• Episode 540--On Our Own
    Feb 20 2025

    In a podcast first, we found a premise so flimsy that it almost broke the three of us...and this was deemed as okay to air during the family hour (and later on TGIF) on ABC?!

  • Episode 537--The New Odd Couple
    Feb 10 2025

    As we have said time and time again, a good format for a TV show never really dies, it goes away for a time and returns with a new twist. In this case, the timeless Neil Simon play The Odd Couple went from the Broadway stage to the big screen, then to the small screen with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.

    Feb 3 2025

    "The Big Game" is coming up this Sunday. By coincidence, this installment is about a Disney made-for-TV movie centered around one of this year's "Big Game" participants, the Philadelphia Eagles. What happens when Tony Danza goes from being a garbageman to the team's place kicker? It's an ending only Hollywood could write in more ways than one.
