Those Were The Days

We're continuing our journey through classic Christmas TV this week with Garfield! Everyone's favorite, lovable, grouchy cat is back with his own take on Christmas and what it means. This show had so much humor and so much heart packed into a tight 22 minutes. Garfield is a national treasure and such a treat to watch during the Holiday season. Next week, we're finishing things out with the christm...

In the 1970s, the world was introduced to our favorite alien and an absolute cultural icon. Robin Williams starred as the simple and hilarious Mork from Ork in the classic sitcom, Mork & Mindy. Balancing out Robin Williams absolute chaos was the amazing Pam Dawber as Mindy. Mork brought the shenanigans while Mindy balanced everything out. Did we like the show? Is Robin Williams still our favor...

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? Of course we can! Not only did we go to this mythical neighborhood, but we went on Christmas Eve where we shared the joy of Christmas with all of our friends. Audie brought us this gem from 1978 and boy are we glad he did. Does Sesame Street hold up even as you approach your 40s? Maybe! Let's find out! Next week, Stephen is bringing us Mork & Mindy...

Travis leads us this week, taking us back to yet another cartoon created to sell toys. The 80s was a wild time, man. If you were a kid during that time, there was a pretty good chance that you got your hands on at least one M.A.S.K. toy, but maybe less of a chance that you actually watched this old cartoon. If you didn't, now is your chance! For those that want more M.A.S.K. in their lives, visit...

This week, Amy takes us to the 80s with She-Ra: Princess of Power! The answer to the boy-centric He-Man. She-Ra was a hero that definitely tried to set itself apart with a female protagonist that was just as strong and mighty as He-Man. I suppose they also wanted to sell more toys, but either way this show has stood the test of time. There was even a Netflix reboot recently. Did we like it? Stick...

This week, we cover one of the most memorable cartoons ever made. Or at least one with the catchiest, most memorable theme song. We go straight to Duckberg to talk all about Duck Tales! Uncle Scrooge, his three nephews, and a cast of other ducks all go on wacky adventures through this show and bring with them some wonderful moments. Duck Tales was a hurricane when it came barreling into our homes...

We're kicking off 80s cartoon month with a wild one that I don't think a lot of people even remember. Mostly because we've asked and there's a good portion of ya'll who had no idea what we were talking about. Until, of course, we watched it. This is one of those shows that hides itself deep in your memories and can only be recalled once you see it again. Lots of kids remember this from the Nick Jr...

Greetings, TV Friends! This week we tackled the TGIF juggernaut that was Boy Meets World. The somewhat modernized and far less dramatic version of The Wonder Years, starring Fred Savage's younger brother Ben Savage. This show covered all kinds of essential topics mandated by coming-of-age tales of boyhood including girls! Girls! And more girls? Yeah, there was a lot of that. But among that was a l...

We're continuing spooky season this week with the classic show, The Addams Family! Originally adapted from Charles Addams comic strip, this show captures the cartoonish world of The Addamses and brought us characters still cherished today. The original spooky family has been adapted over and over and never seems to lose its charm. We go back to the beginning to see what the original show looked li...

This week, we couldn't record a show so we're giving you a re-run! Enjoy this blast to the past from the past!

Amy walks us through season 3 episode 7 of this classic TV staple following a non-magic husb...

We go to a fairly recent classic show in this episode as we cover The Drew Carey Show! Drew Carey rose to prominence on the standup circuit in the early 90s and brings his oddball view of the world to this late 90s sitcom. Famous for some of its more ridiculous storylines and willingness to break the rules, this show was frequently in the top 30 shows on broadcast television during its run. This i...

On this episode of Those Were The Days, we go back to the late 80's and early 90's with Night Court! This sitcom, all about a group of people working a late shift at a courthouse, carried on some of our favorite traditions from sitcoms at the time. Grab an amazing ensemble cast and throw them into a setting that lends itself to madcap situations where anything can happen. Audie picked quite the ep...

We travel to the distant future this week with one of our favorite all time cartoons, Futurama! Probably one of the newest old things that we've ever covered, and we had a great time discussing what made this show so much fun. It was a clip show so we had a good ol' mashup of things that showed off what a normal episode might look like. We hope you dig it! Next week, we're kicking off Halloween ep...

The crew heads to San Francisco this week with a look at TGIF stalwart, Full House! A widower and his two friends try to raise three girls of varying ages while under the same roof. There was always going to be a lot of chaos, and this episode is no slouch on that! We dug into what makes this show so great and why we were all hooked on it as it became such a cultural phenomenon of the early 90's....

This week, Stephen navigates the complex humor and social dynamics of "All in the Family" with the episode "Lionel's Engagement." The episode brilliantly showcases the series' knack for addressing racial and societal issues through the personal lens of the Bunkers and the Jeffersons. As Lionel Jefferson announces his engagement, the episode delves into the nuances of acceptance and prejudice, seen...

This week the crew ventures up to Pittsburgh, PA where a small sitcom family invites a live-in DO-MES-TIC to make their lives easier. Did it work? We'll find out! This episode features some wild 80s opinions and attitudes that we all kind of forgot were ever a thing on national TV. When Wesley Owens, the youngest boy, decides to take up ballet, how will his sports nut dad take it? One can only gue...

Travis takes us to one of the most memorable cooking shows ever created. I don't know that it's even fair to call it a cooking show. It's more of a cooking culture show. It's a blend of Mr. Wizard, Mythbusters, and Yan Can Cook. Alton Brown is an extraordinary host, and is capable of keeping the attention of even the most nay-saying of naysayers. If you want to know how to make some tasty baby bac...

RERUN!! We'll see you back next week for a fresh episode! This week, we're going back to cartoons with Hanna-Barbera!

This week we went to Wacky Races, which pits some of these well known characters against each other in a race to the finish. Next Week, Audie wants us to watch The Jetsons! Send us...

** Rerun of Episode 32 It's time to meet up with everyone's favorite straight man, Bob Newhart!
