A peep show or peepshow is an exhibition of pictures or objects viewed through a small hole or magnifying glass. This may or may not be a sex show, although the latter kind has eventually become the most common usage of the term since the advent of cinema and television, which largely replaced the various kinds of entertainment provided by wandering showmen.
Peep Show is an award-winning British sitcom starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb. The programme is written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, with additional material by Mitchell and Webb themselves. It has been broadcast on Channel 4 since 2003, and finished its fourth series in May 2007. It was recommissioned for a fifth series before the fourth was screened.
Peep Show was a Canadian television series, which aired on CBC Television in 1975 and 1976. The series, a 16-episode anthology of half-hour drama programs by new and emerging Canadian writers and directors, was produced by George Bloomfield and Gerald Mayer.
Programs that aired on Peep Show included Martin Lavut's Melony, Clarke Mackey's Fight Night, David Cronenberg's The Lie Chair and CODCO's Festering Forefathers and Running Sons. Martin Short also had his first acting role on the series, in the episode Goldberg is Waiting.
The theme song from Peep Show is Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger. This song only appears from the second series and following series.
