The whole idea of public access TV seems so strange to me. So anyone can just buy a slot and broadcast in a city/local area? And this is still a thing post-Youtube? And people watch these?

These days people just make their own videos and upload them to Youtube, which I think makes them lose some of their charm.

Speaking of which, here's the infamous Great Satan at Large video that was so offensive it was outright banned from public access:

The guy probably missed the window to bring it back as a Youtube video series since that would piss off Youtube's sponsors now.

At least we ain't Detroit

That's like saying "At least we aren't the one major city in America that's the closest thing to a post apocalyptic wasteland".

Mossback's Northwest airs on PBS Seattle as filler between TV shows and is probably the closest thing to a classic public access show:
