We're headed off to summer camp this week with the Nickelodeon classic, Salute Your Shorts! This show raised a lot of eyebrows and caused a lot of pearl clutching to to its astonishing and accurate portrayal of children. In a world where we'd mostly seen a very sanitary view of what "the youth" was up to, Nickelodeon provided an opportunity for kids to just be kids.

In the 1970s, the world was introduced to our favorite alien and an absolute cultural icon. Robin Williams starred as the simple and hilarious Mork from Ork in the classic sitcom, Mork & Mindy.

Travis leads us this week, taking us back to yet another cartoon created to sell toys. The 80s was a wild time, man. If you were a kid during that time, there was a pretty good chance that you got your hands on at least one M.A.S.K. toy, but maybe less of a chance that you actually watched this old cartoon.

This week, Amy takes us to the 80s with She-Ra: Princess of Power! The answer to the boy-centric He-Man. She-Ra was a hero that definitely tried to set itself apart with a female protagonist that was just as strong and mighty as He-Man. I suppose they also wanted to sell more toys, but either way this show has stood the test of time. There was even a Netflix reboot recently. Did we like it?

We're kicking off 80s cartoon month with a wild one that I don't think a lot of people even remember. Mostly because we've asked and there's a good portion of ya'll who had no idea what we were talking about. Until, of course, we watched it. This is one of those shows that hides itself deep in your memories and can only be recalled once you see it again. Lots of kids remember this from the Nick Jr days as it was part of the daytime lineup that happened before some of the older kid shows would come on. It was also part of a wave of cartoons imported in and redubbed for American audiences.

Greetings, TV Friends! This week we tackled the TGIF juggernaut that was Boy Meets World.

We go to a fairly recent classic show in this episode as we cover The Drew Carey Show! Drew Carey rose to prominence on the standup circuit in the early 90s and brings his oddball view of the world to this late 90s sitcom. Famous for some of its more ridiculous storylines and willingness to break the rules, this show was frequently in the top 30 shows on broadcast television during its run. This is as special Halloween episode featuring not one, but TWO guest stars: Henry Winkler and Charlie Fleischer!

There was always going to be a lot of chaos, and this episode is no slouch on that!

This week, Stephen navigates the complex humor and social dynamics of "All in the Family" with the episode "Lionel's Engagement." The episode brilliantly showcases the series' knack for addressing racial and societal issues through the personal lens of the Bunkers and the Jeffersons. As Lionel Jefferson announces his engagement, the episode delves into the nuances of acceptance and prejudice, seen especially through Archie Bunker's awkward interactions and missteps. Join Stephen, Amy, TVsTravis, and Audie on "Those Were The Days" as they unpack the episode's layered humor, the cultural reflections of the 1970s, and how it challenges its characters (and viewers) to confront their biases. Tune in for a rich analysis of how comedy was used as a tool to mirror and possibly shift societal perspectives, making "Lionel's Engagement" a critical episode in the sitcom's legendary run.Next Week!

Travis takes us to one of the most memorable cooking shows ever created. I don't know that it's even fair to call it a cooking show. It's more of a cooking culture show.
