Those Were The Days

This week on "the worst of the best," Stephen takes us through an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" that didn’t quite hit its usual comedic mark. Titled "Son of 'But Seriously Folks,'" the episode features Jerry Van Dyke as Wes Callison, a comedian who tries to give up stand-up comedy for a job at WJM. While Van Dyke’s performance shines with his trademark humor, the episode struggles to maintain the series' typically sharp comedic pacing and character development. Tune in for a lively analysis of the highs and lows in the life of a TV classic.

Next week - The X-Files - S3E18 - Available on Hulu

This week, Audie leads us through a unique exploration of "The Wonder Years," focusing on an episode that's often considered a misstep in the series: "Soccer." In this episode, Kevin tries his hand at soccer coaching, leading to unexpected challenges and comedic mishaps. Despite its intentions, the episode falls short in capturing the nostalgic and poignant essence that the show is known for.

This week, Stephen takes us back to the darkly comic and twisted historical world of "The Black Adder." In the series opener, "The Foretelling," we're introduced to the scheming Prince Edmund, the man who would (much to his own surprise) become the Duke of Edinburgh. Through a series of unfortunate (and hilarious) events, Edmund finds himself rewriting history and battling a host of real and imagined foes in his quest for power. Join Stephen, along with Amy, TVsTravis, and Audie, on "Those Were The Days," as they dissect the genius of Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson's creation, exploring its sharp wit, satirical take on history, and the legacy of one of television's most beloved black comedies. From the infamous first line misheard as a call to arms, to the birth of the character we all love to despise, this episode unpacks the humor, absurdity, and brilliance of "The Foretelling."
