I Used To Watch This?

It’s our first sitcom on the podcast! This week we go to the Sunshine Cab Company to peek in on the lives of our favorite cabbies on the classic TV show Taxi. Alex, Bobby, Tony and Elaine are all cab drivers with bigger dreams. Well, I guess Alex is honest with himself that he’s a cabbie for life. They all have to deal with loud-mouthed Louie the dispatcher who is probably one of our favorite char...

This week we meet Starksy & Hutch, two tough cops working in a tough city. We don’t know what city it is but it’s tough, just look at it. Just so you don’t get confused, and people do in the show, Starsky is the one with the dark hair and giant sweater. Hutch is the other one. Got it? Someone put a hit out on these two and they have to figure out who and why. But is that what is really happeni...

This week we go back to where it all began for us, The Six Million Dollar Man. We are checking in on Steve in season three as his legs are damaged and he is whisked away to the Bionic Hospital where he spots Jamie! Was it really her? He was on a lot of drugs. Turns out, yes, Jamie did not die at the end of the last episode we watched. She was resurrected by the power of TV ratings, and with some h...

Magnum is back! This week we did something a little different, we watched a current TV show. It’s a reboot of the classic Magnum P.I. so we had no choice but to watch and discuss it. In this reboot Magnum has to help the family of a friend who was murdered, which is not too different than the original pilot. However, there are a lot more explosions this time around. Is Magnum the same without the...

Let’s finish up this movie. We left off with the last remaining humans on some space casino planet, but you could tell something sinister lurked underground, so to speak. Now we have to find out if the humans make it off the planet with out getting eaten by the insect people or just blown up by the Cylons. For some reason one of the human counselors who just saw their planets destroyed wants to la...

After their planets are destroyed, this rag-tag fleet of space ships heads out to find the mythical planet Earth. First they n...

We go back to see what The A-Team is up to this week. B.A. has been shot by somebody, Faceman is possibly responsible, but luckily they stumble upon some small town doctor who can help them. Of course they end up in jail (a theme here lately), escape, but  come back to help the sheriff fight off a motorcycle gang. Why is the motorcycle gang terrorizing the town? Why does it seem like this episode...

We are talking about Charlie’s Angels again this week. The Angels are undercover in a women’s prison farm where they spend time digging up potatoes, and information on a missing woman. Oh, and it turns out the people running the prison are evil and basically forcing woman into prostitution. Yes, it gets dark quick. But, thanks to some quick thinking on Jill’s part they manage to escape using those...

This week we meet  Jonathan and Jennifer on the Hart to Hart pilot. If you owned a giant conglomerate, and were super rich, what would you do with your time? Sail the south Pacific?

Smiles everyone! Here is our new episode! This week we are talking about the Fantasy Island pilot movie. Mr. Roarke and Tatoo are here to give the first guests of the series the fantasies they want. I guess you’d call them fantasies. None of these are fantasies either of your podcast hosts would ask for, not by a long shot. This movie is very dark and not at all like we remember, but it was still...

This week we go way back to 1968. Neither of us were born yet, but we knew we had to start Columbo from the beginning. Yes, this week we are talking about Columbo, Prescription: Murder. Columbo doesn’t have his wrinkled coat, and we don’t see the old Peugeot, but this is still the same guy. He is a little more direct here, but Columbo still has that quality were he can make the murderer thinks he’...

This week we go back in time to World War II. The Americans apparently only have one pilot, Steve Trevor, and he manages to get shot down over Paradise Island.

One woman has to bring Steve back to America and save the world from the Nazi’s. Princess Diana wins a...

Come aboard, we’re expecting you to listen to our new episode about The Love Boat.

If you have the money, and can find them, The A-Team might be able to help you out of a jam.
