Well it's been a year so it seems like a good time to release something. This is our last episode of the season and the series. We had a good run but if you would like to change our mind and continue with the work of art, please reach out via the socials, gmail ([email protected]), or patreon.
Regardless we did very little editing on this to get it out, so don't be too harsh of a judge and enjoy.
What would happen if someone was given a ton of money and free reign to create a show that was conceived in the brain of Jim Henson?
Well you don't have to wonder because it was created. A sitcom full of animatronic masses of latex and silicone, a catchphrase machine in the form of a baby megalosaurus, and gallons of anti-fungal cream for the actors inside those suits graced the TGIF lineup in the early 90's.
This "historic" show used a combination of expert puppetry and satire to become a forward-thinking sitcom that tackled everyday family issues through the lens of anthropomorphic dinosaurs.
If you ever wished the show Roseanne was made of Muppets, then this is the series for you.
Boy Meets World follows the boy, Cory Matthews, and his friend Shawn from middle school to college as they navigate all the trials and tribulations that those environments can hurl at you.
They tackle alcoholism, cults, parental absenteeism and a slew of other hard hitting issues.
However while you might not remember those episodes, what you probably remember is Topanga. You also probably remember puberty starting soon after.
If you like reminiscing about hormonal urges, then this is the series for you.
Family Matters, a spin off from Perfect Strangers, focuses on the Winslow family as they navigate life while having to deal with a serial stalker with a penchant for destroying personal property.
Somehow that lunatic-genius, Steve Urkel, became an overnight sensation and took the world by storm. You couldn't walk through a school in the 90's without hearing someone say "Did I do that?"
If you like a show where a maladroit is the hero, then this is the series for you.
Sliders was a show that "the suits" wanted to bury but the fans kept it alive. Originally on FOX and canceled multiple times, the show eventually ended up on the Syfy Channel where it was unceremonsionuly laid to rest.
The show was kind of like Quantum Leap but younger, hipper and starred a future dwarf. It kept the audience coming back with its alternate timelines formula as the "Sliders" "slid" into "infinite" "parallel" "dimensions".
Sadly the demise of the show started with the suits and the writers inability to be creative with infinite possible story lines.
If you like a show that's gets you thinking about "What if?" but has the budget of public access, then this is the series for you.
A space opera that was ahead of its time OR on an island of obscurity?
A show that survived by staying under budget OR was fiscally responsible?
Had original stories OR ripped off everything in existence?
These are some of the burning questions that we tackle in our episode covering the best and worst of Babylon 5. A show that actually won Emmys, has a dedicated following but is not available to be streamed.
If you like a show that's as deep as Aristotle on shrooms , then this is the series for you.
This show has everything you want: ghosts, aliens, hot leads, psychics that can't win the lottery, government conspiracies and crazy meow dolls.
Wait, what are crazy meow dolls? You know it's that thing where you take a bunch of cats and give them meth and then make puppets out of them.
If you like the paranormal and prop shops on short time, then this is the series for you.
Where's the safest place to be during a pandemic? One might think it's in Roy Scheider's bigger boat with the talking dolphin. However you can't forget about the underwater sea facility making mutant plants that are oddly reminiscent of an infamous speech in the Val-Air Ballroom in West Des Moines, Iowa.
If you like girthy, swinging, unkempt foliage, wonder why Dom is disappointed in himself and are curious about an underwater Wesley Crusher, then this is the series for you.
