My first Fav list podcast for Best Episode Ever. Inspired by a Twitter exchange with frequent listener, critic, and fellow podcaster @scarboroughdude, I present my Top Ten Fav Sitcoms of all-time. This list is strictly personal and not based on any merit other than my personal reflection. That said, I welcome your input through comments, email or twitter.
Today's episode contains the following themes:
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.
Star Trek Theme
(lyrics for those who didn't believe me)
Beyond the rim of the starlight,
my love is wand'ring in star flight.
I know he'll find
In star clustered reaches
Love, strange love
A starwoman teaches.
I know his journey ends never.
His Star Trek will go on forever.
But tell him while
He wanders his starry sea,
Remember,
Remember me.
Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.
But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....
Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
