For this week's "Off the Set" and who better to teach you about manners than mom? Actually my mom wrote a couple of books on the subject, so there's another reason.

If you're feeling low, turn up the radio. This was a very fun half hour.

My mom and stepdad John join me on the pod to talk about the shows they grew up watching and how it impacted them as kids.

It was a time when Gameboys consumed every AA battery your dad had in the drawer, tech vests were zipped up and never hit the water. Also allowance money went straight to brightly colored milk bottle caps that had absolutely no value. And of course the "Discman" had to have anti-skip because Jock Jams just didn't jam without it.

You know them by heart, and sometimes you wish you didn't. The flicks you can't help but stop on if you're browsing channels or click on if it's streaming.
