This week's diversions:
Bob - Salvage 1... sci-fi with Andy Griffith
Dave - Howard Cosell... "Down goes... you know."
Anth - 40 years of M*A*S*H
Plus... the six degrees of Match Game!
This week Anthony (@anthonymarco) is joined by Bob Goyetche (@bobgoyetche) and Dave Brodbeck (@dbrodbeck) as permanent co-hosts. Each week, each co-host will bring their own retro TV memory for discussion and dismemberment.
This week's schedule includes:
Bob bringing The Muppet Show
Dave bringing Shogun and the Epic Miniseries
Anth bringing 70's Superhero television's impact on the superhero genre
Talking about some of the most iconic cars that graced the small screen from the 1950s to the 1980s. Remember when cars were almost characters... besides KITT that is.
Another "I Can't Believe I Haven't Done This Show Already" moment this week with a show that was syndicated all through my childhood. Great theme, great kitsch, great guest stars all translated into the most fun caped crusader ever.
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.
What do you get when you mix Eastwood's Firefox with a liberal dash of Scheider's Blue Thunder and a lead charcter who's half Batman, half Michael Knight?
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.
I'm joined by Mike Vardy (@mikevardy) as we discuss our fav 5 retro Christmas specials that we still watch today. Happy Holidays!
