The Icelandic Shock-Station is a thoroughbred Icelandic comedy, where the Icelander's daily life and habits are elevated to the level of farcical confusion and where all the laws of common sense are reversed in travesty of themselves, while at the same time the opportunity is taken to satirize some of the features the scriptwriter feels are blemish on the otherwise smooth facade of the nation's character.

Icelandic basketball has, since the 1970s, been closely intertwined with the arrival of American players who have enriched and elevated the sport in the country over the years. These episodes recount the adventurous early years of journeys across the ocean, when the first players, who had competed for prestigious U.S. college teams in front of thousands of spectators, began arriving in Iceland. They found themselves in the dark winters of a tiny community, continuing to chase their dream of making basketball their profession. The story is followed through the profound societal changes that took place in Iceland, the growth of basketball in the country and worldwide in the early 1990s, the rise of women’s basketball, and reflections on the impact and legacy of American players. Their influence extends into modern times, where Americans frequently play key roles on championship teams in both men’s and women’s leagues.

Á baðkari til Betlehem is an Icelandic television series that first aired on Icelandic public television channel Sjónvarpið in December 1990. The show was one of the first televised advent calendars produced in Iceland, and is a part of Jóladagatal Sjónvarpsins, an ongoing series of televised Advent calendars. The show follows two eight-year-old children, Hafliði and Stína, who embark on an adventurous journey to Bethlehem, in order to bring Baby Jesus the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Their form of transport is a magical flying bathtub lent to them by the concertmistress Dagbjört, who the children suspect of being an actual angel. On their way to Bethlehem, the children face numerous challenges and obstructions, most notable being their repeated encounters with the evil bird Klemmi, who is the main antagonist of the show. Hafliði and Stína were both played by adults; Kjartan Bjargmundsson and Sigrún Waage respectively. All the other characters, both male and female, were portrayed by actress Inga Hildur Haraldsdóttir, in numerous guises. Having been rerun in 1995 and 2004, the show has gained a cult following in Iceland, especially among teenagers and young adults who grew up watching the show in its early runs.
