Two idiots and their much more intelligent guests take on classic TV (mostly the Andy Griffith Show) to see the weird messages they broadcast into American homes, and assess what holds up and what caused permanent damage to the psyche of an entire generation.Join hosts Marty Schneider and Dan Ludwig as they descend into the madness of Boomer television, and occasionally break down their own childhood television addictions.New episodes bi-weekly on Thursday mornings!

We finally did it, we finally went full Marxist on the Andy Griffith Show. We didn't MEAN to do it but it was bound to happen eventually. Also in this episode, Marty is an unwilling participant in childhood trauma, and everyone sadly waves to a bunch of money.Marty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theluddsSUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyFollow Breaking Mayberry on

Look, everything happens so damn much all the the time these days. I mean, we talk about goddamn Shrimp Guy in this episode and like, you don't care about Shrimp Guy anymore. That was barely a blip on the cultural landscape. But when we recorded this, that was relevant.In this episode, we meet the Darlings again. And also Darkseid. Marty sings in this one. Kidnapping is shown to be not a big deal. I'm so tired.Marty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter:
