Geek Mentality

Na-Nu Na-Nu Everyone! It's the last Wednesday of the season and today I watched a first season episode of Mork & Mindy from 1978 on YouTube . We get Robin Williams in all his glory as Mork experiences his first Christmas with Mindy, Mindy's father and grandmother...and Morgan Fairchild? Yup, I have no recollection of her being on the show but she in fact was! Until tomorrow!

Good Tuesday Sitcom Fans! I've added another piece to the puzzle that is this year's theme song by watching a 1987 episode of Webster that you can watch for free right now on Pluto.tv . Webster was always an okay show, but this episode was extra special because it featured some real television royalty on it (at least in my book) - though the actor I am talking about didn't get the obli...

Good news, everyone! I'm back again on my final Monday of this year to talk about the AMAZING animated sitcom, Futurama. I came late to this show, not watching it during it's original run - but I am so thrilled to have finally smartened up watched every episode (so far - because it's coming back again !)

Ay Oh, Oh Ay! Happy Sunday everybody! I'm back talking Christmas television and once again I am not doing it alone as I am joined by a Geek Mentality regular - my good friend since high school, Eric . We talk Who's the Boss, TV moms, and whatever pops into our heads. We also answer the age old question - who IS the boss? (Psst….It's Angela.)

Cool. Cool Cool. Cool Cool Cool Cool. This show - Brooklyn Nine-Nine - I feel like is one of the most underrated comedies of the last decade. But those of us who watched it know how fantastic it was! And if you're living a life where you don't understand what title refers too, well you're just not doing it right....Title of your sex tape.

Happy Friday Dunderheads! After 16 days, we've finally hit a series that was covered on Christmas Even last year . And yes I said "WE" because for the first time this year, I have a guest host talking Christmas television with me! Today, my friend Chris and one of my co-hosts over at Fine Movies. Fine Spirits. is joining me to talk about a FINE episode of The Office.

And then there's day 15! After watching a lousy clip show yesterday I am thrilled to come back with a GREAT episode of a sitcom that I just did not know enough about! Another show that I need to put in the watchlist....And I have to say it - Bea Arthur is a tremendous sitcom actor. Tremendous.

Hi there. Welcome back, welcome back welcome back! It's day 14 and I've been wanting to do this episode since day one....but then I watched it and it was a lousy clip show! Still fun as hell to watch, but not very Christmasy at all.... Signed, Epstein's Mother .

Happy Tuesday TV nerds! Today (or tonight I guess) I am here talking about a season 1 episode of a television classic, Bewitched. I haven't thought too much about it yet in comparison of the other shows, but I am thinking that this might be my favorite episode so far. Probably because we got to see Santa - yes the REAL Santa. Oh I know he made quick visit to see Gilligan before leaving them al...

Another week, another Monday, and another Christmas sitcom episode. This time I am going back to the 70s to the (dare I say underrated?) police station sitcom, Barney Miller. This show was not one I watched a bunch of as a kid - and it was so great! Another show I need to go back and rediscover. See you tomorrow!

Happy Sunday dudes and dudettes! While I was born in the 1970s, I definitely was not a child of the 70s - definitely more the 80s (grammar school) and 90s (high school and college) - but that didn't stop me from loving this show when it first premiered...back in the 90s. Most of the main cast have gone on to have some great careers - and then there is that one fella who was doing pretty good u...

Happy Saturday you big dummy! Tonight I watched a 1975 episode of Sanford and Son and I am better for it. Sure it was another Christmas Carol spoof, and sure there was no Grady, but we still had Redd Foxx throwing insults left and right while learning the true meaning of Christmas - so it is all worth it.

Happy Friday Everybody! Today I am here talking about a show that I always enjoyed as a kid, but really was a fairly generic sitcom when you think about it. However, I did find this episode interesting for a couple reasons – but you’re going to have to listen before you find out what those are! Oh, and before you listen you can actually watch this episode for free on DailyMotion . Yes, DailyMotion...

This episode should be called "How to make anything a Christmas episode without much effort." The reason I say this is - even though I enjoyed the episode, it was barely a Christmas episode. It had its Christmas-y moments, but it was more a "let's use some of that old footage we have" episode. And by old footage I mean months old - because this is still the first season!

These episode titles really aren't that original this year so far. Yesterday was "A Christmas Story" while today is just "Christmas Story?" I mean I guess it gets to the point without giving anything away - not that there was much mystery or intrigue to give away. You can watch this episode of Mr. Belvedere yourself on YouTube. I also mentioned a "Final Taping" BTS vide...

Wait, did you think I was going to miss a day? Don't be ridiculous! Of course I'm here talking Christmas sitcoms again! Today I take you back to 1986 for a Christmas celebration with Balki and his cousin Larry. There's laughs! There's tears! There's a terrible snow special effect I forgot to mention on the episode! You can watch this (and every) episode of Perfect Strangers on...

If you take the good, but then take the bad - and then in fact if you take them both? Well hell, then you have the Facts of Life....I used to love this show as a kid, though I never understood how the Drummonds' housekeeper was qualified to be the housemother to an all girls school (nor how that school only had four students after the first season). But who cares!? That's television bay-ba...

Four days in and we already have another "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" episode title? At least I can say this one came first as we go way back to 1955. Back when my parents were still little kids. Back to watch a truly legendary show - The Honeymooners! This episode was aired LIVE on Christmas Eve a nd just like last time you can watch this episode on Youtube !

Here we are, face to face...or I guess voice to ear? Welcome back to SITCOM ALL YE FAITHFUL everybody where today I watched an episode of Silver Spoons from back in 1982 - decades before we would learn that Ricky Schroeder is out of his mind. Anyway, this episode has it all! Joey Lawrence! That train we all love! And Santa in a cave! And, as of right now anyway, you can watch it on Youtube !

Welcome back to day two of "Sitcom All Ye Faithful" - where today I went all the way back to 1986, back when I was just a chubby 10 year old still holding on to his dreams of being a tap dancing doctor (true story). I forgot how much I loved the Golden Girls - just like I forgot what it was like to not know how to tap dance and also not be smart enough to even think about medical school. B...

Happy Holidays sitcom lovers and welcome back to another year of "Sitcom All Ye Faithful" - a Christmas Podcast special right here at Geek Mentality. Every day in December through Christmas Day will feature a new podcast covering Christmas/Holiday episode from some of history's favorite sitcoms...And some that maybe only a few people (like me) liked. I had this who plan to open up this...

Greetings from the third dimension and welcome back to JAWGUST everybody....Like last year (and next year) I am only doing ONE day of Jawgust for these sub-par (to terrible) sequels. Anything more than that would be disrespectful to the classic original. Today I watched the not all-together bad (nor original) idea, but terribly executed, JAWS 3-D ....in 2-D.

And here we are once again - the end of another month-long celebration of movies. Some great. Some okay. Some Eternals. But for this final entry in year 9 - and movie 270 all-time, I wanted to go out on a biggie....And a longie.

I have a feeling if I told these guys that I was watching their movie on hump day, they would be quite pleased. Also, I feel like it would be irresponsible of me to not use the word "bunghole" once in this post. And there it is.

Happy Tuesday movie nerds! Today I watched the latest Guillermo del Toro movie on HBO Max, and after a couple days of movies I was not too high on, it was great to be back to something I can say I really enjoyed. Listen on if you've seen it (it's on HBO Max) but download either way so I look big and important.
