9 | * '''Dwayne Frankenstein''': The janitor |
10 | * '''Artie Leech''': The Accountant |
11 | * '''Furry J. Ackermonster''': The yeti intern from the USA. |
12 | * And many other supporting characters. |
13 | |
14 | Upon his arrival in the station, Furry makes some modifications to the [[Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} Frankenstein Device]] and resurrects several old television shows—making way for parodies galore. |
15 | |
16 | The episodes vary among showing station antics, the in-universe television shows, and Furry's VlogSeries. It ran for three seasons and had a public access Halloween special, with five made for TV episodes following afterwards. [[http://www.transylvania-tv.com/ Can be viewed here.]] The series was hosted on Website/ChannelAwesome from 2010-2011, but left to pursue other ventures. |
