What You Missed When You Didn't Exist

Send us Fan Mail Lucy and Corbett talk about the Heaven's Gate cult and where it all ended back in the 90's.  Lots of cult talk, so if you are looking for advise on joining a cult, we don't have a lot to tell you, but plenty on the other side of that discussion.

Send us Fan Mail What days are worth living, if they are not all happy days?  Lucy and Corbett get to talk about the The Happy Days television show and a little bit of what the impact it had on TV.  We will certainly all remember where we were when they "jumped the shark".

Send us Fan Mail Nothing like a good fight after a big meal.  Corbett and Lucy are talking about the Geraldo show fight in 1988.  What happens when you put two polar opposite sides in the same room, someone throws a chair.  With Thanksgiving on the way it is time to put on the gloves and get ready for a traditional family get together.  TV was never this crazy, or maybe it was exactly this crazy.
