For the first time on the podcast, we look at a Hallmark Christmas movie. In this 2013 TV movie, Alicia Witt plays an NYC store owner who gets proposed to by the man of her dreams but when she's sent to the airport by herself to meet her family a series of accidents happen and hilarity ensues. Will she find love with the man she believes is her brother or will she stay with the snooty rich fiancee? I think you already know the answer to that question. Merry Christmas everybody!

We're a few days away from Christmas and we thought it would be appropriate and timely to look at commercials for the must have gift of 1989, an item celebrating its 35th birtheay this year--the Nintendo GameBoy. Here are the commercials in this episode, with links:

In what is a first, we present our first instant minisode. Chico was sent a video of a creepy Folgers commercial from 16 years ago. After bringing it to everybody's attention, a decision was made to cover this immediately, instead of waiting until Christmas 2025. Who knew the addition of one word could turn this commercial from heartwarming to creepy?

We have seen this time and time again--a network reboots a series which ran for a considerable amount of time, only for it to flop badly. This time, the victim is Family Affair, which The WB felt was worthy of rebooting over 30 years after the original show ended. Against tough competition, this version quietly whimpered away after a half year.

It took over 500 episodes, but we are finally talking about what many consider to be the worst television show of all-time. A deceased man's mother gets reincarnated into a 1928 automobile, communicating with her son through the radio. That's the premise. Jerry Van Dyke passed up being Gilligan for this. If all the above isn't unbelieveable enough, one of the world's biggest entertainers did a cover version of the theme song.

We gave you three selections in our Viewer's Choice vote, and this is the show that came out on top. We have another spinoff show from a popular parent show. Also, we have another spinoff show that got amazing ratings in its premiere season, which fell off in the second and final season. In early 1980, audiences were flocking to see Flo. By 1981, audiences were telling it to kiss their grits.

Years ago, we did our first installment on TV-themed trading cards, focusing mainly on cards from the past. With the resurgence in the popularity of trading cards, we decided to do a second volume, focusing on trading cards, specifically those over the last decade. Some of the biggest franchises offer cards, so you can own a piece of those shows or an autograph of one of the stars.

In 1968, the song Harper Valley PTA was a number one hit for Jeannie C. Riley. In 1978, the song was the inspiration for a movie with the same title, starring Barbara Eden. Three years later, this show came into being with Eden at the helm, about the battles Eden's character had with the PTA of a fictional Ohio town called Harper Valley.
