How is a dectective named Dan Tanna, driving a '57 Thunderbird, working out of Vega$, not the coolest concept for a show?

A two-for-one mashup of shows that probably should never be torn asunder.

My mea culpa on not having a guest this week is followed by an episode I hope you enjoy about a bunch of short run series from the 70s and 80s that are oft-memorable and forgettable at the same time. A whole bunch of theme song goodness in this one thanks to YouTube.

A non-intentional podcast crafted from a conversation with Bob Goyetche before the last episode. I didn't realize we had so many retro television memories in common. I thought the conversation weaved into a life of its own.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!

Give us any chance, we'll take it. 
Give us any rule, we'll break it.
We're gonna make our dreams come true. 
Doin' it our way. 

Nothin's gonna turn us back now, 
Straight ahead and on the track now. 
We're gonna make our dreams come true, 
Doin' it our way. 

There is nothing we won't try, 
Never heard the word impossible. 
This time there's no stopping us. 
We're gonna do it. 

On your mark, get set, and go now, 
Got a dream and we just know now, 
We're gonna make our dream come true. 

And we'll do it our way, yes our way. 
Make all our dreams come true, 
And do it our way, yes our way, 
Make all our dreams come true 
For me and you.

"Here's to good friends.
Tonight is kind of special.
The beer we'll pour must say something more, somehow.
So tonight, tonight, let it be Löwenbräu.

It's been so long.
Hey, I'm glad to see ya.
Raise your glass.
Here's to health and happiness.
So tonight, let it be all the best."
