Show Notes Episode 378: What It Jiggle, See It Wiggle This week Host Dave Bledsoe offers to show a little cleavage if it can help with his bartab only to get the entire bar shut down for uncontrollable vomiting. (Again.) On the show this week we turn back to the magical time in television history when we were not afraid to admit we were there for the boobs! (And it was glorious!) Along the way we learn that Dave's Mom wouldn't allow him to hang racy posters on his bedroom wall, so he had to masturbate to posters of Iron Maiden. (Not that there's anything WRONG with that!) Then we dive right into the history movies, television and sex. (Along with how they were very worried White People would be offended.) Then move right along to the halcyon days of what was called “Jiggle TV” in the greatest jiggle show of all time, Charlie's Angels! (Poor Bosley, they did him dirty!) Then we tell you about all the OTHER jiggle shows where the plot (such as it was) was secondary to the beautiful women barely dressed on the show. (Wonder Woman was WONDERFUL!) Our Sponsor this week is the American Broadcasting Corporation, who want you to know that they know you know, so look at these boobs! We open with Bill Hicks and his new TV show and close with Robert Lund and his extensive vocabulary!

A struggling mother of two found out she had just one day to get her things packed when her property manager left a harsh eviction notice.The 33-year-old US woman, Sonja Lee, 33, was living in an apartment in Houston, Texas, when she found a life-changing note on the front door."Guess who's moving? You!!!" the note read.The letter also featured a large, smiley face emoji waving, appearing to make light of Lee's situation.The note featured an emoji smiley face as if that would lessen the blow. Photo / Facebook"Pay your outstanding balance, or release your apartment and turn in your keys to the leasing office by 60pm today," it read."Eviction will be filed promptly Tuesday morning, 8/18/2020."The mother posted the letter online, writing, "So y'all think it's funny to antagonise the person that's going through financial hardship with putting an emoji stating, 'Guess who's moving today?' There was nothing funny about that."But Ms Lee had the last laugh. She has now landed a new job and home.When she found the note, "I was mad, I ain't going to lie," Lee told People magazine."I felt like they were antagonising the tenants through the situation and it was heartless, especially during a pandemic."A lot of people have lost their jobs. A lot of people aren't able to get the resources."I'm a single mother with two boys. I do the best that I can and am a very hardworking woman," she added.Ms Lee lost her job at a local food chain at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March.However, she was unable to receive unemployment benefits.After failing to pay rent in June and July, she told her property manager about her situation, expecting sympathy.Karya Property Management, who owns the complex, has since apologised for the notice and said the manager who left it has been disciplined."I am apologising personally in case it was insensitive, and if she was really trying to work out a payment program with the property or that she was in communication with the manager, then I accept it's truly our fault," said Swapnil Agarwal, the CEO, in a statement.Ms Lee's plight soon made national news, with the American Broadcasting Corporation picking up her story.More than US$34,000 was raised to support her and her family."It's been so overwhelming, and I am so grateful. I have never experienced anything like this," Lee said.She has been able to afford two months of rent, had her electricity bills paid for by strangers, and received new school supplies for her two sons.Lee also landed a new job that she begins today."I have to pay this forward 10 times fold," she said.

The year is 1964. Producer Selig J. Seligman convinces the American Broadcasting Corporation to dump a truckload of money into the pilot episode of Alexander the Great, a historical war series on an epic scale (for TV, at least). ABC watched it, said no, and as this was the 60s and there wasn’t some dumb cable channel to dump it on at 2am, the pilot was placed on a shelf to gather dust, never to be aired. At least, that was the plan, until the bloke who played Alexander (William Shatner) and the bloke who played, um… someone else (Adam West) became Captain Kirk and Batman. ABC realised they could probably trick Star Trek & Batman fans into watching this thing, and chucked it on air in 1968. And thus, the concept of “pretending a dead pilot is a TV movie” was born. …sorry? Oh, the pilot! It’s old and dumb and nobody can punch. Also, it was the 60s, so take a guess how well the one female character was portrayed.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Lisa Dib, Andrew Cherry Soundboard: Alex Malone

The 1950's saw both the twilight of the Golden Age of Radio and the birth of the science fiction radio series.  Science fiction was not new to radio before 1950, but it was either targeted to juvenile audiences or were shows in a broader series, for example, ESCAPE's  "The Time Machine".  On March 15, 1950, the first show of Mutual's 2000 PLUS aired, becoming the very first true science fiction series in the US.  DIMENSION X followed shortly on April 8, 1950 over NBC stations. TALES OF TOMORROW was the third dedicated science fiction series,  over the stations of the American Broadcasting Corporation, following DIMENSION X by almost 2 years. The host of the show was Raymond Edward Johnson, of INNER SANCTUM fame. Mr. Johnson handled TALES OF TOMORROW openings in a similar fashion to INNER SANCTUM openings, but with a "science fiction" flavor, instead of a "macabre" sense.The shows of this series were quite good, borrowing ideas from stories in "Galaxy" magazine.  Some of the story titles may seem familiar, like "The Stars Are The Styx", "The Girls From Earth" or "The Old Die Rich".  These titles would appear later in CBS's X MINUS ONE.  "Watch Bird" would later be done in South Africa, in a series entitled SF68.  But radio was on the decline. TALES OF TOMORROW lasted only until April of that year, airing only 15 shows.
