a little sad we're not going to hear a discussion of Body Bags after the Christine episode talk surrounding figures like King and Hitchcock regarding their marketing presence. Carpenter is so good in it

I'm so glad Griffin discussed Science Court. A scene of that show discussing how black absorbs all light and determining someone's guilt has been stuck in my memory for years and forgot the source!

I wonder if the audio on that came out so garbagey it wasn't even worth putting out as a goof. Or was it always a goof.

Where's that peeper edition of the pod?

Just watched the Fog because of this series. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Everybody makes fun of See until they find out it’s a masterpiece

Three’s Company also aired on The early WB pre CW channel and I distinctly remember a day where three’s programming block made way for Sailor Moon.

Millennial Three’s Company fan reporting for duty! Nick @ Nite from the years of 2000-2002 apparently had sublime programming. As an 8 year old I got exposed to Three’s Company, Diff’rent Strokes, Facts of Life and Brady Bunch. I enjoyed these shows waay more than any of the sitcoms aimed at kids my age. These shows are colorful and zany and helped aid me in my feeling of connecting to the mysterious larger world of the adults.

Just makes me deeply happy whenever the boys talk Sifo-Dyas

How do I listen to the Someone's Listening To Me cut?

Annabelle’s favorite movie — “when a stranger calls BACK”

Just a heads up from a kid who was watching at the time: 8 is Enough wasn't a sitcom, it was a dramedy, at best. What's really interesting about this particular year is John Ritter going from playing the Parson on the Waltons to playing a straight pretending to be gay on Three's Company.

That happens to me a lot on this feed, I sometimes they forget that not all of the bonus episodes are commentaries. I like the non-commentary eps though!

I work on Chicago Med and joking about Streets and San is a running joke on set (Also Justice got canceled after one season. One too many haha)

I was 45 minutes into this episode before I realized it wasn't going to turn into a commentary episode.

As someone who was unable to watch SWM (not streaming anywhere where I am) I have to say I enjoyed this episode very much. Top quality tangents.

Glad to hear Griffin is watching The Puppet Masters. I got into those during quarantine and kept thinking it was a very Griffin friendly franchise... at least until it gets very Nazi heavy.
