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!

We're doing episodes of "It's A Living" from Seasons 1, 2, and 3, all of which are basically different shows!

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.

We're back to Backdoor Lovers, the series about failed spinoff attempts!
This time around, it's early-00's witch-core hit Charmed, a show that does not care if it gets a spinoff or not.

We meet a whole new version of Dan, learn that the ocean is really small, and learn absolutely nothing about mermaid culture.Breaking Mayberry is back, baby!

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

Evan Dalton Smith, author of "Looking for Andy Griffith" out in May from UNC Press, joins the boys for a wide-ranging discussion of all things AG and the culture around it. Also about Paul Giamatti, America's finest character actor.

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

It's our big send-off to Don Knotts (bigger than what the Andy Griffith show did anyway) and we "celebrate" by counting down Barney Fife's biggest crimes against humanity.

Then we cover more of Don Knotts' film career, including "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" and "The Reluctant Astronaut", a film which is in high contention for "most unfortunate release date timing."

We're! (we're!) Ready! (ready!) To! (to!) Podcast!

In what is basically an extended episode of Marty's Comix Korner, Marty and Dan watch 2006's Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties.

We grapple with the existential question of "What is Garfield?", play "Garf or No Garf" and generally hope you bring lots of spaghetti.

We lawyer up once again with personal injury/medical malpractice attorney Christine Clarke, who shares with us the best cross-examination twist ever heard.

Marty and Dan debate which fast-casual restaurant is the best to die from, and Otis sues the county in an AG episode named... Otis Sues The County.
