Telehell

Today, we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of "I Love Lucy" by celebrating (I guess?) the 40th anniversary of Lucille Ball's TV Swan Song...If by "Swan Song", you mean the sound it makes as it's liver is being turned into Pâté.

WWOR-TV, we hardly Knew 'Ye...then again, that might've Already happened 25+ years before you Officially became a FOX clone.

Yes, we admit it, our next show is gonna be late (But don't worry, "Life With Lucy" WILL Happen Next week). To make it up to you, we kill time by "Reading the Phonebook" of TV Knowledge; as we look at a list TV Guide put out over 30 years ago and see if any of it holds up. BONUS: If you can make it through the whole thing, we will tell you about the rest of the shows we're doing this Calendar Year...

I'm too tired to type up anything witty; we sat through the Emmys, we recapped it, we had to hear Captian Benson Sing; and here now is the result of sacrificing my sleep cycle!

IN THIS UPDATE: *My Health *The Emmys *Life With Lucy *Telehell-O-Ween *A NEW Telehell Game Show (Coming Soon)

SPECIAL: I work a Hard 1-show-per Month; I think it's time that I took a break from things (HOLD FOR SARCASTIC EYE ROLL). So today, we're going to go on a Road Trip to see as much of The USA as we possibly can in under 2 hours by looking at moments when LOCAL TV failed just as much as Network TV did; Here's the Road Map: 0:00 - Intro 7:00 - The REAL WKRP-FM (and is the TV Show the ONLY Successful...

For years, this 1985 TV Movie was considered one of the Holy Grails of Lost Media; two years after it's been found, me and an outer-worldly visitor (SPECIAL GUEST: Kevin " Kev The Ripper " Noble) use the movie to--hopefully--reignite the fires of Hell...and also see if Gary Coleman should've fired his agent after this.

PREVIEW: Well, This moment HAD to happen at some point; but as it turns out, our Next Episode is SO Large in size/scope that we completely forgot to write the segment that sets up the thing we'll be reviewing (and there was no space in the episode to put it in seemlessly). So to pre-emptively get that out of the way, here's a short primer on what we'll be reviewing IN 2 WEEKS with a Special guest....

A few words about--Without ANY QUESTION--The GREATEST TV Sitcom Director of All time...

So...Yeah...we're a little behind schedule (Sinatra was right "Ridin' High in April...Shot Down in May"). But fear not, Ladies & Gentledemons, the Next episode WILL Drop Next Week. In the meantime, please enjoy this burst of Universe-building...

A few short words about one of the few Media Titans that I actually Liked & Admired...

SPECIAL: Thanks to my hobby of collecting off-air VHS tapes, I was able to find something that has not been heard (or seen) in nearly 20 years. The University of Wisconsin' Varsity Marching band performing a Medley of classic TV theme songs...How many of them can YOU Name? SUPER SPECIAL THANKS to David Rerecich of the long-dormant, but much-missed TeeVee Games on Youtube for selling me this moment...

WE'RE BACK, BABY! And we come back with one of the more unusual relics of the 1980s. If you thought the Anti-Drug movement of the decade started with Nancy Reagan & "Just Say No"; a disgraced movie producer & 90+ stars of the day led the way first with a misguided message (By the way, I'm aware of the Irony of posting this on/around "420", so don't bother pointing that out). ALSO STARRING: Kierste...

So, I did a thing...with a little help from Technology (Consider this my "Coming Out" to the use of A.I.) Yes, I used Suno to make this (and have FULL BROADCAST RIGHTS/PERMISSIONS to Post it); but I DID Write the Lyrics & Added my own SFX. And yes, the title card is A.I. too. Otherwise, I'm stunned that it turned out the way that it did...Enjoy! ALL (other) COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED

Our FINAL Remastered show re-asks the question; Does "My Mother the Car" TRULY Deserve to be the #2 show ranked on TV Guide's "Worst TV Shows of All time" list? Or (not unlike most restoration jobs) did it only need just a minor tune up before rolling off the assembly line? Our Next NEW Show will drop some time in April, followed by a new show Each Month (except for Theme Months) going forward...T...
