Center of Weirdness

This week marks a bold new direction for the show as we rebrand as the Belvedere Boyz and promise to cover all 117 episodes of 1980s sitcom Mr. Belvedere every week for the next two years. This is TOTALLY REAL and NOT A JOKE.

In this inaugural episode, we cover the pilot and discuss the titular butler's supernatural ways. We also talk about a particularly pivotal moment in the Mr. Belvedere mythos.

We hope you'll enjoy this new direction we're taking the show and will join us for the ride.

What's that? A new episode of the podcast? We've been away for a while and we discuss why before getting into the surprisingly sweet TV special Cathy's Valentine (trust us, we were surprised we liked it too).

Things get dark this week as we discuss a very special ALF Thanksgiving two-parter. Along the way, we rail against midwesterners for not liking veggie meatballs, we discuss a very Brooklyn boy living in Southern California, and we recite a special Thanksgiving hymn (that definitely everyone knows!).

Happy Halloween! This week, we welcome Megan Sunday to the podcast to discuss martial arts and devil worship while covering the extra spooky, extra satany Walker, Texas Ranger episode "The Children of Halloween." Exactly how many children does cult leader Lucifer need to sacrifice on Halloween night? How did he know how to build a sophisticated bomb? Why are there two Kate McKinnon characters in this episode? All that, plus Skinner's obsession with Tony Danza finally pays off (sort of).

This week on the show, we finally get around to covering the super sexy/supremely silly Silk Stalkings. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Harry" is a baffling Halloween episode that barely matters because it's all a dream, but gets even dumber with the more you think about it. Why exactly is this boss dreaming about his employees having sex with strangers? Why do the characters seem to have some understanding that they're in a dream? And what exactly was that movie he was watching? It's a ridiculous show that is easily one of the stupidest things we've ever covered and it's great fun.

For our first pocast of October and the 13th episode of the season, we're covering TWO episodes of Family Matters, both featuring Steve Urkel's evil dummy doppelganger Stevil! Neither episode is GOOD but there are a few fun moments, as well as a few bizarre choices by the creative team, including extended dummy dance numbers and standup sets.

This week on the show we're following Robert Englad from one nightmare to another as we cover Nightmare Cafe, an extremely short-lived series about a mysterious diner and some ghosts who are forced to work there. In this episode, the ghosts have to help a detective solve a murder that occurred either last year or 30 years ago. We also get some creepy sibling affection, some exaggerated drunk acting by one of the hardest working men in showbiz, and the most insane looking CG transformation ever committed to tape. Too bad the show kind of sucks.

Spooky Season has begun! To get things started right, we're back in Springwood to talk about Freddy's Nightmares. In "Do Dreams Bleed?" we meet a new killer called The Chopper, who, as his name suggests, likes to chop up folks with an ax. It's probably either the troubled football star or the weirdo coach, but the episode doesn't seem to care and neither should we. Along the way, we see a real-life Barbie Dreamhouse kitchen, a basement freezer capable of holding three dead musicians, and a constant reminder to take our medicine. This show always delivers and this episode is no different.

It's with a heavy heart that we we end our Summer Knights series with this episode and bid a fond farewell to Garthe and Goliath. Unfortunately, it's in a rather boring episode. But thankfully there's some good stuff sprinkled throughout, like Dr. Adrienne wanting to test out Garthe and Michael's Knight Sticks to see who she likes better, Kitt doctoring audio clips like a political operative, and a drowning truck screaming like a dinosaur. We'll miss you, Garthe. We'll miss you, Goliath. 

Programming note: We're taking the month of August off but we'll be back in early September with the start of the Spooky Season!

After last episode's patriotic diversion with Greatest American Hero, we're back with our Summer Knights series to begin our final battle against Garthe and Goliath. Somehow, Goliath has returned and so has Garthe, sporting a great big bushy beard. This episode has more excitement and energy than both of our previous Knight Rider episodes combined, and Hasselhoff seems to be giving it his all playing Garthe this time around. And there's a bizarre plot involving blood transfusions that also transfer memories (?) but really it's just an excuse to have another doppelganger.
