IN THIS UPDATE:

*A Tribute to Ron Popeil
*A Change in the Lineup
*We reveal This year's Charity for This year's Charity Episode

But other than that, it's pretty much time filler.

Unfortunately, this is NOT the Al Pacino biopic about Jack Kevorkian; THIS "You Don't Know Jack" is based on one of my all time favorite video games. But trying to take an established brand to another form of media is not as easy as it seems...For our 2nd Patreon request this month--thanks to patron Chris Michaud--It's time for the (Real Life) show where High Culture and Pop Culture Collide...

...And speaking of High/Pop culture colliding, When you're done listening to This, listen to the Post Modern Art Podcast (wherever Fine podcasts can be streamed)

This month is pretty much going to be dedicated to Due Dilligence, as we have a couple of requests hanging in the pipeline of our Patreon Page, one of which will be co-hosted by one of our most dedicated of Patrons...

In the past, we've covered failed pilots of TV shows. But what if the show in question actually got picked up by the network, produced Several episodes AND was ready to broadcast...only for the plug to be pulled at the last possible second? 2002's "The Grubbs" was one of those shows, and we're going to try to figure out why the axe fell prematurely.

How can a show with a Broadway legend, Nick Offerman's (then) future wife AND Friggin' BATMAN still manage to fail? It probably didn't help that another network produced it, but then pawned it off on a network that was still trying to find itself at the time.

For this month's prologue, We feel that we've been on for a long enough time that we can go through our own archives to present to you a ruidmentary history of what we've mentioned about the FOX Network so far...partly because we won't be doing anything "Historical" in our next two shows, we just want to get it out of the way.
