Episode 34 - Steve and Dave Forbid You From Watching This One

OK, not really, but, kinda?

Anderson, gone.

TJ gone.

"Pappy's Lambs" in (blech)

Jeb the eith year old pilot with feathered hair, in (blech)

This was obviously done to go after younger people and the jiggle tv market.

It didn't work.

Many of these people cannot act.

Micklin is at least a bit funny.

I just hate that this was done to my show.... (that's how I felt then, I mean now, I'm an adult, I will live, I've managed to move on).

Oh yeah, night fighters etc, sure.

Episode 31 - Daves in the Steve Pen

Just substituting names is the lowest level of clever title.

TIM MATHESON!

Boy the wolf thing got really old, really fast.

Interservice rivalry was a thing, still is.

Remember these guys are mostly just draftees.

Steve found a nice recording for this week.

Jon will not be Fonzieing™ this podcast.

I wonder why they are invading the Thousand Islands.  Maybe they needed salad dressing.

Micklin is great in this one.  Lots of fun lines.

In keeping with early season 2, Lard is not that bad here.

Oh I forgot to mention during the recording that the stuff at the end is a report from the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Episode 27 - Special Episode - Christmas in Retro TV Land


It's between seasons.

It's the Christmas season.

We're doing a Christmas show, if you don't like it, well, first off, bah humbug, secondly, what did you pay for the podcast?

Steve, Jon and I welcome some guests this episode:

Those guests are, in no particular order: 

Anthony Marco from Best Episode Ever.

Jeff Andrews from the 70s TV Detectives.

Chris Cooling from the Forgotten TV podcast.

All three now join my brother Dan from the We Have the Technology Podcast as official friends of the show.

We heated up a Swanson TV dinner, gathered around the 7 foot long cabinet tv, that Pete Campbell will tell you, is a beautiful piece of furniture that Wilt Chamberlain could lie down in (As Kenny Cosgrove reminds us, why would he?) and talked about a time before Jon was born.

Thanks to Anth, Jeff and Chris!

Episode 26 - Special Episode, 1978 in Television

It's between seasons 4 and 5 of Rockford.

It's between seasons 1 and 2 of Baa Baa Black Sheep.

That means it's 1978!

We decided to invite a couple of our friends on to tap about 1978 in tv, including Best Episode Ever's Anthony Marco and the 70s Detectives' Jeff Andrews.

Boy NBC sucked then.

Lots of stuff sucked then.

Jon reminds us that WKRP did start then!

Habs won the cup, so there's that.

Mostly we just hope you liked our little trip down memory lane.  Might be another soon, before moving on to Season 5 of Rockford and Season 2 of Black Sheep.
