On this week's show, Mark Blevis [@markblevis] serves up a buffet of memories from one of his favourite shows of the 1980s and his best episode ever from that show.
Welcoming Shane Birley of numerous podcasts, blogging and other writing exploits which you can all find at his website shanesworld.ca.
This week with special guest Todd VanDerWerff from The Onion Empire's AV Club, who recently started unpacking this series on their own site. Todd also does his own podcast called TV On The Internet and can be found on twitter @tvoti.
Happy to welcome pop culture afficionado and fellow podcaster Tom Merritt to this episode. You can find most of what he does at tommerritt.com. He graces us this week with an oft-forgotten 80's television memory.
A concluding look at the great SCTV, whose list of players, characters, and sketches brings back so many memories I couldn't fit it into one episode. I spent two hours watching SCTV YouTube clips after recording this.

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.
For all the times I have said, I wish my life was a 70's Saturday morning.
With guest host Mike Vardy @mikevardy.
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit.
These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
Thanks to Dave Brodbeck for chiming in on the two-part epic that shall be Best Episode Ever's recollection of Star Trek: The Original Series.
