Single Season Record

Did "Weird" Al bring his own shirt? Has Chris Hayner been blacklisted by The Muppets? Should The Muppets do Entourage or Survivor next? All these questions and more are more asked than answered on this week's Single Season Record.

Sulia Altenberg has falen through the ceiling and into our studio, but first, let's explore some public domain music!   The times they are A-movin' right along. Moogin' right along? Look, we can't think of everything.

Matt Kawczynski is here to convince us Zoot and Lips are the funniest thing since sliced bread.

Harry Nelson doesn't know these Muppets but he's with us anyway, mostly for super producer Zedd who is a real person playing himself and not an invention of this show we swear!

The Muppets have their own wing here at Single Season Record they are so good at getting canceled. We're starting with their most recent failure, the awkwardly and maybe misleadingly titled The Muppets Mayhem from 2023. It's on Disney+!    

Only eight episodes in and Swans Crossing is challenging everything you think you know about television. Also contracts, elevators, phones, bikes, sinks, birds and the sun. Grab your shimfork and dig in!

Paris Hilton's lost BFF Nate Runkel is with us for MTV's Movie Life: House Of Wax, 5 episodes of promotional material for a movie you did not see. The rare one season show that failed on multiple fronts. We'll find out how much Paris Hilton loves animals, how much Nate loves Paris Hilton, how much Derick loves Elisha Cuthbert and how much Chad Michael Murray loves Christmas.

Somebody had to join us for the come down episode after 6 and it's Chris Hayner! Episode 7 has its own identity though and would really appreciate it if you stopped comparing it to episode 6.

Swans Crossing peaks way too early. So does television.

It's hard to say goodbye so we're prolonging the pain with an extra episode! We speak German, climb tall buildings, break up 20 year marriages and commit vehicular homicide. It really is the end of  My So-Called Life .

We were joking before, but now we really do have a Professor with us. It's Patrice Oppliger, PhD (for real this time) of Boston University  and we are wrapping up season 5 of Single Season Record with this Krakow-friendly episode. So, so Krakow friendly. Why do you make it so easy to say goodbye, My So-Called Life ?

It's a weird episode and you'll probably find us all on your bed by the end.

Hulu can try, but My So-Called Life may prove unspoilable.

My So-Called Life moves into 1995 with a lot of self-improvement ideas it will never get the chance to follow through on. And not just because it only has a few episodes left.

It's Christmas time and My So-Called Life is here to bum you out.

It's Sesame Street vs. The Ramones and the winner is, as always, Danielle Chase.    

You gotta keep your eye on the prize, whether that prize is a comet or a dumb idiot with soft hair.

Is it a lack of self-esteem that leads to us posting a second show dedicated to episode 12 of My So-Called Life ? Or is it an abundance of it?   Before Ashley Lyle cerated Yellowjackets , she watched My So-Called Life a million times and this is her favorite episode. So we mostly make her think about the score, which is the one thing about this show she's never thought twice about.

All Buffalo Tom wanted to do was gear up for their opening spot on the Lemonheads tour and now they will only be remembered for getting Jordan and Angela together. More importantly though: math tests.

What is love? (Brian don't hurt me.) It's a Brian Krakow takeover and Nate Runkel is here to work out some of his own stuff. Tipper Newton doesn't remember much but maybe that's just the brain protecting itself. Questionable music choices, terrible ADR and more Brian Krakow than anyone ever wanted in their lives. It's My So-Called Life Of Brian !

This episode drew the DeGrassi card and now we all believe in Tarot.

It's Halloween! And you can be anything you want to be and you chose disaffected ghost.

With third host Hilary Woodward back again you'd think we'd be able to stay on topic better. That topic being Sharon's father and his heart, not Claire Danes v. Bob Iger and whether children should even be allowed on television.

Carrie Gillogly, PhD, MSCL and television writer Richard Monahan join us this week to explore the inadequacies of the Pittsburgh school system and the general act of being annoying in the 90s.

This may be the worst episode of My So-Called Life , but don't worry, Derick makes up for it by bringing up Robin Hood : Men In Tights a lot. Like a lot .   @ThatsSoLampy @KevynSchmidt @DerickArmijo @SingleSeasonTV   singleseasonrecord@gmail.com
