Episode 105 - Steve and Dave Will Bust Jon From the Sequel

Again, some of my 'clever' titles are better than others.

Special thanks to friend of the show Chris Cooling who went down a rabbit hole with Steve.

Oh man, so much meta commentary on 70s detective shows. Oh, also, join the 70s detectives Facebook group, it's fun!

I love Hector Elizondo in everything he is in.  And that is a lot of stuff, everything from the West Wing to Rockford, hell, he was in a Rockford earlier in the series.

Wait, this one might not have been the right episode.  IMDB has one order, my DVDs have that same order, Steve's DVDs are in a different order.  Hmmm.

Lot's of Bob Newhart Establishing Shots™ this week.

Some good fun this week, and I think some of that is the show making fun of other shows.  I particularly am thinking of Starsky and Hutch.  The 'freeze turkey' line is very S and H.

A couple of weird bits of padding this week.

Not much in the way of news.

Hey, Jim got paid this week!

Episode 98 - 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.

Chris now joins Jeff and Anth as official friends of the show.  That list oddly includes Carlos the Jackal.

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!
