In this episode of Black Sitcom History, we turn up the volume and dive into the unforgettable theme songs that defined Black sitcoms. From the soulful harmonies of The Jeffersons' “Movin' On Up” to the upbeat energy of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, these theme songs set the tone for beloved shows and became cultural anthems in their own right.We explore how these songs captured the essence of Black joy, resilience, and community, reflecting the spirit of the era in which they aired. Whether it's the funky basslines of Good Times, the smooth R&B of Moesha, or the gospel-infused power of Amen, these intros weren't just catchy—they told a story.Throughout the episode, we break down the musical influences behind these theme songs, the artists who performed them, and their lasting impact on pop culture. How did these themes shape our first impressions of these shows? Why do they remain so iconic today? And which ones still get stuck in our heads decades later?Join us for a nostalgic, fun-filled discussion as we celebrate the soundtracks of Black sitcom history!

Welcome to the The First Ones, an Our POoRCHoices podcast.  On this series Sarcastro picks a show from yesteryear and then rallies some (or all) of the fellas to join him in recapping just the first episode of said show while dissecting it and determining if it's a show that would fly in today's entertainment landscape. This month on The First Ones, Sarcastro is joined by Fatty and Banky to talk about The Facts of Life which Sarcastro noted he had some help selecting which series to cover for this episode from friend of the show and co-host of The Sunnydale Diaries: A Buffy Podcast, Melanie.   With a premier in the fall of 1979 none of them realized how large of a cast the first episode had and that future star Molly Ringwald was in the first season and Nancy McKeon's rough and tough, street-wise Jo Polniaczek wasn't.  Which makes them wonder, had they ever seen the first season let alone the first episode at all?      Intro and outro interpreted and performed Sarcastro.

James Alistair Henry has had a hand in writing some seismic shows across T.V. He is a BAFTA award winning writer for the comedy, 'Green Wing', worked on the sketch show, 'Smack the Pony', and his diverse career has seen him write for 'Bob the Builder', 'Hey Duggee', and 'Shaun the Sheep'. He's just published his debut novel, 'Pagans', which has already been optioned for Apple TV. It's set in an alternative Britain, threatened with political turmoil to unite the Celtic West, the Saxon East, and the powerful Nordic Kingdom of Scotland. It's inspired by a blend of Icelandic mythology, 'Game of Thrones', and scandi noir classics.We talk about why he started writing this kind of story as a complete reverse of what he'd worked on before, and how he tried to blend the comedy he knows with a darker story. Also, hear about what he learned from writing sitcoms that he could use in novels, and we get quite theoretical with discussions of rules and what stories need to include.You can hear why he's happy to chill, writing on the sofa, also what he's learned from the first novel that he can take into the second, and find out why one of his main motivations was simply to finish something.This week's episode is sponsored by Scribe Shadow, find out more about what they do at app.scribeshadow.comSupport the show at patreon.com/writersroutine OR ko-fi.com/writersroutineGet a copy of the book at uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSubscribe to the newsletter at writersroutine.substack.com@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

If you grew up watching TV in the 80s, you may have noticed that there was a preponderance of… if not shows about orphans specifically then similar shows where the care of children was entrusted to people who weren't their parents and maybe didn't know how to raise kids. We're talking Diff'rent Strokes, Rags to Riches, Punky Brewster, Webster and Gimme a Break, but also The Facts of Life, Charles in Charge, My Two Dads, Full House, My Sister Sam, Silver Spoons, The Hogan Family and more. Sure, a lot of factors could explain these absent parents, but what if we told you there was a single patient zero for this whole trend? Because Drew thinks there is one, and its history stretches back to the 19th century.

Stuck In The Middle - A Gen X Podcast

Why do I feel so guilty, Slackers?In a recent podcast, Tom Morello and Billy Corgan discussed a number of topics, but when Billy talked about  "Gen X not having a second act” and Tom said he had “Punk Rock Guilt”, this really struck a chord with me.Growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s—amid economic flux, cultural cynicism, and punk's rebirth via hardcore and grunge — gave us a somewhat strange worldview. In 1989 Family Ties ended while Seinfeld just started to air. We went from wholesome to cynical in the blink of an eye.Morello talked about the uneasy feeling of raging against the system only to end up part of it - is that just an inevitable part of growing up or have we somehow let our younger, more idealistic selves down?As a parent I often wrestle with whether I have done the right things for my kids. And I certainly lament my restless, rudderless youth. This episode is a reflection on my own personal (and Gen X's) struggle to reconcile our hedonistic, yet oddly idealistic, youth with the quiet regrets of middle age.

We're at the start of award season, so it's a perfect time to continue exploring MASKulinity on TV. This week, Samantha and Remoy walk each other through popular shows they've watched and ask, How are men and masculinity represented in these shows? Are they challenging the norm of MASKulinity or reinforcing it?Samantha starts off with a nod to Golden Globe-nominated Nobody Wants This for its evolved masculinity moments. Adam Brody has been in his nurturing masculinity bag since the early 2000s and we're here for it! She then winds our TVs back to the late ‘90s for a look at a breakthrough TV show at the time: Sex and The City.Remoy questions focusing on men while talking about a show that centers women. At any other time, Samantha would agree, butcher contends that it is helpful to see how women can perpetuate patriarchy.What are men like in a TV show that entirely focuses on the dating and sex lives of attractive women? Samantha reflects back on the different love interests in the show and how their viability as a partner was measured.Carrie's main love interests, Mr. Big and Aidan, embodied two different sides of the coin that is traditional masculinity. Neither challenge patriarchal norms, still, it's worth asking: Why would an emotionally unavailable tycoon be a better suited partner than a nurturing provider? Short answer: patriarchal tropes. Long answer: Nice guys finish last in the patriarchy, and SATC is no different.Remoy acknowledges his own past as a Mr. Big type, proving that emotional unavailability doesn't have to be lifelong!Remoy didn't regret missing the show, but he couldn't help but wonder, Do these stereotypical dating situations on TV inform our real dating lives or is it the other way around? Patriarchy didn't just impact dating in SATC. Casual homophobia, racism, and transphobia were peppered throughout the show. The two call out that SATC touted itself as a feminist show, but only explored well-to-do, slim white women's dating and sex lives. Everyone else does feel othered including men, who are one-dimensional and just meant to be chosen.Samantha admits why she continued to watch the show despite all these tropes. She reflects on her younger self's patriarchal leanings. There were good things about SATC. While missing clear opportunities to be inclusive and well-rounded in their depictions of dating life in New York City, Where the characters in the MASK On, MASK Off game from our “TV Dads” episode grappled with masculinity, SATC sticks to traditional expectations of masculinity by condensing male characters into three types. [13:00] Do you agree? Let us know!Samantha ends her story with a quick note on the SATC reboot, And Just Like That.People have been vocal about how the show is forcibly inclusive.Samantha shares some examples and opines on how evolved the reboot is compared to the old show.What your verdict? Has this franchise evolved? Holler at us! @ maskulinitypodRemoy takes the mic and picks up where he left off with his new favorite show, Shrinking.In Shrinking, men, and characters in general, are imparted with nuance and humanity that was clearly missing from SATC's supporting characters.Remoy maintains his fave was snubbed at the Golden Globes and attempts to foster appreciation in Samantha for his new show.He shares a few clips from the show and lets Samantha ask clarifying questions about the show.Cue in intergenerational friendships, community problem-solving, open communication with teenage children, and healthy grey-area relationships between men and women.Shrinking does what And Just Like That attempted to do but in a realistic and relatable manner.Changing neighborhood dynamics leads folks to call out racist behavior, rather than yearning for the past. Remoy breaks down how characters deal with grief and changing dynamics in their lives.Samantha immediately takes to Derek and Remoy gives her the lowdown.In this ensemble cast, there are various folks support each other.The relationship between father and daughter is quite moving.Remoy gives praise to the writing of the show gracefully weaving themesReferenced on this episode:Our episode on TV DadsThe paper that informed Samantha's gamifying of TV dads?

Through round after round, our two co hosts explore how TV dads and masculinity have evolved over the decades.Samantha kicks things off with a clip of Al Bundy and his daughter Kelly. Does Remoy remember anything about this dysfunctional yet iconic duo? And what does our laughter about their relationship on Married With Children tell us about fatherhood three decades ago?Bonus Episode:  Remoy has to know. Was Samantha's own relationship with her father's anything like Al and Kelly's?You can't not talk 90's TV Dads and not think TGIF: Samantha highlights a heartfelt moment between Carl and Eddie Winslow, one of the few Black father-son relationships on 90s TV.They break down how Family Matters portrayed manhood and why this mattered for representation at the time.Samantha skips forward a decade or two to show Remoy the ultimate suburban survivalist: Modern Family's Phil Dunphy has a near-death epiphany on a camping trip. Remoy reflects on how Phil represents a new era of goofy yet emotionally vulnerable TV dads.You can't not talk TV and not talk animation. But it isn't Bart and Homer for Samantha. It's Bob Belcher from Bob's Burgers who in a tender and hilariously awkward clip bonds with his daughter Tina during a “hairy” situation.Samantha wants to know.
