Telehell

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: We look back at Season 1; and if you listen carefully, get a sneak preview of Season 2--all while our Boss breathes down our neck about it. VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Adam Carrizales & Joan Bishop for lending their voices to this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SEASON FINALE: This season would not be complete without looking at something that makes me vomit on the inside. How far would You be willing to go just to win a buck? If it means sacrificing your dignity and self respect, then have I got a Show for You! CAUTION: Language Advisory Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There have been a fair share of Stupid Emmy Moments over the years; but none of them compare to probably THE most unnecessary gimmick the awards show has ever greenlit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Say you're a popular TV show and two of its biggest stars leave in a pay dispute; what would you do to keep the show going? You hire clones of the Original, of course, and hope nobody is stupid enough to know the difference! What could Possibly go Wrong? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ah, the 1950s...where Steak could be considered "Breakfast", Smoking was considered "Satisfying", and people smeared radioactive dirt on people's faces just to sell makeup remover...The good ol' days, right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What discussion of Bad TV would be complete without talking about  the single most Expensive series/failure of all time (at the time). All Aboard for a trainwreck! CAUTION: Language advisory Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For those expecting us to talk about "Supertrain", don't worry, that's coming next week. But between flying to see relatives, catching a sinus infection on the flight over and catching up on work in general, the delay was unavoidable. To make it up to you, I would like to present something from my personal archives; a Rando conversation I had with Jimmie "JJ" Walker from "Good Times" c2008--To dat...

Even Hell--let alone Telehell--has its limits. With that, here is a list of things that we cannot, will not, and will probably NEVER Review (Unless in certain circumstances)...or at least the ones we can think of off the top of our heads Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Story of a shoe that was so popular, that it tried to convince people that if you wore the competitor's shoe, you would die a horrible death...Key word being "Tried" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

NEW EPISODE: 16 years after the last ripoff of "Fawlty Towers", John Larroquette tries to avoid the mistakes that Bea Arthur made--even going so far as to get John Cleese's permission to do it--But do we get a well run hotel this time, or is this another place with stains on the mattress?

We're glad that Domino's Pizza has turned a corner in recent years...but even THEY had to ask "What were we Smoking" when they came up with their mascot from the year 2000. Gather 'round, children for the tale of Bad Andy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we take a look at one of the two most blatant ripoffs in TV history; as after "Maude", but before "Golden Girls", Bea Arthur tries to show off an impression of Basil Fawlty.

It's a good thing that Burger King is tying in with the new season of Stranger Things; because their OTHER promotion from 1985 fared as well as victims in the Upside Down. Our first Minisode takes a look at the infamous "Herb" campaign. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To quote David Letterman; "THIS IS NOT A PROMO, THIS IS THE ACTUAL SHOW!" Our maiden voyage into Telehell takes a look at a show that was such a critical and ratings flop in its first episode, that the 2nd episode was a 30 minute apology (Let’s see MTV do that today). Jackie Gleason’s one and only foray in hosting a game show, You're In The Picture is our first subject…   Don't Forget to LIKE, COM...

Well folks, the time for Teasing has come to an end.
