Podcast appearances and mentions of derick armijo

Swans Crossing turns nothing into something, nips things in the bud and confuses to confront. It's read Grant Booth's The Art of Turning Tables and isn't holding back.

Nate Runkel is back to wash dishes and borrow graphite fishing poles. And he's all out of fish.   This episode sounds bad in the beginning (I know, but like worse than usual) but it gets fixed around the 7:00 minute mark.

Garrett gets a new dad but Derick doesn't remember anything so is anything really different?

Is Hilary Woodward trying to stop Hilary Woodward from enjoying Police Squad!? This episode would be a great way to find out.

Jordy Bogguss is with us to wonder what Derick is watching that makes Police Squad! not that great.

New season? Yes, it is. Well.   M Squad / Police Squad! Side-By-Side Red Rock Cider

The end of week 4 is our first full week of Swans Crossing and it's really a wonder we could ever stop ourselves before. Gimme smore!

If nothing happens on Swans Crossing does anyone even notice unless you make someone watch it who has never seen an episode before?

A Very Wednesday episode of Swans Crossing.

Week 4 begins by reviewing episode 15 for us and the characters of Swans Crossing, who need it just as much as we do.

Wildfires! Looting! An invasion (of parents) at our borders! Kid Nation's finale aired over 17 years ago but still manages to be relevant.

Bonanza City needs fun, badly. Life force running low.   Or maybe they needed the books after all.

New Year. New Council. New Guest. Kristal Fields gets dropped into Bonanza City with zero and/or misleading context and has to wonder why everyone hates that adorable ten year old girl so much.

Pete Capella picks up with Kid Nation tight where he left off after years processing how he could want to punch a ten year old in the face.

Chris Hayner and Jordy Bogguss are back to chew gum and make fun of kids. And they're all out of gum. Just kidding, there's so much gum.    

Guest Matt Kawczynski is certainly disgusted. But Derick might be more on board with Kid Nation than ever before. Pardons all around!

Survey says: God is Great. Golf is Whatever.

Jordy Bogguss visits Bonanza City to defend microwaves, bullying and everything Taylor has and will ever do.

I pledge allegiance to Kid Nation, every Wednesday night. And to the Network for which it stands, one show, unreality, indicisive, with liberty and root beer for the Upper Class.

Natalie Wass, aka The Bunheads Broker, is with us for Andy Barker, PI, of all things. But maybe not so secretly she's really here to talk about Andy Richter's other one season show, Quintuplets.

Hilary Woodward is back to watch Andy Barker, PI for the second time, even if she doesn't remember that. Derick might not remember either and he watched it for the first time twenty minutes ago. Wig jokes and chicken puns just aren't be enough.

Harry Nelson is here to dive too deep into Andy Barker, P.I., hit our heads, and make us (Derick) think maybe this is a funny show after all.

Season 8 begins with a mystery: Why are we watching another show created by Jonathan Groff??? Andy Barker, P.I. was a 2007 midseason replacement vehicle starring Andy Richter and Tony Hale and you can't watch it anywhere because even Peacock has chosen Father Of The Pride over it. Brian Sadecki is with us to try and find where all the jokes went.

Did Swans Crossing just become good TV? We know its only temporary, but its difficult not to get obsessed. Not as obsessed as Jordy is with that phone The Countess is using, of course.

AD Police (Files) is only nearly every free streaming service, as though they are trying to prepare us for the inevitable future of MegaTokyo. It's only three years from now after all.   Denzel Belin joins us for the most adult show we've tackled so far. Maybe we can't take it. Maybe we shouldn't take it.  Maybe we should ask someone to fill us with bullets already and get it all over with.   @from_washington @derickarmijo @SingleSeasonTV singleseasonrecord@gmail.com

It's the end of Silver Surfer and we feel fine. Chris Hayner is with us to both turn back time and look forward into the unlikely Season 2 of this show that did exactly what it set out to do without ever actually being for anyone. Fare thee well, Norrin Radd. We hardly knew ye, even though ye would never shut up about yourself.

Ego tricks Derick into thinking this show is over, but Silver Surfer has just a little more insuffrability to burn.

Speed round with Pete Capella who is in no mood for this Marvel space nonsense.

Everyone's favorite genocidal space moper is back for more brooding and blobbing. @VeryCoolEmily helps us figure out how to use the Power Cosmic and precisely how cute Pip The Troll is. 

The Silver Surfer has appeared unto us and we will live in fear until he hath been vanquished. If such a circumstance be even possible. Also Rich Monahan is with us to help us speak normally after all this.

The end of Swans Crossing's second week may not have everything you've come to never expect from this show, but it does have balloon monologues, divergently moble cakes, distracting soundscapes and mysterious floats. And shouldn't that be enough?

Derick tries to ruin Swans Crossing but it's too detached from reality to fall for his tricks.

Weezer and The Muppets have a lot more in common than that video they did together. Nate Runkel from Yo! That's My Jawn is with us (briefly) to discuss the entirity of one of many single season Muppet shows: Muppets Now. Which seems like it should have an exclamation point but doesn't. In every sense.

The Muppets are the perfect antidote to the bummer inducing we imposed on our guest Denzel Belin last time he was with us for My So-Called Life. Unless of course, those Muppets are too busy with their phones so the show has to be about humans and their dumb self-centered relationship concerns.

Silver-plated Minecraft experts Chris Hayner and Harry Nelson have returned to The Muppets Mayhem to wonder if, in fact, there will ever be any Minecraft in this episode. 

Hilary's son boils the Muppets down to their essential elements and they (and you and we) will never be the same.

Did "Weird" Al bring his own shirt? Has Chris Hayner been blacklisted by The Muppets? Should The Muppets do Entourage or Survivor next? All these questions and more are more asked than answered on this week's Single Season Record.

Sulia Altenberg has falen through the ceiling and into our studio, but first, let's explore some public domain music!   The times they are A-movin' right along. Moogin' right along? Look, we can't think of everything.

Matt Kawczynski is here to convince us Zoot and Lips are the funniest thing since sliced bread.

Harry Nelson doesn't know these Muppets but he's with us anyway, mostly for super producer Zedd who is a real person playing himself and not an invention of this show we swear!

The Muppets have their own wing here at Single Season Record they are so good at getting canceled. We're starting with their most recent failure, the awkwardly and maybe misleadingly titled The Muppets Mayhem from 2023. It's on Disney+!    

Only eight episodes in and Swans Crossing is challenging everything you think you know about television. Also contracts, elevators, phones, bikes, sinks, birds and the sun. Grab your shimfork and dig in!

Paris Hilton's lost BFF Nate Runkel is with us for MTV's Movie Life: House Of Wax, 5 episodes of promotional material for a movie you did not see. The rare one season show that failed on multiple fronts. We'll find out how much Paris Hilton loves animals, how much Nate loves Paris Hilton, how much Derick loves Elisha Cuthbert and how much Chad Michael Murray loves Christmas.

Somebody had to join us for the come down episode after 6 and it's Chris Hayner! Episode 7 has its own identity though and would really appreciate it if you stopped comparing it to episode 6.

It's a weird episode and you find us all on your bed by the end.

My So-Called Life moves into 1995 with a lot of self-improvement ideas it will never get the chance to follow through on. And not just because it only has a few episodes left.

It's Sesame Street vs. The Ramones and the winner is, as always, Danielle Chase.    

You gotta keep your eye on the prize, whether that prize is a comet or a dumb idiot with soft hair.

Is it a lack of self-esteem that leads to us posting a second show dedicated to episode 12 of My So-Called Life? Or is it an abundance of it?   Before Ashley Lyle cerated Yellowjackets, she watched My So-Called Life a million times and this is her favorite episode. So we mostly make her think about the score, which is the one thing about this show she's never thought twice about.

This episode drew the DeGrassi card and now we all believe in Tarot.
