A Podcast About the TV Show Black Sheep Squadron
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.
Conrad directed this one.
This one is about supply.
This one is about profiteering.
This one is about capitalism in general.
Some nice Catch 22 references noticed by Steve.
Amateurs study tactics, professionals study supply.
This one is about scamming.
This one has a classic Black Sheep heist, which we all enjoy.
There's some really nice aerial footage this week.
As usual we have interlopers on 'Pappy's' island.
In some ways I consider this a series, or at least a season finale. The show's tone takes a hell of a turn shortly.
This episode is the final appearance of Anderson and TJ. We'll miss you guys.
Another decent season 2 episode.
That changes shortly, as season 2 gets weird in two episodes.
Wait, was that Battle of the Network Stars?
Either way Conrad got to take his shirt off...
Some nice misdirection to the audience.
'It tastes like wax'.
There's a reason for that Pappy.
Micklin and Dutch are pretty funny. Andy Micklin is always funny actually.
Once more we have decent Col Lard this season.
Tommy is Pappy in Wolves in the Sheeps' Pen
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.
P51!
This one is pretty much the poster child for 'don't lean your history from a tv show'.
As much as Steve and I love the P51 Mustang, Yamamoto was shot down by P38s.
I can see some real MASH connections this week, like two different episodes too!
I don't think Yamamoto was called the Hawk.
Andre Dawson was, however, the hawk.
Hal Holbrook, in a robe, in Midway.
TJ is a creep.
The Pacific War isn't thought of as one that displaced civilians, but it did.
Conrad directed this one!
A Corsair could never beat a Mustang.
Lard is pretty reasonable here, and General Moore has no idea what's going on.
SEASON 2!.
John Laroquette is really good in this one.
A bit heavy on the Orientalism this week.
Oh now it is officially called the Black Sheep Squadron.
Yup, we're back with more European theatre bombing runs passed off as Pacific, more useless brawls and more, let's face it, awesomeness from the Black Sheep.
"If Soon Teck Oh looked at me like that I'd volunteer too".
This is not the birth of the Kamikazes, but it's a good story.
I like the sort of mirroring they've done this time. We see that life on a Japanese base isn't that different than life on Lacava.
Wait, so in this universe there IS a a Vella Lavella.
Chaos theory butterfly stuff.
What's with Father John's accent? Why is Father John's accent? How is Father John's accent?
Gutterman is gone :-(.
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.
OK, not really, but, kinda? Anderson, gone. TJ gone. "Pappy's Lambs" in (blech) Jeb the eith year old pilot with feathered hai...
