#107 – EVEN MORE CHRISTMAS EPISODES OF THE '80S & '90S

BINGE AND PODCAST: “Stranded at the airport, branded a yule.” (1986-1992) Who’s up for getting snowed in with some of their favorite sitcom characters? And the cast of Wings. This week, Bob and Tim are trying to get home for Holiday episodes of shows that include Full House, A Different World and The Golden Girls. And with all that you can expect some spontaneous caroling, seasonal cynicism and at least one heartfelt monologue on the magic of Christmas. Also … the cast of Wings.

00:00:00  UNLICENSED AUDIO - The Holiday Delusion of Uncle Jesse

00:00:48  GOD BURP YE MERRY GENTLEMEN - and a not so brief history of TV’s WINGS

00:05:28  DECEMBER 17TH 1992 - and what’s a Video Store?

00:14:46  DOES ANYONE KNOW ITS CHRISTMAS TIME? - and they’re still recapping the plot?

00:18:39  DECEMBER 16TH, 1988 - here we come a-widowing upon the eaves so green

00:24:48  SPOILER’S GREETINGS - seasonal spirit or selfish spectacle?

00:33:52  DECEMBER 17TH, 1987 - O’Henry Night

00:40:43  DECEMBER 20TH 1986 - It came upon a plot unclear

00:48:57 STOP! OR MY CLAUS WILL SHOOT -  and the holidays are about family or something

00:57:47  CHRISTMAS WRAP-UP - Full House for the holidays?  Or Silver And Golden Girls? 

01:01:09  CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase
