“There was a sense of discovery about what this series was going to be about. It was going to be about young people -- with all of their shenanigans, and the maneuvering, and all the silliness that takes place with that. But it was also going to be about growing up. These five people, and the fabric that holds them together.”  -- Asaad Kelada - producer/director, The Facts of LifeSusan and Sharon welcome legendary Director Asaad Kelada.

This was television in a new form.RUNAWAY TRAIN: Asaad describes the increasing tension and hi-stakes artistry of a show as it speeds thru its season -- and how he learned to not fall off!ON CHARLOTTE RAE: “She and I were the grownups in the room. She was the centerpiece in a show about four girls.”STORY CONFERENCE -- WITH THE CAST: “After the table read, we'd just talk -- talk about what the episode is dealing with, what it's about, how it all ties together.”FACTS OF LIFE GOES TO PARIS: “It was a trial by fire. Every single shot, every single frame was filmed on location. We were at Notre Dame, the Champs Elysee… How can this be called a job?”So join Susan and Sharon -- and Asaad -- as they talk George Clooney, The Bob Newhart Show, Grant Tinker, Geri Jewel, speaking French, Bill Haley & the Comets, Nancy McKeon -- and being ready when your opportunity finally comes!GET READY FOR PART 2 -- NEXT EPISODE!

Welcome back to a Thanksgiving Edition of the Video Store Podcast! We've selected a veritable cornucopia of Thanksgiving-themed specials and films for you to watch this week, so make a plate and join us for a feast of fun and festive Thanksgiving recommendations. First up is Garfield's Thanksgiving from 1989. This delightful special puts Garfield on a diet, sees Jon and Liz on their first date, and will give you a belly full of laughter. It also brings back a fan-favorite character from the Garfield and Friends animated series and other Garfield specials—Grandma, voiced by the late, great Pat Carroll. Join us on the couch for a feast of laughter with Garfield. The next course is the iconic episode from the 1978 sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, “Turkeys Away.” Even if you've never seen a single episode of WKRP, you can still watch “Turkeys Away” and still understand everything that's going on, and will laugh along with the show. You too will believe turkeys can fly when you watch “Turkeys Away.”Our third course this week is the evergreen Thanksgiving staple, 1973's A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. It's not the holidays without the Peanuts gang and that includes Thanksgiving. Make a plate of toast, pretzel sticks, popcorn, and jelly beans, and wash it all down with a parfait as you enjoy A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving with us, you sly dog. Finally, the John Hughes 1987 comedy classic, Planes, Trains & Automobiles is a fantastic dessert to polish off your Thanksgiving celebrations. Filled with good humor, screwball mishaps, and a lot of heart, it's the perfect finish to your Thanksgiving celebrations. We recommend watching this film with your best buddy, and we hope that if you do any traveling this Thanksgiving season, you have a much easier time than Neal and Del. We also hope you don't have to race Kevin Bacon for a cab either. Thanks for joining us this week on the Video Store Podcast. We hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving with the ones you love, and enjoy these Thanksgiving specials along with us. This is a public episode.

8 more 70's movie reviews in the can. Starting things off today with (Billy Jack 1971). This is a sequel to a 1967 film called Born Losers, and it is just out of our reach for us. Here is a movie written by the 2 stars in the film and directed by BJ himself. Seems like a real labor of love, and it's pretty great and we'll tell ya'll about it very shortly, or we already are and your reading while your listening, how can you do that? Before we move on BJ is a film about a safe haven and school for outcasts and people of color, where close minded murderous Hicks are just outside the border, waiting to be racist and horrible to the max, I do hope someone has amazing fighting skills hmmm. One more thing, Howard Hesseman……..Johnny Flippin Fever from WKRP is HERE in this film, however, we suck and said it was Venus Flytrap, sorry bout that  icky rookie mistake, Venus was played by the amazing Tim Reid and he is not in this film. Moving on to (Duck, you sucker 1971) Here we have the awful man who will soon have no friends from Happy birthday Wanda June (Rod Steiger), and the gross reporter guy from Goldengirl, (James Coburn), starring in this film about how to become heroes in the Mexican revolution. Hmmmmmm, your gonna need an explosives expert. Next up is (The Outside Man 1972) which stars a focused French guy, the guy that wants the beaches closed and doesn't care about yer concession sales,  the amazing Ann flippin Margaret, and Angie (dressed to kill) Dickinson. Here is a movie with the idea of action, with out a lot of it, 70's style.  You get to see massive amounts of driving round L.A. You can see the old Venice amusement pier, some of the weird street characters, and one thing we wanted to mention but spaced it, was the appearance of public electric shaver in a bathroom, which seems unsanitary, hey, I gots time let's look it up….Time has passed, and the internet has failed me, or perhaps my use of it has failed. (Badge 373 1973)  Verna Bloom, star of a western we all liked, The Hired Hand, is here with Robert Duvall, Henry Darrow, and Radical 60's n 70's activist and Young Lord Felipe Luciano. Here we have some competing actors and the inspirational Felipe, kinda stuck in some budget cop movie, based on the guy whose budget cop stories also inspired the French connection character of Popeye D. Onward we strut to the light and uplifting Ingmar Bergman classic (Scenes from a Marriage 1974), almost too heavy to get into, but I don't really have to, I'll  just skim that surface for you and move on. You've got amazing acting, directing, and cinematography, a good script etc. I wonder what could ever go wrong with a film focused on and icky relationship, through the years. He is horrid to the max, and it is worthwhile to examine relationships and the social norms and conditioning that live inside them. Gosh it was just difficult for your beloved D.U.I. crew to get through. Come with us now to 1975 with (Rancho Deluxe). Rancho Deluxe, is the Slim Pickens holy grail that I didn't even know I was looking for. Now, you have other stuff goin on here, like  Starman (Jeff Bridges) and the dad from Serial Mom (Sam Waterson) are trying to pay rent and piss off a bull baron guy, although Bridges is slumming it, so to speak. Also serial mom's dad's Dad is played by Joe Spinell and he steals the dang show for the scene he's in. Lot's of good talent here, but is it good, or great, listen to find out? Second to last today we review (Outlaw Josey Wales 1976) a puzzling film directed by Clint Eastwood starring Sondra Locke, and Chief mother flippin Dan George, that's it. Finally today we enjoy (Corevette Summer 1978) “It's not even his car, it belongs to the school, It's not even your car!!” This film has Mary Jo Shively from designing woman, and Luke Skywalker from Star Wars  confronting the guy from Laser Blast to return the schools hot rod, back to the school.

Season's Greetings, on this episode of CSWL, we cover the 1980's sitcom 'WKRP in Cincinnati 'and its famed Thanksgiving Day special.  You don't need to be a WKRP fan or even have seen the episode in question. You just need to tolerate Kev hosting with Covid and brain fog. Still, we discuss everything from how this show and episode was based on true life and what life working at radio stations was like back in the day (and how that life no longer exists). We also cover how the Thanksgiving episode saved the fledgling series, why this episode frequently ranks in the all-time top 100 and how the one original line at the end created a saying we all use today.  Gen Z surprisingly found little to be offended over, too, as the march to the greatest holiday continues!   Comments?

A strange but true story (and alleged ghost story) involving murdered Sal Mineo and Gary Sandy aka Travis from WKRP Richard Sanders aka Less Nessman studying news commentary from the Hindenburg crash to prep for the role. Howard Hessman aka Johnny Fever as the perfect burnout DJ of the era. Frank Bonner aka Herb's last-minute improv. Gordon Jump as the Maytag man and the iconic line he took from his mother to end the episode that has become mainstream today.  Keven Undergaro Regular Guy Friday Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1320060107?i=1000631977533 Christian Bladt The Bladtcast: https://on.soundcloud.com/hty23Cr4so5myD51A
