S03E02 Fantasy Island

 

This month the In Syndication podcast asks if you had a wish, would let it be horribly corrupted by a charismatic car dealer? We go through the ins and outs of the TV show: Fantasy Island.

S03E01 Tales from the Crypt

 

We return for our third season of the In Syndication podcast with a Halloween appropriate entry. Tales from the Crypt was HBO's first premier show that ran for seven seasons. It was an anthology show that had a refreshing celebrity cast that has never been matched. Find how five of the biggest producers in Hollywood turned a comic book from the fifties into a giant franchise of multiple shows and movies.

S02E06 Car 54 Where Are You?

For the season finale of In Syndication we cover Car 54 Where Are You? Toody and Muldoon may have always found hilarity, but they never collared the crooks. Find about the groundbreaking sitcom on the In Syndication podcast in your favorite app.

S02E05 G.I. Joe

This month on In Syndication we talk about an action figure that was definitely not a doll. It spawned a comic book to create a mythos for it's television show. And that show helped sell the best selling action figure (not doll) of the eighties: G.I. Joe!

S02E04 Deadwood

This month we talk about the show that reinvigorated the western, made stars of Timothy Olyphant and Ian McShane (in the States, anyway), and was weirdly written in iambic pentameter: Deadwood!

S02E03 Mannix

He took a licking and kept on ticking. No sucker punch, bullet to the temple, or computer could stop him. Blindness and concussions were temporary setbacks. We examine the show that reinvigorated the detective genre: Mannix.

S02E02 Monty Python's Flying Circus

John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam started Monty Python's Flying Circus and not only set the template for comedy shows to come, but created their own brand of comedy in the process.

S02E01 I Love Lucy

We open season two with the most groundbreaking show in all of history: I Love Lucy! Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz took charge of their show and broke nearly every existing convention creating a sitcom that works almost seven decades later.

S01E12 The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour

CBS thought they hired an unoffensive comedic team to host a variety show. What they got was one of their most censored shows. Find out about the show that gave Steve Martin, Rob Reiner, and Bob "Super Dave" Einstein their starts in showbiz.

S01E11 MASH

We delve into the show that was about the Korean War (but really Vietman). Learn about the fight over the laugh track and how they broke the nudity barrier for a network show. We're covering M*A*S*H.

S01E10 Cheers

Cheers is one of the most loved sitcoms to hit televisions. It was high and low brow. It weathered losing a colead. It created a multitude of characters that will never be forgotten. And it laid track for shows like The Simpsons and Parks and Recreation along the way.

S01E09 The Outer Limits

The Outer Limits was a sci-fi show that introduced television to lighting in the style of German expressionism, managing it's own special effects department, and the monster of the week. We discuss all the ways it aged wonderfully...as well as comically bad.

S01E08 Married With Children

Married With Children, the fledgling Fox Network's first hit, was designed to be the polar opposite of The Cosby Show. It was centered around a shoe salesman's family, and had dialogue right out of a roast. We pull no punches reviewing this pop culture relic.
