InfoMania was a satirical news parody show that aired on current tv throughout 2007 to 2011 and was also available in current's website from 2007 to September 2010. the show mainly consistent of segments that parodied various things like gay stereotypes, viral videos,advertisements focused on woman, and later on in the show movie and tech reviews. a full episode of these would be around 22 minutes in length while the segments would be uploading separately on current's site, hulu, or on youtube. in September 2010 Current faced backlash over their decision to remove the full length episodes of the show off their platform and only aired on tv for the rest of the shows run as well as adding a live audience to the show which was seen as hypocritical as the show mocked laugh tracks and live audiences before. the backlash soon led to the removal of the live audience but the full episodes were never republished with no reason as to why this decision was made. the show's final episode would be on july 15th 2011. today segments of the show have resurfaced on youtube both officially and unofficially and clips of the show in general has surface but not to a full length episode.

like i said earlier the show was available on hulu for about a year or so. it seemed to stop providing the episodes around 2012 from the looks of it as i went through the wayback machine. though it started to get confusing with later dates as the numbers change of how many clips or episodes there are. these lists of episodes were shown in april 1st of 2010 and the full episodes were 61 but by the end of the show in say around oct of 2011 the list of full episodes was around 22 so it really confuses me and the archives themselves are spotty as well even by the shows cancellation. i cant seem to find a reliable source to know how much episodes were made for this show. even with advent of hulu people still had a hard time watching it as errors were common when trying to access it, people had to resort to youtube uploads, facebook posts, and just watching it illegally in general just to keep up.

found more screenshots of the show through the muppet wiki as they either talked about sesame street, make muppet related jokes, or just have muppets in their backgrounds although some images no longer work. not gonna lie this was jarring when i found out about this.

while unfortunately tv tropes didn't have an article on the show itself it didnt made an article on of the segments of the show. that being Target Women which details the premise and some plots on some episodes.
i started archiving segments of the show as best as i can. this is the most i can find of the segment Target women featuring host Sarah Haskins which the segments are the following titles:
i found an archive channel called CurrentTvArchive that archives content from shows that aired on Current TV through its lifetime (2005-2013). its just clips of another show called vanguard and target women but heres hoping there will be more uploaded since the the last upload was 3 weeks ago.
found out that in an Interview Haskins left in January 2010 due to wanting to search for other opportunities and feeling that it was time to move on. the segment was basically transformed to the Modern Lady and Haskins was replaced with Eris Gibson which is shown in the picture below.
