50
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.879
show we can bring to anyone that

51
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.680
Toscano Tonight, I think we're going
to take it back home to the days

52
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:12.240
where TV was cutting edge but yet
still family oriented, a lot of humor,

53
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.839
a bit controversial, but yet it
was real television that you can actually

54
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.839
sit with your family and watch some
of it subliminal older comedy, and a

55
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.959
lot of those shows today on back
to the eighties. If we do want

56
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.720
to give us special thanks to everybody
that's listening, and we've got some special

57
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.160

62
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.839
it also brings back a lot of
nostalgia, So stay tuned for that for

big shout out. When we come back,

66
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.920
we're gonna be talking about the TV
shows of the nineteen eighties. And

67
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.240
yes, we have talked about TV
shows, but we're going to continue the

68
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.279
saga of television programming in the nineteen
eighties. You were listening to Back to

69
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.240
the Eighties radio. Here's a song
that's going to make you wish you were

70
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:29.279
in Tijuana, something from the Wall
of Voodoo with I Wish I Won in

71
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:47.720
Okay Radio. Back to the eighties
radio books go anywhere you're listening to Back

72
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.279
to the eighties, Back to the
eighties radio. You just heard Wall of

73
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.240
Voodoo Mexican Radio. Here, I'm
back to the eighties. Today we're talking

74
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.360
about TV shows, but we can't
talk about TV shows without a spell.

75
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:08.639
Look at a piece of history.
Since nineteen fifty three until the nineteen eighties,

76
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:14.680
the TV Guide was the most popular
magazine in the United States. It

77
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.079
appeared every week, as I mentioned
about Thursday, and it would carry content

78
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:24.399
for the following Saturday through Friday,
and it basically gave you everything that was

79
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:31.120
on local television and it had any
everything from articles to special announcements to advertisements

80
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:38.040
regarding the TV stations. And it
wasn't until the cable listings were added between

81
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.160
nineteen eighty and eighty one that they
started adding you know, cable TV channels

82
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.439
as well. Fun all of the
shows, eight to See and the facts,

83
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.360
what's behind what you see? TV
Guy? The whole world of TV

84
00:06:51.399 --> 00:07:00.199
that stert the stars underneath the blow
and the duds from the people who no

85
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:11.720
TV Guy show TV Guys, They
read TV Guy, that's did you guys

86
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.600
buy the TV Guide in the eighties? Were you guys faithful to that?

87
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.720
Because I remember in my household we
were not. We would get it once

88
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.439
in a while, but I think
my dad would would either go to his

89
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.879
friend's house and take it from his
friend's house, or sometimes they would like

90
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.600
my dad would go to some mechanics, you know, at some shop and

91
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.199
they would have TV Guide on the
desk or something on a table or on

92
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:38.279
a chair, and my dad would
snake it, I think from them.

93
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.399
Now we used to buy it righteously
at the store every week. You have

94
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:50.480
to understand the TV Guide had multi
usage usages. It was excellent for information

95
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:56.879
to view something family oriented for the
family, or by yourself or with your

96
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.199
wife, whoever you're going to watch
with. And it had information that was

97
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:07.279
valuable in it. It was interesting, a lot of beautiful pictures. It

98
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.120
was the right size. It was
also a weapon. You could roll it

99
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.160
up, kill bugs, kill flies. If you throw it with the binder

100
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:22.680
side first, you can hit a
target. You could also be watching your

101
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.199
favorite team lose, and it's excellent
to throw at the TV and turn it

102
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.959
off at that precise right the other
now, Now, the other great thing

103
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:37.559
about TV guide is you can fart
on it and scare your kids away from

104
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:43.559
the living room. I love What
do you think of that? Very interesting?

105
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.919
Yes, very very interesting. I
remember the TV Guide being my help

106
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.600
one time. I'm gonna show you
how so the TV Guide. I remember

107
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.720
I got in trouble one time,
and remember the TV Guide. It was

108
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.639
a small, little magazine, but
it was thick, and so I had

109
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.879
gotten in trouble. So what I
did is I put the TV Guide in

110
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.639
my underwear on both cheeks because I
knew, well, i'll tell you,

111
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.919
yeah, I knew I was gonna
get this was like, I must have

112
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.279
been ten years old, eleven,
and my mom got the belt and she

113
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:26.159
smacked me with a belt. I
didn't feel a thing, right, but

114
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.559
I pretended. I pretended that I
started crying, but I didn't feel a

115
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.120
thing because I had two TV guides, one on each cheek. So the

116
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.279
TV guide more than useful, my
friend, Oh, it was your ingenius.

117
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.320
You know what, I bet you
mcgiver would use a TV guide and

118
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.120
make all the things that we're mentioning
here. You know, anybody out there,

119
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:58.159
our listeners or are facebookers if there
was a special usage for your family's

120
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.639
TV guide besides what we've meant,
get hold of this right here, back

121
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.960
to the eighties radio and tell us
right just kind of we want to know,

122
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.720
inquiring minds want to know, We
want to view your experience. That's

123
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.919
correct. Let's kick it off with
mcgever because this is a show you just

124
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.679
mentioned. Now, were you a
avid watcher of mcgever. The only time

125
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:30.159
I would watch mcgever if I was
at home board partying by myself and I

126
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.919
found a guiver intriguing. When you
are how do we say above the clouds?

127
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.720
Sure? Sure, So for those
of you who don't remember mcgever,

128
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.639
or for those of you who had
forgotten about mcgever, Mcgeiver was an action

129
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:50.399
series and it was about a secret
agent who used his scientific knowledge to always

130
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:56.519
solve problems. He was always being
creative with this problem solving like well,

131
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.799
yes, kind of like he wants. Was able to break free out of

132
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.399
a prison just with a stick of
gum and the rapping the foil. Wouldn't

133
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.919
any inmate love to do that?
Back then, there was a lot of

134
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.600
things that came out in TV,
and in spite of being the eighties,

135
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.000
in spite of being a decade where
people were a little bit not as innocent

136
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.639
as other decades passed. In spite
of that, there was a lot of

137
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:30.360
innocence and people who watched TV,
especially in children, because we thought that

138
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:35.759
we could achieve a lot of those
same techniques, even adults. Children thought

139
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.159
that we could achieve a lot of
the things that he did with the same

140
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:48.120
approach. This is a guy who
had ingenious solutions, non violent. As

141
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.519
a matter of fact, he never
hurt anybody, but he was always there

142
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.960
problem solving and everything was just unique
and engaging. It was I think it

143
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.240
was a well written show. The
show averaged about twenty mill only in viewers,

144
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.159
so it had a good It had
a good following. It was from

145
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.720
nineteen eighty five and it ended in
nineteen eighty two, so it also had

146
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.320
a good run. Mcgiver. I
think it's one of those shows that one

147
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.240
of the forgotten TV shows of the
nineteen eighties as well. Oh yeah,

148
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.799
you know what another show that was
going on in the eighties, mister Tom

149
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:30.240
Selleck, Oh Magnum PI Marlborough Men
of all times. If his mustache could

150
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:37.480
talk, his mustache alone dropped millions
of pennies across the world. That's you

151
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.679
know what about that? That was
a very intriguing show, you know what

152
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.080
I mean, a lot better than
Matlock. But Magnum was cool. It

153
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.600
lasted about nine years, from nineteen
eighty to eighty eight. In the show,

154
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.840
Tom Selleck was a former Navy seal
and he turned private investigator and he

155
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:05.679
happened to live on this luxurious Robin's
nest the state where he worked at as

156
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.879
a security consultant. And he saw
just a bunch of cases, and he

157
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.000
drove around in a ferrari and had
always beautiful He was always surrounded by beautiful

158
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:20.840
women. With a smart ass butler. That guy was right, you know.

159
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:28.679
Dr Tom Selleck's iconic mustache became one
of the most recognizable features of his

160
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.879
character in the nineteen eighties. Well, I think there was a period of

161
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.039
time where he stopped using the mustache. He shaved it off, and there

162
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.240
was like an outcry from people that
was, yeah, you're right. It

163
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:46.879
was almost as ridiculous as who shot
Jr? Another powerhouse show. Now I'm

164
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.240
not I'm gonna tell you man,
I did enjoy watching Della. Well,

165
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.600
yeah, I guess so. I
just you know, I've never been one

166
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:01.720
to watch anything that's serious. Well, if you've got into Gray, Charlene

167
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:07.799
Kilton, Victoria Principle, Oh,
and then you had Kristin Crosby, you're

168
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.440
out of your mind if you weren't
watching Dallas as a teenage boy year old

169
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.519
hotness all over the place, and
you get a crazy villain, what Janey's

170
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.759
husband? That guy used to bang
Janey and now use JR. You now

171
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.120
something really cool this show. I
mean, if you're comparing this show in

172
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:33.159
viewership to what we just talked about
with mcgiver, Dallas reached eighty three million

173
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.519
viewers, especially for the episode especially
for the episode called Who Done It?

174
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.240
Now? Do you remember who shot
Jr? Yes? It was Kristin Crosby,

175
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.120
a suel and sister. Ah see, you know everything about the show.

176
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.639
I had no idea. I used
to watch that show with my sister

177
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.919
Lisa, so you know it was. It was basically a soap opera.

178
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.960
You know that right, Well,
it was a soap opera with a lot

179
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.759
of craziness. Now take it easy. I don't rememb you watch soap operas.

180
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.600
I'm the tough guy Chang. I
could kill you with just the look

181
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.720
of my bra, just by the
look of my bro I can shoot you

182
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:20.320
down. Oh where's my jealous soap
opera show? So this from a guy

183
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.799
who wears latigrab pink shirts, rolled
up sleeves and a sweater tied around his

184
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.879
neck, just gonna hang around at
the up went the mall. You know

185
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.519
what, you used to dress like
Larry No never never, never never,

186
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.960
But I can't say I used to
dress more like Jack Tripper. Oh,

187
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.440
okay, Jack Tripper. And speaking
of Jack Tripper, let's take a little

188
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.679
break. Let's play some more music
here and back in the eighties. When

189
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.879
we come back, we're gonna talk
about that awesome show. My favorite show

190
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:56.200
of all the eighties Threes Company,
A Knock on our Door. We've been

191
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:38.519
waiting for you. But one and
only back to the eighties radio Mister Crowley

192
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:44.399
by Ozzy Osbourne and one of my
favorites of all time from nineteen eighty three,

193
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.240
the singer of Holy Diver. But
today Dio sang, stand up and

194
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.039
shout, what a great album,
my friend, What a great great album?

195
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.399
You know. One of the one
of the great things about Bow singers

196
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:07.680
fronting Black Sabbath both led extraordinary careers
as solo artists with just some dynamic musicians

197
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.839
they surrounded themselves with. But I
would have to say Aussie always had a

198
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:18.240
greater, younger guitar player, where
Deo only had Vivian Campbell. Anyway,

199
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:23.160
that's just some metal information. Sisconnell. You mentioned about Three's Company when I

200
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.720
threw it at you that you dressed
like Larry, that you dressed more like

201
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:34.960
Jack Ritter, which I gotta ask
you. Janet, Oh, there's no

202
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:41.039
doubt in anyone's mind it has always
been Janet would that's right, Joyce de

203
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.640
Witt as Janet would. Oh,
yes, I would agree, because missus

204
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:56.519
Chang resemble Janet Oh so that.
Yes, yes, I would turn off

205
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:04.319
the lights and I would tell me
as the Chang coming, that's right now.

206
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:11.480
Did you know that Threes Company originally
was based on a British sitcom called

207
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:17.039
Man about the House? Yes,
I did know that, really because I

208
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:21.240
had no idea. Really. Yeah, I remember my wife told me that

209
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:27.480
my wife has so much frivolous information
about movies, television, actors, actresses,

210
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.599
spin offs, Uh, you know, new shows coming out. If

211
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.559
I could talk missus chang In to
doing a segment hear it back to the

212
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.839
eighties, everybody would would be like, wha, oh, that would be

213
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:48.279
great. You need you need to
have her on with you, my friend.

214
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.440
You know what, let me get
her a couple of more bottles of

215
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:56.400
vodka and we'll have a good conversation
about it. Of course, so listen

216
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.359
talking about Three Company. It was
a massive hit, all right in its

217
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.640
run, massive, massive hit started
late seventies and it went on into the

218
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.079
eighties. There was just so much
humor, physical comedy. There was so

219
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:14.559
much chemistry between the cast members and
the and the show tackled real issues that

220
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.680
tackled social issues, gender roles,
relationships, but it was all in a

221
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:23.440
light hearted manner. I mean,
there were there were misunderstandings, there were

222
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:32.440
miscommunication, but it was all a
part of comedic genius in the writing and

223
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:37.599
the way it was delivered was even
even better. You are, you nailed

224
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.319
it on the head right there,
you know, with the everything from the

225
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.640
beginning where Jack has to pretend he's
gay to live with both hotties, right

226
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:52.440
and pull it off, and kind
of the without saying bias towards gay individuals

227
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.960
in the eighties, the way that
mister Roper treated him even a little bit,

228
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:03.720
the way that don Knot's character treated
Jack Tripper, if you know,

229
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.119
knowing Jack was gay, and it
was a lot of subliminal uneasiness, which

230
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:14.079
was insane, but it was a
step above what Archie Bunker did with the

231
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.960
situation in scenarios like yeah, well
it was different because in this one,

232
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.400
you gotta remember, this came out
in the late seventies, so there was

233
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.200
a lot of taboo regarding this topic. However, even though the characters,

234
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:33.880
you know, mister Roper and you
know, mister Furley, were against having

235
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:41.960
someone who was gay living with the
two young ladies, at the end of

236
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:47.839
the day, you know, there
was a love for the character from mister

237
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.319
Roper, from mister Furley. They
loved Jack Tripper even though they knew how

238
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.720
he was because they knew he was
a good guy. They knew he was

239
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:03.759
an outstanding tenant, and and they
knew that he had an honest, sincere

240
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.960
love for the girls in this Clay, in this case Janet and Chrissy.

241
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.599
So they overcame that. But it
was it was hilarious and lots of times

242
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:18.720
they even participated in some of the
some of the comedy regarding being gay with

243
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.079
him. It was definitely one of
the shows of the ages that was groundbreaking,

244
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.880
you know what I mean. I
thought Dallas was groundbreaking. Dynasty to

245
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:33.519
me was more of a late night
I get you know, mom type show,

246
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.200
divorced Mom kind of soap opera.
So Dynasty I thought was a bit

247
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:42.839
ridiculous. You know, except man, the two wives in that show,

248
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.920
they were both pretty hot, and
you know, to a certain degree,

249
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.640
you were watching all these these shows
only for the women. I know,

250
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.240
I know, Oh, what are
you gonna do? It was fantastic of

251
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:56.920
me. Now I'm going to bring
up a show right now. Gay,

252
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.759
let me hear what you have to
think about this show. Now, this

253
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:06.880
show did started in the seventies,
the eighties version, and the cast members

254
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:11.960
of Saturday Night for Live would what
would be your tape on that show during

255
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:21.000
the eight Oh Lauren Michaels had returned
to the show in like mid eighties because

256
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.440
he had left and this guy,
Lauren Michaels played a significant role in shaping

257
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:30.759
SNL Saturday Night Live. But the
notable cast members of the eighties that I

258
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:37.680
fell in love with, specifically,
we're talking they had Eddie Murphy, Joe

259
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:45.799
Piscopal, Martin Short, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, John Lovetts, Norah

260
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:52.880
Done, Jan Hooks and even before
that then you had even greater we're talking

261
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:59.160
Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd And that's
taking it into the seven correct, you

262
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:04.920
know, was the ground breaking cast
of SNL. They were the first edgy

263
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:15.400
cut rated X sometimes are improv comedians
that were politically unafraid, politically correct.

264
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:25.000
Uh. They let their very good
they let their souls come out in every

265
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.680
skit that they did. You know, they got into their characters and like

266
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.559
that's why I brought up the eighties
cast because I feel the eighties cast once

267
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.519
Louren returned. They were just as
dynamite. I mean sadly, you know,

268
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.319
look at the way we lost Phil
Harton. Yeah, yeah, it

269
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:47.400
was incredible, tragic. Was just
some of the greatest comedians of all time.

270
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:53.039
I want to let you hear now
for those of you who don't remember,

271
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.960
or for those of you who've never
heard of Saturday Night Live in the

272
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:04.440
eighties, are how how groundbreaking it
was. I'm gonna play a little skit

273
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:14.079
from Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo singing
a song as they played Frank Sinatra.

274
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.720
Joe Piscopo played Frank Sinatra and Eddie
Murphy played Stevie Wonder. Check this out,

275
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:26.319
Hi'm doc, can't you alive?
Are blind as a bad? Side?

276

time we're talking salted Pepper, Stevie

277
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:44.440

will like you are black. I'm the

278
00:24:44.559 --> 00:25:18.720
who can Who can? Baby?
You're listening to Back to the Eighties.

279
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:26.160
Welcome back to Back to the Eighties
Radio with Taskano and Chang. Tonight we

280
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.640
are talking about TV and all that. We just listened to a little bit

281
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.000
of Eddie Murphy with My Girl Wants
to Party all the time and men at

282
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:38.759
work with over killed. We're talking
about TV shows in the nineteen eighties and

283
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:44.359
going a little bit more in depth. We all remember how cool it was

284
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.160
to come and just take some time
off, kick off her shoes, and

285
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.319
watch that favorite TV show. And
everybody, I might add, everybody had

286
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.720
their own favorite TV show. It's
very rare when you talk to somebody and

287
00:25:55.759 --> 00:26:00.400
they said, no, I don't
really watch TV shows unlike today, right

288
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.079
because we just have too much.
But back then, we all had a

289
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.960
favorite TV show. Yes we did, and we had so much to choose

290
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:12.160
from. Could you boil it down
to just one? Yeah? You know

291
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.680
what, I'm going to have to
tell you this show. I'll give you

292
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:23.920
a quick description of why I loved
that show. Cheers. I used to

293
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:32.759
get I used to get together with
my buddies Mike Bossio, Martin Gonzalez,

294
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:40.279
my buddy Mike ken Yer and Sina
my buddy Raymie. When that was got

295
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.960
killed in eighty five. We used
to watch this show religiously at what,

296
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:52.079
yeah, any one of each other's
houses. We would get together and we

297
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.839
would kill over a case of low
and brower Heineken. We were smoking Humboldt.

298
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:03.839
We were in smoking Mexican sense to
mea back then. But that show

299
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:08.640
always will go down as one of
my favorite shows because I loved the content,

300
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:14.680
I loved the hum where, I
loved the characters, but because all

301
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.519
those guys that I connected with enjoyed
it just as much as me. It

302
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.240
was magical. And I will say
this really quick. So was the cast

303
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.400
of s and Now. That's why
I brought it up in a way.

304
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.640
Yeah, we would get together and
watch that all the time. I mean

305
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.880
there was a lot of times we
create our own parties at one of our

306
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.920
houses and es and now was always
on every Saturday night when we all used

307
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.119
to get together. Crazy. So
there's my show Cheers. So I got

308
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:48.160
to hear what tusk Key's got to
say. Ah. Well, being that

309
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.799
I was younger of age that I
knew what Cheers was, I just could

310
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.880
never get into it. I could
also not get into shows like Family Ties,

311
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.559
and I don't get me wrong,
Michael J. Fox was one of

312
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.160
my favorite actors because of Back to
the Future, But there were some TV

313
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:10.359
shows that I just I just couldn't
do. I think my favorite TV shows,

314
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:14.400
aside from my all time favorite My
all time favorite was Threes Company,

315
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.240
But then it would be shows like
Different Strokes that also started in seventy eight

316
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:22.480
and went up to nineteen eighty six. I used to watch once in a

317
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.799
while, I'll watch Facts of Life
because I liked some of the some of

318
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:32.640
the hotties there, and of course
shows like Silver Spoons with Ricky Schroeder.

319
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.519
But there was a particular show that
in nineteen eighty seven. This sitcom centered

320
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.440
around a dysfunctional family, and it
was the first of its kind. It

321
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.440
didn't average much more than fifteen million
viewers, and it was very controversial.

322
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:53.119
It always pushed the boundaries, and
it always appealed to the younger adult audience.

323
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.799
In this case, you know,
I was going to high school,

324
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:04.359
married with children, Al Bundy with
his wife Eggy. This was just such

325
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.920
a funny, funny show. I
mean, you talk about this function,

326
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:14.799
you talk about modern day children,
teenage behavior pattern. I mean Kelly,

327
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.720
she was a typical hot, little
high school fool chick, metal chick that

328
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.640
I think a lot of us in
the eighties, remember, I mean,

329
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.960
especially a cat like me. I
was a metal head. I'm a rock

330
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.880
and roller bud. That kid,
you know, he played that role so

331
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.559
epic. The little brother that got
talked crap too by his sister. He

332
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.799
had an incredibly hot sister. His
dad was a smart ass, his mom

333
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.799
was a hottie and a smart ass. He was a smartass. You know

334
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.359
what's funny. That show I used
to tell my daughter when she had kids,

335
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:53.279
reminded me of my daughter and my
son in law, Douglas. I

336
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.839
used to call him Ivan, and
those two kids are my grandkids. I

337
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.920
love my grandkids, but that would
be my grandchild. Yeah, and my

338
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.799
daughters like she's pretty much a peg, especially with a leopard print. I

339
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:11.319
mean they were one of the most
funniest, loving, dysfunctional families and neighbors.

340
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.720
I mean they took eighties family to
another level. They weren't cartoons.

341
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:23.519
These were real freaking characters. Yeah. The manner that Al Bundy roasted people

342
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:34.039
specifically went because he was a disgruntled
shoe salesman and who basically hated his married

343
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:40.440
life. Whenever he would be at
his place of work, he made fun

344
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.079
of women, and he made fun
of women who were overweight. I want

345
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.400
you you know what, this is
the show about the eighties, and don't

346
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:53.920
get offended. So I want you
to listen to some of Al Bundy's best

347
00:30:55.039 --> 00:31:00.599
roasts. Remember me, Bundy,
No, the one who insulted. I'm

348
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.480
sorry, ma'am. You'll have to
be a little more specific. You made

349
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.960
fun of my weight. You called
me a giant seal. Well, let's

350
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:14.000
see, I had four elephants.
I had a rhino who wanted some flip

351
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.480
flops, had a manatee. Yeah, I don't remember any seals. Your

352
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.359
jog, my member, you know
what jog is. That's what you do

353
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:26.680
in the ice cream truck is pulling
out with this attitude, you're gonna be

354
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:32.160
working here for the rest of your
life. We'll take againder into the seat

355
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.480
next to you. If you want
to see what your future looks like.

356
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:47.200
Come Penelope, let's go someplace where
they treat us with respect. I try

357
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:48.440
the Moon. You're way less,
so, you know change. A lot

358
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:55.240
of people still reminisce and think about
eighties programming. I know I do a

359
00:31:55.279 --> 00:32:00.519
lot. People tend to have a
fondness for entertainment that they grew up with,

360
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.640
like like we do. And for
those of you who came of age

361
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.880
in the nineteen eighties, TV shows
and culture from that era are always going

362
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.559
to hold a special place in our
hearts. It contributes to that sense of

363
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:17.440
nostalgia. But the eighties, oh
my gosh, memorable shows, shows like

364
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.640
mash The Golden Girls, Cheers,
The Cosby Show, etc. It created

365
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:28.039
a cultural impact. These were shows
that it were original and creative, although

366
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:32.880
we did have limited choices compared to
today, where now you have one hundred

367
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:38.480
billion TV shows because everything's on YouTube. I was thinking a couple of nights

368
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:44.039
ago, and I was blown away
by this thought. Did we ever imagine

369
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:49.960
in our wildest dreams that someday in
the future we would have on the computer

370
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:58.400
access to not only hundreds of millions
of channels, but that people in society

371
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:07.079
would stop watching TV as we once
did and watch channels created by the kid

372
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:13.119
next door, and that people would
be more interested in watching stupid entertainment rather

373
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:17.440
than watching television as we once in
it. Did you ever, even in

374
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:22.799
a million years, imagine something like
that. No? I didn't. And

375
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:28.079
on the same token, I never
thought that I would imagine where television went

376
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:35.799
by voice track and lame kind of
as acting skits as it does now.

377
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.799
I never thought that TV would try
to copy so much of the past,

378
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:46.519
but yet just didn't have that same
feeling, that same true magic, all

379
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:52.039
those components as it used to be. And then you have to remember that

380
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:58.039
television nowadays is cheap. Everything is
built on raunch and shock and sex.

381
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.079
As you mentioned the Golden Girls,
which was a show that was so epic

382
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.760
and funny and about three older ladies
that you know at that age are not

383
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:14.599
supposed to be funny or or hip
or interesting epic. I mean that show

384
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:19.719
has the followers now, they have
the plays of the Golden Girls. You

385
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:23.880
know, they have reunions, they
have events and gatherings about the Golden Girls

386
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:29.480
and the stuff that they talked about. Remember someone was even X rated for

387
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.599
their age, because that's what we
thought. You talked about death, you

388
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:37.639
talked about sex with older people.
You talked about grandchildren doing bad things,

389
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:45.320
early pregnancy, you talked about jeez, animal cruelty, you talked about sex

390
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:52.880
was a big thing with Blanche.
There was so much humor but real stories.

391
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.239
It was amazing a show. We
could probably do a whole show,

392
00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.519
which maybe we will on the Golden
Girls alone, right, I mean shows

393
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.760
like that were captivating, They were
funny as all hell. You know,

394
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:09.760
they brought in family, but there's
that all slapstick, subliminal comedy. Yeah,

395
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:13.639
and you know what, it's a
shame. And these shows were short.

396
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:17.280
You got to keep in mind that
although shows usually were on for thirty

397
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:23.239
minutes, a show was not thirty
minutes. A show was roughly around twelve

398
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:28.840
to thirteen minutes long because the rest
were commercials. We had commercials. We

399
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:34.079
didn't have the luxury of fast forwarding
commercials until later eighties, where we were

400
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.079
able to record them and just fast
forward. But if you didn't have a

401
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:42.079
VCR, you'd had to watch the
commercials. And it's a shame that today

402
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.840
our focus, and I'm saying society
in general, that our focus is so

403
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:52.719
limited that if we don't get a
shot of dopamine watching a short video in

404
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.719
the first three seconds, we change
them. That's why you got channels like

405
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:01.320
YouTube, where you have one hundred
billion channels crap to watch exactly, and

406
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:06.239
people pay money and people make money
doing that. Now, I'm a person,

407
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:10.880
a guy that I enjoyed the commercials
growing up because to me it was

408
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:16.199
also a television show. You know, I've always liked to, just like

409
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:21.719
you do, voices, impressions,
you know, I like to improv certain

410
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:24.559
scenarios. So when I was younger, all through the eighties, I loved

411
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:30.400
watching commercials and I would always go
out and I would pretty much mimic a

412
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.000
commercial and put it into whatever sequence
I thought would fit at the time.

413
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.119
So many jingles back then too on
the commercials. Remember, yeah, yes,

414
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:42.719
and nowadays, you know, nobody
wants that society is in such a

415
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:47.599
rush to get its kicks and get
itself off that we've lost the theater of

416
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:55.679
the mind and share chuckles in everyday
existence. I'll say that. Yeah.

417
00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:00.280
Remember, we've talked about this lots
of times. We tray did our experience

418
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:06.239
for convenience. And don't get me
wrong, if you're listening, this doesn't

419
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:08.599
mean that we don't like convenience.
We like it. Of course. It's

420
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:13.320
it's great that we can turn on
the TV, get a channel, and

421
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:16.280
we can pick from thousands of movies. We like that. That's it's nice.

422
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:20.880
But you know what, there was
always something good and and made you

423
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.480
feel good about. Oh here,
look, I got the video tape we

424
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:28.159
recorded my favorite show. I'm going
to slap this movie in the VCR,

425
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:32.440
press the button play. You sit
back in anticipation of something that you had

426
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.840
no idea that was going to happen. You know. You bring that up,

427
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.159
and I'll say something about convenience.
Yeah, everything is nice to have

428
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:50.480
at a convenience, But convenience promotes
laziness. It promotes not mind dead brain

429
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:57.440
syndrome, but dead thought process exactly, because you know, convenience takes away

430
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.320
the process of thinking something out and
carrying it through and following the steps to

431
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:06.199
go do it, that being get
up physically and go get what you need.

432
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:08.880
If you want to see something great, get up and go watch it

433
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:13.960
in a theater, or you know
what, get up and walk to the

434
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:19.159
living room and watch it with friends
or roommates and get into a show.

435
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:23.840
Get off your phone, get off
your laptop. So convenience alone is a

436
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:28.800
double edged sword to me, and
you know, and you too, brother.

437
00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:36.519
It's promoted people to be attached.
Yeah. Do you remember. I

438
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:42.039
remember back in the eighties riding my
bike through neighborhoods as I go home in

439
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.000
the evenings, like around seven or
eight o'clock, and once in a while,

440
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:54.320
yeah no, and I would see
some people's garages open that had sofas

441
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:59.960
and television sets. You remember this, and you would see entirely friends,

442
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:06.199
friends sitting down in their garage watching
either a TV show, a sporting event,

443
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:10.280
a movie, but having a great
time, and everybody paid attention and

444
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.639
they talked and it was just the
social event of the week. The new

445
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:19.320
generation knows nothing about this, brother. No. You know what's funny is

446
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.280
my daughters grew up with that environment, you know, because I lived that

447
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:27.039
classic life like that. You know, my man cave was that a man

448
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:30.480
cave. It was probably like a
Cheech and Chong party best and I would

449
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:37.239
watch fights and sporting events and barbecue, you know, my neighbors kids,

450
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.760
it was all. It was always
the kids hang out during the day and

451
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.639
at night it was the neighborhood hang
out, you know. And it was

452
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.960
almost like a bar right and yeah, you watch TV in there, and

453
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:52.320
I we you know, you have
couches, you have a refrigerator going,

454
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:55.760
you know, every if you're if
you're badass, you have a heating system.

455
00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:01.400
My whole thing was decorate the walls, every every wall and ceiling that

456
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:08.039
I could afford to have covered with
posters or pictures a lot like my dojos.

457
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:12.760
As you can see right now look
at my dojo. Absolutely every square

458
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:17.199
into my dojo is covered in memorabilia. Yeah. So I always thought that

459
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.159
it would be great to have ambiance. So yeah, and you were one

460
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:29.239
correct. You very rarely see that
nowadays, and it's a shame. It's

461
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:35.480
a shame that that the majority of
society has lost this and and that a

462
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:40.000
lot of the people of our own
generation have traded that experience, that that

463
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:44.280
feeling of it was an experience.
That's all I could tell you, man,

464
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:47.480
it was. It was just a
freaking experience, and we missed those

465
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:52.639
so much. It doesn't mean we
can't continue doing it, But even if

466
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:58.000
we did it, the flavor is
gone because not everybody believes the same way

467
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.920
anymore. Minds have changed, We've
gotten used to a certain lifestyle and it's

468
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:08.800
just so vastly different that all we
have, Ladies and gentlemen, are our

469
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:15.280
memories of the nineteen eighties. Don't
go away. We'll be right back watch
