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.
Joined by Bob LeDrew of The King Cast podcast and talking a show that JUST qualifies in our retro time period from Farpoint Station in 1987... or should I say Tanagra from a couple of years later?
Special guest Jaime Weinman @weinmanj talks about his love of WKRP in Cincinnati, which is a great callback to the first ever episode of the Best Episode Ever podcast.
A new season, a new format, and special guest Jim Henshaw (@DecencyLegion) talking about his best episode ever.
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.
Spider-man, Spider-man
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size.
Catches theives just like flies.
Look out!
Here comes the Spider-man.
Is he strong? Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look over head.
Hey there,
There goes the Spider-man.
In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime,
Like a stream of light
He arrives just in time.
Spider-man, Spider-man,
Friendly neighborhood Spider-man.
Wealth and fame, he's ignored.
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang-up.
Wherever there's a hang-up,
You'll find the Spider-man.

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.
