The Fixers

Back by popular demand, the Fixers continue their sacred quest to unearth the buried treasure of network schedules past in TEARS IN RAIN.

This week we revisit the ill-fated Dudley Moore sitcom "Dudley," which was unceremoniously canceled after its fifth episode. Was their hope for Dudley? Is there anything we can learn? Or will its memory soon be lost like Tears... in Rain.

We also pay homage to a fallen weirdo movie star and play a Sports game.

Dudley talk circa 26:00...

Stick around for a game where Bain finally strikes out.

Bain and the Commodore break down the latest installment in the most inexplicably satisfying franchise running.
