Primetime Crimetime

Did you know that every time the fog horn blows, someone in San Francisco is having a two-martini lunch? We swing into the 70s this episode as Zoë and Richard examine McMillan & Wife, a show so progressive they didn’t even bother giving Wife a name. This two-parter reveals the reason why houses in SF are so expensive: they come with corpses hidden in the walls. The riveting “will they/won’t they sell their home” tension spirals to fever pitch as caterers roofie Nancy Walker and Richard Dawson sexually harasses women in hallways. 

Who is the skeleton and how did he get there? Come with us on a journey to solve this earthshaking mystery!

Our first “period” detective series takes Zoë and Richard to the 1940s with Ellery Queen as he solves an old-fashioned whodunnit with an Alice in Wonderland theme. 🐰🔎

This episode is complete with literary Easter eggs that they would have had to use a paper encyclopedia to look up, and a 1970s take on 1940's idea of race and gender so you know you’re in for a wild, problematic ride.

ALSO! Zoë uncovers a very creepy Sixth-Sense subplot that scared the heebie-jeebies out of us...

This episode of Primetime Crimetime is a hard-hitting examination of game-show fixing as Cagney and Lacey team up with Cobra Kai and that one guy from Welcome Back Kotter who wasn't either Horshack or Barbarino. They also dress up for reasons that are never explained as pieces of fruit and wind up solving a crime where no one is arrested or, come to think of it, even clear on what actual crime was committed!

Except for excessive use of unidentifiable New York accents. 🗽🌭🚕  There's a strong penal code on that one.

L.A. 15, 7-Mary BOO! 👻🏍

So, “CHiPS.” When you put the title of a show in quotes it’s hard to tell if it’s all just one ironic joke? Primetime Crimetime releases their first Halloween special as they ride into Season 2; Episode 6, “Trick or Trick." Jon and Ponch have a busy night of performing “police work” as Ponch ponders the possibility of unseen supernatural forces that potentially guide our existence while Jon’s “personality” sort of disappears by standing too close to dry wall. Oh, they also chase down a mace-wielding sexy kabuki ghost robbing liquor stores, and not one of those words is in quotes. 

What was supposed to be a fun treat, sent Richard into a tailspin into madness, and what could be scarier than that?

Well, be prepared to be disappointed as you are plunged into a world where rational decisions and logical thought are foreign concepts. We delve into an episode where a tiger is trained to kill Werner Klemperer and the suspects are Barbie Benton, a trained karate killer Sonny Bono, and Zsa Zsa Gabor and that’s probably the second weirdest thing in Season 1, Episode 13, “The Purrfect Crime.” Yeah. That’s the actual title.

Join us as we time travel back almost 30 years for Aaron Spelling’s dire warning for future generations, beware the Tigers of March…
