About this episode
The episode discusses the impact and celebration of 70s television.
Andrew and James dig into 1970s American television. The golden age of shows that had no business being as good as they were, and plenty that had no business existing at all. This comedy podcast episode is a loving, slightly unhinged tribute to the decade that gave us wood paneling, questionable fashion, and TV writing that somehow still holds up. If you grew up glued to the set or just want to understand what people mean when they talk about 70s TV, this funny conversation is for you.
