Breaking Mayberry

The boys start a new tradition, watching the Thanksgiving episodes of the beloved war dramedy MASH... what's that you say? There aren't any Thanksgiving episodes of MASH?

...

The boys start a new tradition, painfully burrowing their way through a Thanksgiving episode of the much-hated and forgotten spinoff AfterMASH, featuring the worst possible choices all around. Dig in!

The failed Backdoor Pilot from the Six Million Dollar Man asks, what if there was like, a computer in your brain, man? The answer is, it would suck! But also some other weird stuff would be like, way better than that.

Look we didn't want to do this one but circumstances forced our hand. We're talking about the Ron Howard-directed Hillbilly Elegy, a movie that Ron Howard is too stupid to understand is political.

We all know that JD Vance's memoir is bullshit but would it surprise you to know it's also mean-spirited and it sucks ass? It wouldn't, because you listen to this show, but listen to us talk about it anyway.

Marty and Dan go back to Hazard County to revisit the Duke boys and their new, laid-back friend, Jude Emery. We get a narrator of our very own, name as many country singers as possible, and learn too much information about Marty's car.

Special thanks to Grant. You'll see why.

The day has finally come - we're talkin' Doo. We discuss the weird place of Scooby Doo in popular culture, horniness, 80's rock band dynamics, horniness again, Jack Kirby, and the weird current state of the series. Marty gets really mad. 

You can find 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo on Tubi. Don't worry about the other one.

We've got Grant from Chip & Ironicus, Six Feats Under, and WSKRS, here to tell us about a show his father loves but can't remember the name of.

We're covering The Amazing Race, CBS' not-quite-a-juggernaut world-crossing reality competition.

BACKDOOR LOVERS is back with another failed spinoff pilot!

This time it's FORCE SEVEN, a tale of ninjas, Teamsters, and racist puppets that spins off of... hmmm... hold on, I've got it somewhere... oh well, who cares what show this is spinning off of? FORCE SEVEN certainly doesn't! It's its own thing, baby!

Parental Control is back with a new season of mom-and-dad shows. Dan's brother Max stops by to discuss a sitcom that only Mom Ludwig remembers, with a theme song out of Sondheim and one of the most bizarre plots we've ever seen on TV.

Hey look we brought someone on that actually knows anything about The Andy Griffith Show, it only took us six years or so.

We cover Season 5, Episodes 31 and 32 - "Opie and the Carnival" and "Banjo-Playing Deputy."
