Episode 47 – Cover Up, Pilot

This week we check out the short-lived 1984 TV show Cover Up. We wanted to check it out because of the tragic story of the co-star Jon-Erik Hexum’s death on set and to see if the show could have lasted longer if he had lived. We both enjoyed it, but the pilot was a little stiff, so we’ll have to check out more episodes to make a final determination. Either way, we both think Jon-Erik Hexum would have been a big star. Mike S. also talks a bit about Shazam! since he saw it last week. He liked it o...

For this episode we go back to the 70s to follow Lt. Columbo as he tries to find the murderer of the wife of a media mogul.

Do we need to say more? Yes we do. First, we have a special guest on this episode. Christopher Page of The Time Shifters Podcast was nice enough to suffer through this with us.

Episode 34 – Knight Rider: Silent Knight

Michael Knight is back! This time he helps some kid who has bank robbers chasing him because he stole a watch from them that they stole from a banker. Got it? It seems nobody really likes the kid, even his family, because they sell him out to the robbers multiple times. And occasionally someone says it’s Christmas so you don’t forget this is a Christmas episode. ( I still say it is not — Mike F .) But still, any show that has KITT jumping stuff and trying to figure out the meaning of Christmas c...
