  • Episode 555--Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour
    May 5 2025

    Yesterday, May the Fourth have been with you. Because of the unofficial holiday, this installment will cover a facet of the Star Trek universe. (How many of you checked out after that intentional faux pas?) The Ewoks were the breakout stars of the 3rd released movie of the Star Wars franchise, while droids were a big part of the series from the start. Combine the two in separate Saturday morning cartoon franchises, and that means kids will want the toys, adding gobs of money into several coffers. The cartoons themselves? Typical disposable Saturday morning fare.

  • Episode 554--In the Lion's Den (1987 pilot)
    May 1 2025

    It's the start of our annual Pilot Month and we're starting off with a pilot two of the three of us didn't see much of, so one of us took one for the team. There's a kids show with a lion puppet and Marcia Gay Harden is involved. That's about all we cared for. It was a CBS Summer Playhouse entry, so it was earmarked for failure. We promise it gets better from here.

  • Episode 553-Shell Game
    Apr 24 2025

    None of us take responsibility for selecting this show and putting it on our schedule, which must say how bad this show is. Two ex-cons produce a TV show about protecting people from scams, which makes sense; who'd know more about the scamming business than two reformed ex-cons? This show's shelf life was very short and for obvious reasons. At least a young Marg Helgenberger is in this.

  • Episode 551--David Cassidy: Man Undercover
    Apr 17 2025

    The 70s were a heck of a time. Anybody could get their own variety series and a pretty boy teen idol from earlier in the decade could play a undercover cop? Keith Partridge himself was the lead in this series, a complete 180 to singing and playing the guitar not 5 years prior. Ultimately, this cop show was handily defeated by another cop show, one which aired for most of that decade.
