IMDb profile

Doggy Fizzle Televizzle was a sketch comedy show produced by and starring rap musician Snoop Dogg. It was aired on MTV in 2002 until 2004. It will be aired again on December 25, 2006 with a continuous broadcast of three episodes in a row.

As Snoop Dogg admits it in episode two it was originally a contract for six shows however it turned out to be a series of eight parts.

In the beginning of every show Snoop is seen sitting bored in a leather armchair in an empty room while switching channels from Jerry Springer to a cart race then to black and white burlesque figure skating after that to a strip show and finally to a Richard Marx music video when he decides to change the situation and the idea of Doggy Fizzle Televizzle comes to his mind. This ends the intro and the main theme follows with Snoop rapping.

[edit] Controversy

Snoop Dogg and MTV faced a lawsuit on December 12, 2003 by Doris Burns, an actress who appeared in the show. Burns claimed she had been made to look like she had been engaging in sexual activity with another actor who was portraying her husband.

According to Burns, during the filming of the episode the producers of the show asked her to pretend she was having sex with her acting partner. The actress refused but agreed to wear a tank top and to hold the actor's hand while sitting on the bed. When the show aired on August 31st, the scene was very different, as Burns' torso was blurred that made the impression of her being nude and so were the actors' hands that looked like as she was grabbing the other's genitals.

According to the Associated Press, Burns was accusing Snoop Dogg and MTV of breach of contract, fraud, invasion of privacy, and defamation. The actress was seeking unspecified damages caused on her and her 10 year old child with whom she was watching the airing of the episode together.
