Best Episode Ever S2E3 - Leave It To Beaver and the 50's Family

This week I am joined by @scarboroughdude for some of his original reminiscences of Leave It To Beaver and the evolution of the 50's family sitcom to where it is today. Such shows endured in syndication to where I eve saw them for years while growing up in the 70s.

Scarborough Dude has his own podcast which can be found at www.dicksnjanes.blogspot.com ever week.

Best Episode Ever 22 - Hogan's Heroes

This episode features special guest host: Dave Brodbeck who podcasts at Tangential Convergence and can be found on Twitter @dbrobeck.

Heroes, heroes, husky men of war, sons of all the heroes, of the war before.
We're all heroes up to our ear o's,
You ask the questions, we make suggestions,
That's what we're heroes for.

All good heroes love a nifty fight,
Open up the bomb bays, brighten up the night.
We earn laurels solving your quarrels,
You throw the roses, we punch the noses,
That's what we're heroes for.

What's a hero do? We're never gonna tell ya
Cause we wish we knew.
That's why we heroes are so few.
We've got a slogan, from Colonel Hogan,
And Colonel Hogan's a hero too.

Never flinch, boys, never be afraid,
Heroes are not born, boys, heroes all are made.
Ask not why, boys, never say die, boys,
Answer the call, remember we'll all be heroes forever more.

Best Episode Ever 21 - Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

"In the year 1987, at the John F. Kennedy Space Center, NASA launched the last of America's deep space probes. The payload, perched on the nose cone of the massive rocket, was a one-man exploration vessel - Ranger 3. Aboard this compact starship, a lone astronaut - Captain William "Buck" Rogers - was to experience cosmic forces beyond all comprehension. An awesome brush with death: in the blink of an eye, his life support systems were frozen by temperatures beyond imagination. Ranger 3 was blown out of its planned trajectory into an orbit a thousand times more vast, an orbit which was to return the ship full circle to his point of origin - its mother Earth - not in 5 months, but in 500 years."
