1985: NBC Thursday Night Lineup


Listen Later

Kicking off 1985 is Brad's choice: the original NBC Must See Thursday night lineup. We go back to a better time for network TV after The Cosby Show had revitalized NBC. Its success made hits out of both Family Ties and Cheers. Completing this magical lineup was Night Court. NBC dominated the ratings with these shows and young Brad and Pete were taking notice. Unfortunately, with no NBC, Giff was not.

We took the four episodes that aired on November 7, 1985, and we watched them all. How do they hold up today? Can we watch The Cosby Show the same way we used to? Which shows surprisingly tackled issues you'd never expect? We answer all these questions and more. We also get into our favorite shows from the time. Spoiler Alert: "Streaks on the china!" Join us at the water cooler for this one of a kind episode.

If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts app or wherever you listen, follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook, and most importantly, tell a friend to listen!
