No one demanded it but we're here nonetheless to celebrate a momentous occasion: the 41st anniversary of the original broadcast date (June 23, 1983) of the absolutely bonkers failed TV pilot Wishman!
When you hear the name Wishman, do you immediately think of a wish-granting genie? We did too, but oh how we were wrong. Instead we are presented with a bizarre Mac & Me-esque creature, with big eyes and gurgling vocals, who can control electricity when the plot dictates it. He's also a big pervert who likes spying on women in the shower and watching his adopted parents makeout.
We also get early hacking and A.I., a busy dad who doesn't appreciate his son's skateboarding skills, and the beautiful sight of a limp doll body being shoved in a giant sack of dog food.
And thanks to the generosity of Eternal Family (a site that we may have dreamed up) you too can enjoy this very misguided episode of television for free right now.

It's been a while but we're back (with an episode we recorded months ago)!
This week, we're covering a show that's been on our list for a while: Tequila and Bonetti! What might seem like a simple gruff cop/cute dog series is actually way weirder than we expected. This includes hearing the dog's overly horny thoughts, watching our hero play an entire song on piano while seeing a montage that mostly has no bearing on the episode, and listening to the police captain frequently talk about a script he's writing.
We also go long talking about all the other shows we want to cover on this podcast. So we've got content for years to come (we just have to record it).

Our next episode will drop on Monday, June 24 and it's a doozy.

This week marks a bold new direction for the show as we rebrand as the Belvedere Boyz and promise to cover all 117 episodes of 1980s sitcom Mr. Belvedere every week for the next two years. This is TOTALLY REAL and NOT A JOKE.
In this inaugural episode, we cover the pilot and discuss the titular butler's supernatural ways. We also talk about a particularly pivotal moment in the Mr. Belvedere mythos.
We hope you'll enjoy this new direction we're taking the show and will join us for the ride.

What's that? A new episode of the podcast? We've been away for a while and we discuss why before getting into the surprisingly sweet TV special Cathy's Valentine (trust us, we were surprised we liked it too).

Things get dark this week as we discuss a very special ALF Thanksgiving two-parter. Along the way, we rail against midwesterners for not liking veggie meatballs, we discuss a very Brooklyn boy living in Southern California, and we recite a special Thanksgiving hymn (that definitely everyone knows!).

Happy Halloween! This week, we welcome Megan Sunday to the podcast to discuss martial arts and devil worship while covering the extra spooky, extra satany Walker, Texas Ranger episode "The Children of Halloween." Exactly how many children does cult leader Lucifer need to sacrifice on Halloween night? How did he know how to build a sophisticated bomb? Why are there two Kate McKinnon characters in this episode? All that, plus Skinner's obsession with Tony Danza finally pays off (sort of).

This week on the show, we finally get around to covering the super sexy/supremely silly Silk Stalkings. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Harry" is a baffling Halloween episode that barely matters because it's all a dream, but gets even dumber with the more you think about it. Why exactly is this boss dreaming about his employees having sex with strangers? Why do the characters seem to have some understanding that they're in a dream? And what exactly was that movie he was watching? It's a ridiculous show that is easily one of the stupidest things we've ever covered and it's great fun.

For our first pocast of October and the 13th episode of the season, we're covering TWO episodes of Family Matters, both featuring Steve Urkel's evil dummy doppelganger Stevil! Neither episode is GOOD but there are a few fun moments, as well as a few bizarre choices by the creative team, including extended dummy dance numbers and standup sets.

This week on the show we're following Robert Englad from one nightmare to another as we cover Nightmare Cafe, an extremely short-lived series about a mysterious diner and some ghosts who are forced to work there. In this episode, the ghosts have to help a detective solve a murder that occurred either last year or 30 years ago. We also get some creepy sibling affection, some exaggerated drunk acting by one of the hardest working men in showbiz, and the most insane looking CG transformation ever committed to tape. Too bad the show kind of sucks.

Spooky Season has begun! To get things started right, we're back in Springwood to talk about Freddy's Nightmares. In "Do Dreams Bleed?" we meet a new killer called The Chopper, who, as his name suggests, likes to chop up folks with an ax. It's probably either the troubled football star or the weirdo coach, but the episode doesn't seem to care and neither should we. Along the way, we see a real-life Barbie Dreamhouse kitchen, a basement freezer capable of holding three dead musicians, and a constant reminder to take our medicine. This show always delivers and this episode is no different.

It's with a heavy heart that we we end our Summer Knights series with this episode and bid a fond farewell to Garthe and Goliath. Unfortunately, it's in a rather boring episode. But thankfully there's some good stuff sprinkled throughout, like Dr. Adrienne wanting to test out Garthe and Michael's Knight Sticks to see who she likes better, Kitt doctoring audio clips like a political operative, and a drowning truck screaming like a dinosaur. We'll miss you, Garthe. We'll miss you, Goliath.
Programming note: We're taking the month of August off but we'll be back in early September with the start of the Spooky Season!

After last episode's patriotic diversion with Greatest American Hero, we're back with our Summer Knights series to begin our final battle against Garthe and Goliath. Somehow, Goliath has returned and so has Garthe, sporting a great big bushy beard. This episode has more excitement and energy than both of our previous Knight Rider episodes combined, and Hasselhoff seems to be giving it his all playing Garthe this time around. And there's a bizarre plot involving blood transfusions that also transfer memories (?) but really it's just an excuse to have another doppelganger.

Since it's American Independence Day, we wanted to take a break from our Summer Knights series to honor a real American Hero, perhaps the GREATEST American Hero. That's right, we're talking all about The Greatest American Hero, a goofy show that's actually a lot better and more fun than we were expecting. In this episode, we kick things off with some ninjas attacking a Polish clown and only get wackier from there. Along the way, we wonder how old the high school kids are in Ralph's class, question whether Ralph really needs to constantly take his clothes off to use the suit's powers, and wonder if Bill is gonna have a heart attack from how worked up he always is. We even get a little political. It's a good one, folks!

Our Summer Knights series continues this week, as we check in with Michael and Kitt to see if they can stop Michael’s evil doppelgänger Garthe and the “banana-headed bovine” known as Goliath. We discuss further missed story opportunities, bad AI-written scripts, and how everything you want from an “evil twin” episode happens off-screen.

The temperature is heating up outside so we're taking a drive with Michael Knight and his robot car Kitt in our Summer Knights series. All summer long, we'll be discussing Knight Rider, specifically the episodes featuring Michael's pseudo half brother Garthe Knight (also played by David Hasselhoff wearing a mustache and tiny soul patch). In out discussion of part 1 of "Goliath," we discuss the Hoff's dual acting role, his coworker Devon's absolute ineptitude in the face of danger, and what exactly Wilton Knight was doing trying to adopt a 31-year-old man.
We'll be back in a few weeks with part 2 of our discussion of "Goliath!"

To tie into the recent Super Mario movie release, we decided to cover the early 90s Super Mario World cartoon. The Mario segment is a little boring, even though we have some fun discussing the the weird diversions the creators decided to take from the standard games. The real gem here, though, is the Captain N: The Game Master segment that comes in the second half of the episode. It's a wild 11 minutes, with a surprising guest star, an evil robot AND an evil clock, an Urkel ripoff, and a princess who just wants her dad to come back. It's something.

This week on the show, we're back with another early 2000s action show with a woman protgonist: Sheena, starring three-named actors Gena Lee Nolin and John Allen Nelson. This episode, titled "Divas of the Jungle," features a whole list of things that make you go "Ehhhhhhh," including a character who spouts every homophobic snipe the writers could think of and the most sideboob ever seen in a basic cable TV show. Plus: QUICKSAND!

We're kicking off a month of discussing early 2000s syndicated action shows featuring women protagonists with Relic Hunter, an incredibly dumb (but fun!) show starring Tia Carrere. The episode in question, "The Book of Love," features an extremely popular Italian soccer star looking for Casanova's famous sex diary for reasons that aren't incredibly clear. Along the way, we get flailing food fights, statue seduction, irritating innuendos, and the longest opening credits in television history.

We're still hanging out with NightMan in Bay City for the return of walking Christian Slater clone Space Face in episode Bad to the Bone. This is a bad episode of a bad television show which completely undercuts any sense of dramatic tension by dumping a 3 minute "previously on" segment at the beginning. Shapeshifting villain Space Face wants to frame Johnny Domino for murder but it's unclear why, since the last time he was around he wanted to kill Johnny's dad and Lt. Dann and doesn't seem to remember they exist this episode. Also, apparently the NigthMan suit is super easy to operate? So basically anyone could be NightMan? Cool.

It's our first episode of 2023 and we're heading to Bay City for the entire month to finally discuss the long-forgotten syndicated comic book show Nightman. This episode has all the terrible hallmarks you'd hope for from a late 90s cheaply-made superhero TV show: bad greenscreening, an overacting villain, a nonsensical revenge plot, and an absolutely insane cameo (seriously, do not look it up if you don't already know - we'll tell you all about it). Nightman is an absolutely stupid show and we're so excited to discuss it.
