Where were you when the turkeys dropped? I know where we were! Talking about that time the turkeys dropped. Travis took us back in time to the late 70's to enjoy this sitcom classic. WKRP in Cincinnati ran from 1978 to 1982 and in that run it had what might be the only worthwhile Thanksgiving episode of any TV series ever. I'm not going to tell you a lot about this one. Just listen to it!Next week, we're heading into the holidays with:A Charlie Brown Christmas - Streaming on AppleTVSend us feedback

Home Improvement - S6E7

Those Were The Days ·

2022/11/01

Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor was a household name when it comes to mid-90's sitcoms. Home Improvement was an incredibly popular show and stayed that way through most of its run. There was something about Tim's bafoonery, Jill's tolerance, and the real life (but elevated) situations that they found themselves in. It was a show that did what all good shows do in that it put people in everyday situations but with just enough of a tweak to keep things light. Tim was an everyman, and every man wanted to

Laverne and Shirley - S8E2

Those Were The Days ·

2022/10/04

Schlameel! Schlamazel! This episode is all about one of the most famous comedy couples in classic TV, Laverne and Shirley. When it jumped the shark is hard to pin down. Was it the last episode that Shirley appeared in, or the one after? Well, we went with the last episode and it was a doozy. There's some wild sitcom shenanigans going on in this one and I'm real glad we picked it. Nothing like a good hypnotist trope to really bring the weirdness in. We also got to talk about a bunch of behind the

The Flintstones - S6E8

Those Were The Days ·

2022/09/20

It's the Flintstones! They're a modern stone-age family! And we're a modern show that reviews stone-age television, so this was kind of an inevitable match up. Travis takes us all the way back to Bedrock to take a look at the first animated prime time sitcom. In this "Jumping the Shark" episode, Travis has gone with the old TV trope of introducing a new character when the writers weren't entirely sure what to do. That character in this instance is The Great Gazoo! The alien with unexplained magical

Just The Ten of Us - S2E5

Those Were The Days ·

2022/08/23

When we started this show, we wanted to explore our whether classic TV still translates to our own modern sensibilities. We knew eventually we would hit a show that just misses the mark for, well, almost every modern standard we have for decency. This was a trip, ya'll. Sit back and enjoy!Next week, we're watching Green Acres - S4E8 - Old Mail Day! You can find this one on YouTube.See you then! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Golden Girls - S4E20

Those Were The Days ·

2022/08/09

The Golden Girls is nothing short of legendary. The writing, the characters, the situations. It's all written and performed with the best of comedic timing and precision. Amy couldn't have picked a better episode to close out our Drugs theme.Not only did we chat about Golden Girls, but we announced our next topic. You voted, and we heard you.

Taxi - S3E8

2022/08/02

If you expect to learn a valuable drug lesson from 1981 television, you may have come to the wrong place! This week we took a look at classic sitcom, Taxi! Latka bakes some of his grandmother's cookies and they may contain an ingredient that no on expected.We had such a good time talking about this show. It's truly remarkable how dense with comedy this episode is and it really showed how the actors and writers pair together to make something that could be just "kinda funny" absolutely uproarious.We

Dinosaurs - S2E9

Those Were The Days ·

2022/07/26

Dinosaurs ran as part of ABC's TGIF block in the early 90's and was far more successful than it ever would be today. It had a charm and humor to it that was really only possible in the capable hands of the Jim Henson company. They were masters of the subversive humor that allowed them to talk about subjects that no one else would be able to get away with, let alone be celebrated for.We had an absolute watching this episode all about a New Leaf, and it wound up with a message that was largely unheard
