  Peep show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peep shows, also known as peep box or raree show ("rarity show") trace back to ancient times (15th century in Europe, by Leon Battista Alberti) and are known in various cultures.
Possible shows were exotic views and animals, scenes of classical drama or masques, court ceremonies, surprise transformations, e.g., of an angel into a devil, and of course, lewd pictures.
By an analogy, the term "peep show" is applied to a piecewise presentation of pornographic films using a coin-operated gadget, which shuts the view after a short time period, requiring more coins to be deposited for continuation.

 Peep Show (television) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peep Show is a British sitcom starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
The show is unusual in that the events of the characters' lives are seen literally from their own points of view (in fact, a working title for the programme was "POV").
Peep Show features the often sexually frustrated lives of two twenty-somethings, Mark Corrigan (Mitchell) and Jeremy Osborne (Webb), former university companions (they sometimes refer to themselves as 'The El Dude Brothers') who now share a flat.

 DVD Times - Peep Show: Series 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Peep Show is one of the most bizarre television comedy concepts in recent years.
Everything is delivered in the same glib, deadpan manner throughout, and the fact that the show is mercifully devoid of a laugh track means that the jokes are not drawn attention to in an obvious way.
The amount of replay value that the show possesses is also questionable, since while I found each episode absolutely hilarious on the first viewing, certain moments failed to even raise a chuckle when watching them for the second or third time.

 TV Review:Peep Show on BBC America
However, Peep Show — currently airing on BBC America — is a comedy unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
It’s painful, embarrassing, and funny as we hear him cheer himself on saying, "You’re a sunshine coach." The strength of the show is the acting by David Mitchell as Mark and Robert Webb as Jeremy.
Peep Show is not for the comedically weak of heart.

 About the Nob Hill Gazette
If you're in Generation Y (early- to mid-20s) or younger, "Peeps" might be short for "people." But for Generation-Xers and those who are even older (presumably Generations A through W), "Peeps" likely brings forth memories of Easter sweets - bright yellow marshmallow blobs that are supposed to resemble small birds.
Peeps are available in traditional - and slightly more natural-looking - Day-Glo yellow as well as pink, blue, white, and purple.
Their "research" included the surgical separation of conjoined Peep quintuplets, as well as tests to see what happens when Peeps are put in a vacuum (they expand...surprise, surprise), micro-waved, stapled, or boiled in various chemicals.

 DVDActive - Reviews - DVD - Peep Show: Series One
The show is shot from the point of view of the characters; we see what they see (via the means of shaky head-fixed cameras).
By doing this, the show gives a good insight into the facades that people use; the supposedly casual Jeremy is not quite as laid-back as he'd like people to think, while the seemingly mild-mannered Mark is actually an anger fuelled war-obsessive.
It's also worth noting that the show is presented in anamorphic widescreen; a welcome relief from the TV Disc norm of pan and scan.

 Peep Show - Are you Big Brother? By David Edelstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Truman Show, directed by Peter Weir from a script by Andrew Niccol, is the story of Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey), a rather ordinary insurance salesman in a picturesque town called Seahaven.
But the movie's conceit is plain from its prologue: Billions of viewers all over the world tune in faithfully to partake of Truman's ordinariness, to share his triumphs and feel his pain, to follow his mundane comings and goings--and buy the products that the actors who surround him are constantly hawking.
The Christof of The Truman Show is a peculiarly loving fascist, a self-styled patriarch who has convinced himself that the tidy '50s TV universe he has fabricated is superior to the real one--and that Truman, his "son," is lucky to have so attentive a god.
