EPISODE #125 - Life with Lucy (1986)

TELEHELL-O-WEEN 2026 concludes by returning to (quite possibly) the scariest era known to mankind........DISCO. As we look at a longtime cult classic (50 years to the Day it was premiered if you're listening in 2026) to find out if being campy and being scary are one in the same...

TELEHELL-O-WEEN 2026 Continues with the seemingly frequent reminder that Witches can be one of Two things; either (1) Supernatural beings Here-bent on creating mischeif with their magic, or (2) supernatural beings who are, somehow, more content doing housework & child rearing.

This one Hurts... Bless you, #EricBauza...

Welcome to TELEHELL-O-WEEN 2026!! As usual, we will be looking at THREE shows this week that have even the slightest scent of spooky on its carcass...and we begin with one of those shows that refuses to die; no matter how many times you recast the actors...

Today, we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of "I Love Lucy" by celebrating (I guess?) the 40th anniversary of Lucille Ball's TV Swan Song...If by "Swan Song", you mean the sound it makes as it's liver is being turned into Pâté.

WWOR-TV, we hardly Knew 'Ye...then again, that might've Already happened 25+ years before you Officially became a FOX clone.

Yes, we admit it, our next show is gonna be late (But don't worry, "Life With Lucy" WILL Happen Next week). To make it up to you, we kill time by "Reading the Phonebook" of TV Knowledge; as we look at a list TV Guide put out over 30 years ago and see if any of it holds up. BONUS: If you can make it through the whole thing, we will tell you about the rest of the shows we're doing this Calendar Year (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas)

I'm too tired to type up anything witty; we sat through the Emmys, we recapped it, we had to hear Captian Benson Sing; and here now is the result of sacrificing my sleep cycle!

IN THIS UPDATE: *My Health *The Emmys *Life With Lucy *Telehell-O-Ween *A NEW Telehell Game Show (Coming Soon)

SPECIAL: I work a Hard 1-show-per Month; I think it's time that I took a break from things (HOLD FOR SARCASTIC EYE ROLL). So today, we're going to go on a Road Trip to see as much of The USA as we possibly can in under 2 hours by looking at moments when LOCAL TV failed just as much as Network TV did; Here's the Road Map: 0:00 - Intro 7:00 - The REAL WKRP-FM (and is the TV Show the ONLY Successful TV show about Radio?) 27:58 - Rax Restaurants & "Mr. Delicious" 46:48 - AFTER THE BREAK 48:36 - The 2013 Detroit "Bowling for Dollars" Scam 67:49 - KIRO Seattle's "News Out The Box" (1993) 89:16 - Dateline NBC's "Waiting To Explode" Fraud (1992) SPONSORED BY: Dave's Archives StudioThreeTV Kier's Nostalgia Corner Kev The Ripper And (as always) Our Patrons NOTE: We DID Advertise new Bonus shows on our Patreon; but I'm in the middle of a (Unexpectedly Complicated) Move to a new place. But we WILL Post them NEXT WEEK (8/13 & 14) On our Patreon.
