Point is that it's only obscure from a US of A's cultural perspective. Just about anyone I would speak to here would remember it, despite it being a fairly low-key program.
I think a better obscure reference would be something that would make you say: "I can't believe they have that in an encyclopaedia".
For example, I can't believe someone put in the term Teabagging. Though, it's not that obscure. However, I think this is made up for by the sheer amount of information. Well more than I would expect on the subject.
A good one in the same vane as Dark Jaguars, only better would be the Shozygs. An instrument used on the excellent Talk Talk album Spirit of Eden. I really doubt anyone other than a Talk Talk fan with access to Wikipedia would really know what that is. I still don't know what it looks like.
In regards to finding something suitably obscure and banal, I'll try my best.
