Valentine's Day is around the corner and we know all the single ladies out there want to know the secrets of finding that dream date.  This VHS tape from 1984, How to Pick Up Men, has all the answers to getting the man of your dreams.  It involves a dog named Boaz, not knowing where the post office is, and asking supermarket cashiers when the most single men shop.  Plus flirt, flirt, flirt!

In this year's "big game," for the first time, we have a set of brothers playing against each other for a title.  Ten years earlier, we had a set of brothers coaching against each other for a title.  What was a great battle that came down to the end was overshadowed by a lengthy power outage.

Originally recorded back in Thanksgiving of 2021, it's the final edition of our Director's Cuts that we released over at the Place to be Nation POP Experience with over 20 minutes of new material not in the original cut.

We bring you this special Director's Cut of the 1985 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade which features Mike ranting about Your Numbers Up being preempted, a Cabbage Patch Kids commercial with Estelle Harris and a poster involving former New York Jets QB Ken O'Brien?

OH NEAT!

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.

Imagine you were on a show with your ex, playing anchors on a sports program.  It happened here with Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal.  They were truly Good Sports about this short-lived entry from 1991.

Free Spirit got its first exposure on the premiere of the TGIF block.  It was then placed on another night, where it was replaced by a show which has been on for over 30 years.  Was this show with a witch cursed?  Possibly.  But it gave us one of our favorites, Alyson Hannigan.

A comedy starring Dom DeLuise and created, in part, by Carl Reiner?  Sounds like a winner to us!  But it's going up against a strong police procedural and a stalwart from the early days of television?  All we say is Lotsa Luck!

Last year we covered the 49ers and Cowboys in the Nickelodeon Wild Card game with an ending that had us all like WTF?

This year we came back to watch the rematch as both teams faced off with a trip to the NFC Championship Game on the line.

One of the most beloved games of the late 70s through the mid-80s was Tic Tac Dough.  The show had lives before and after that halcyon period.  Unfortunately, it was rigged, hosted by an imbecile, then hosted by a bigger imbecile, and recently went to pilot, but did not get picked up.

After the highs of Star Trek IV, Harve Bennett turned to another member of the Star Trek cast to try his hand at the directing chair. Surely with Captain Kirk at the helm, Star Trek V would reach even higher profits at the box office right? 

Yeah, about that .......... Greg and Chico try to take a look at went wrong and try to answer what does God need with a starship?
