Those Were The Days

That's THOSE were the days. Accent on the "THOSE!" Maybe you know what we're talking about or maybe you don't and are about to go on a nostalgic journey back into kids television. Are You Afraid of the Dark was a staple of Nickelodeon's Saturday night SNICK lineup. It closed out the night with spooky tales told by The Midnight Society around a campfire. It was just spooky enough to scare kids, but was it spooky enough for adults too? Does it even hold up? We'll find out on today's episode!Next week! Watch Happy Days - S2E6 - Haunted.

Definitley not. But are they as fun to watch as ever? Probably? Tune in as our classic TV crew checks out this famous Seinfeld episode.Up next! It's time for SPOOKY SEASON.

This week, our super sleuths take on the myster show, Columbo! Starring Peter Falk, Columbo was about a mild mannered and easy going but brilliant detective.

This week, we head back to the well with TGIF and watch Step By Step! This 90s sitcom was largely considered a bit of an update to The Brady Bunch, focusing on a blended family and all the chaos that comes with cramming 9 people into a house. Come to think of it, I guess that's just a good concept for sitcom television over all. This episode is all about one of the youngest kids learning karate to handle all the bullies at school. It's pretty solid, heartfelt television and we're here for it.We're taking the week off next week, but the following week, Amy is taking us to a cop show!Your job is to watch COLUMBO - S7E1: Try and Catch Me.

We're back! Your favorite retro channel surfers are back in the saddle and ready to take a look at classic TV with you. We had a great break over the summer. Well, except for Travis who went to Hawaii, found a tiki idol, and is still fighting a serious case of bad luck. Maybe he can bury it in the backyard and be rid of it. Anywho! Since we're doing a bit of a premiere, we figured it would be a good idea to take a look at the premieres of our favorite shows! We're going to be looking at season premiers this month, so rather than diving into pilot episodes, we're checking out episodes that everyone eagerly anticipated as the start of the TV season was kicking off.

We travel to the distant future this week with one of our favorite all time cartoons, Futurama!

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.

Re-run! Enjoy this episode from our past and we'll be back soon!Yeehaw! We went back in time to one of the most popular variety shows of the 70's and 80's. Hee Haw ran up to the early 90's and was consistently a high rated show, even outside of the heartland of America. There's just something about puns, dad jokes, goofy skits, and manic energy that makes a show work. We had a good time chatting about this one. Maybe we even had more fun talking about it than we did watching it.

We're going to a 90s classic that still seems to entrance audiences even today. The stories of a bunch of high school kids trying to figure it out while making us laugh along the way are among some of the most memorable. That's right, we're going to Saved By The Bell! But we're not visiting Bayside High this time because we're also "On Location" at a beach club. This little deviation in the story was a exciting because it gave us a new romance for Zack, and a whole different setting to get into new kinds of trouble. What did we think about the show?
