Seen on the Small Screen Podcast ·

2025/09/01

He's the man. Catch him if you can. Beat him if you can. Love him if you can. So goes the overlooked ballad of Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar man in the second of the TV show's pilot movies called Wine, Women, and War. This installment finds Steve Austin knee-deep in his position as an agent for OSI, albeit a little closer to James Bond territory. After an tough though successful mission in Alexandria, Oscar Goldman, Steve's new boss, wants to send him out into the field for some follow...

Ep52—It's the Story of a Brady Marriage

Seen on the Small Screen Podcast ·

2025/08/01

As the title of today's program states, this is the tale of the Brady Bunch sisters, the hybrid of a reunion movie and a last-minute, executive-driven television pilot called The Brady Girls Get Married. Much time has passed for the Brady clan since the show's final episode, enough of it in fact for Carol and Mike Brady to see their youngest daughter Cindy off to college. But, their relaxation as empty nesters is short lived for the elder Brady girls, Jan and Marsha, have found romance;...

Ep50—Beyond the Small Screen: Krull the Conqueror

2025/05/30

This program heralds in a series of new beginnings for our podcasting team. The first of these would be an episode odometer reading of an even 50 episodes. The second is another oddity of its own, a new cinema offering that we're calling Beyond the Small Screen. When this little selection comes up, our podcasters have a chance to talk about a movie that was released for a wider audience in a colossally larger theater house. This time, Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat have chosen a 1980's classi...

2025/04/30

The Seen on the Small Screen crew don their steward gear and take flight with an episode of Emergency!: The Final Rescues, the 2nd in this run for our intrepid podcasters titled, Survival on Charter #220. Sadly, there's not much Johnny and Roy in this one, although most of the doctors from Rampart General are still around. Instead, we get two carbon copy guys who have the look of the original Johnny and Roy, but not much in the way of charming banter as compared to their counterparts. M...

2025/02/27

It's something that's happened on this podcast on a few rare occasions, an event so monumental that Becky, Jake, or Sammy the kitty haven't done it over 10 episodes. Today, they'll be talking about a TV film that was made within our current century, a comedy caper that started life as a television show named Psyche: The Movie.

2025/01/31

Out in the vastness of space—nowhere near a final frontier or a galaxy far away—lies a port of call and refuge for humans, aliens, and nerds alike. It's the setting for a pilot movie and one of the most successful science fiction television franchises of the 1990s. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

May jingle bells rock and bring joy to the world because the season of Christmas is officially here along with some Halloween leftovers; at least, that's what Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat find out when they watch and review suburbia's premier family of Hollywood horrors in a movie called The Munster's Scary Little Christmas.

The hour has struck, everyone. It's time to brush the dust off our badges, shine our spurs, and....oh wait. We did all that in the last episode. At long last—about a month by my reckoning—the time's come for us to mosey down the dusty trail with Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat as they take on the second part of Kenny Rogers as The Gambler: The Adventure Continues. When last we left our heroic buckaroos, they were looking to effect a rescue on the final member of their gang from a crooked...

This month's episode is proof that good things can come in pairs, card pairs preferably, or a pair of deuces if the odds favor you. And good fortunes are ever in the court of Kenny Rogers in his second outing as gambler Brady Hawkes in The Gambler 2: The Adventure Continues. In this first part of a three-hour film, Kenny Rogers and Billy Montana are back, on board that faithful train rolling down the track to the big poker tournament.

When twins aren't enough to cause mayhem among their parent's choice of fiancés, why not increase the number of identical kids for an extra dose of abnormal? That's the formula Disney followed in the third movie of their Parent Trap saga, Parent Trap III, which is the topic of discussion for today's podcast episode. When triplets Lisa, Jessie, and Megan come back home after separately studying abroad over the summer, they find one of their number has brought with her an enigmatic boyfriend kn...

Take a trip back to the groovy decade of the 1970s with Sammy the cat, Jake, Becky, the EMTs of Station 51, and the doctors of Rampart General Hospital in the first of many TV movie from the television show Emergency!
