Thursday Apr 06, 2023
This Sunday is Easter and we're not talking about cutesy-wootsy bunnies this year?! We're talking about someone who can revive the dead. Pushing Daisies was a critical darling but it couldn't come back from a fate worse than the death of a scripted show in 2008.

A few months ago, Greg & Chico covered the beginning of an era with "The Kissing Booth". The era continues as Elle & co. juggle senior year, long-distance relationships, college applications, and something that is similar to but legally distinct from Dance Dance Revolution. Pucker up as we talk about "The Kissing Booth 2."

Detective shows were big in the early 80s, see Cagney & Lacey, Simon & Simon, Magnum P.I., Hill Street Blues, and others. But what if one of them was a witch? Tucker's Witch tried that. In the end, CBS made it disappear.

We've reached another milestone, with the release of episode 350! The Slap isn't known for much more than the titular slap, delivered by Spock?! What the hell Zachary Quinto?

Monday Feb 13, 2023
Monday Feb 13, 2023
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and we're talking about a real-life finder of lost loves, who became the main character in this drama from 1984-5. The series is loaded with guest stars, which is unsurprising since this was an Aaron Spelling production.

Thursday Feb 02, 2023
We're nearing The Big Game and we're talking about a made-for-TV movie about a serial killer who takes out people associated with the two teams playing for it all. A star-studded cast struggles to make it to Super Sunday in the 1978 flick Superdome.

It's 1985 and ABC wants to capitalize on Cagney & Lacey and Hill Street Blues, which were big hits on other networks...but let's make them married! MacGruder and Loud premiered after "The Big Game" in 1985, but barely made it to Spring 1985.

It's the start of November and election time is around the corner. We felt it was appropriate to visit this relevant dramedy turned comedy with George C. Scott from FOX's early days.

Episode 309--Half Nelson
Monday Sep 26, 2022
Monday Sep 26, 2022
NBC might have made a big comeback in the mid-1980s, but there was one huge weakness for them--Friday nights at 9 PM against shows like Benson and Dallas. Half Nelson was another Friday at 9 victim, succumbing after a month and a half. But it had a lot of big names!

In honor of the start of High School and College Football, Greg and Chico look at the Pilot episode of "Friday Night Lights" from 2006 as they look at and examine the cast of characters that surround the Dillon Panthers football team.
Also, we're here for that Mack Brown cameo in the middle of the episode with Coach Taylor.
