Those Were The Days

We're continuing holiday season here on Those Were The Days by heading into Thanksgiving! Every show has a halloween episode, and every show has a Christmas episode, but not every show spends a ton of time on the great gluttonous holiday that is Thanksgiving. Fortunately for us, we've had WKRP's turkey drop and now we're having the drunken football friends-giving that is The Bob Newhart Show. Rated as the top best episode of this show by IMDB, we find Bob Newhart without his wife, Emily, and replaced by three of his closets friends and a jug of cider and vodka ... or vodka and cider. Sit down, order some moo goo gai pan, and let's enjoy this show!Next week, it's time for A Muppet Family Christmas!

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.

We've watched an episode of Seinfeld before, but like a fine wine these episodes get better with age. Have the characters grown since the early days? No. Are they any better at being people? 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, 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.
