Time for another one of our Progress reports; First, a preview of a patreon show, then we tell you why we're going back to a Bi-Weekly Schedule AND we tell you what our final 8 shows of the season will be...
WB-Cember concludes with Three words of Caution...One, this may be one of THE most demoralizing shows I've ever seen in my life or death; Two, Reality TV sucks; and Three, if you happen to own anything made of glass, move them as Far away from the speakers as possible. This is our MIDSEASON FINALE, we will return in February with a month of Failures from the FOX Network. This episode is Also dedicated to the Memory of Victor Lewis-Smith...who I'm All but certain would've had a field day with a show like this.

T'was the show before Christmas, and all through the Underworld comes the tale of an inexplicable holiday novelty song, the TV special it inspired, and the creative liberties the show took to stretch a 3 minute song to an hour-long special (PS, Disregard that thing at the beginning where it says "our next show will be next week"...it'll actually be on 1/8/23)

The WB began its first half of its existence with some of the hottest shows for young people; so naturally, the network felt it could live up to its own Hype...Unfortunately, the network couldn't live with a show of the same name.

The other Broadcast TV network to debut in the 1990s was UPN's worthy rival for most of its existence; the difference between the WB & UPN? Most of the WB's shows were watchable...emphasis on "Most". This December, we're gonna "Kiss the Frog, Baby!"
UPNovember wraps up with some good 'ol fashioned "Dumb" fun...a kind of "Dumb that was written by two of the smartest TV writers ever known...so why would they do something so Dumb? SPECIAL THANKS to Connor Higgins on Youtube for letting us Borrow some of his Massive UPN Retrospective for our opening segment

UPNovember continues with......one of the most Draining experiences I've sat through in the 3 years we've been doing this show (If the bitterness in my voice throughout is any indication). But as draining as this was, we will STILL try to review this..."Thing" as fairly as possible. Look out, Shasta McNasty's comin' at 'cha! SPONSORED BY: Daves Archives Retrocirq And our Patrons
UPNovember begins with the network finding its footing by 1996; after two years on the air, the network seems to be hitting its stride with Urban comedy and Sci-fi Action shows...so what's the harm in combining the Two formats? It resulted in (probably) one of the most Maligned sitcoms of all time.

UPN: The United Paramount Network, one of two Broadcast networks that would debut in the mid 1990s, and would have one Here of a Time trying to reach its own mountaintop...This November, we get to climb that mountain to cover some of the network's most infamous avalanches...
The Wrecks of '79 concludes with another case of "That Same Old Story"...no, seriously, stories about people swapping bodies has been done hundreds of times in just as many years. The fact that the story was once a mediocre sitcom is as much predictable as it is unfortunate. SPONSORED BY: Dave's Archives Retrocirq And our Patrons
