Binge Listen to the Show! Summer Edition

It's hot and you need a pool! Unfortunately you can't afford to do anything but sit in your one bedroom apartment above a fish hatchery and listen to a bunch of podcasts in a row!

What to download? "This American Life"? Too emotional! "Car Talk"? Too many blown carburetors! "Cliff and Kendall: Coast 2 Coast" it is!! BINGE Listen below to some super summer episodes from this summer and a few sepia-toned summers of yore:


Follow Cliff, Kendall, Mrs. Potterbutter Butterchurn, and Mr. Snodbottom on each of their ACTION-PACKED summer vacations!


Cliff and Kendall are forced to push "Busheltown Sobriety Week" and Delores makes her first polarizing appearance!


Everybody loves a good lawyer, right? Cool off in nothing but your legal briefs as you enjoy this episode.


Who can recall why we let Charles the Contractor produce an episode? Anybody?

After a show when Cliff and Kendall are forced to salute George W. Bush (250), the fat hosts revolt and do a show about their favorite things Bette Midler and Magic (251).

Why Does This Hurt?

IT DOES HURT!! I wanted to somehow bare that child and now my "boy-varies" won't ever get the chance. (Remember in ten years that I coined the phrase boyvaries, referring to a boy's ovaries.)

Couch Hunting

I'm thinking of buying a new sofa and I found myself drawn to the brown leather one in this photo. Now I don't really like the idea of leather, but maybe some kind of synthetic would do. An ottoman would also be a nice touch. 

The Late 90's as told by "Daria" Stills

Remember "Daria" from MTV's late 90's period? Yes or No- here we go: It's the 90's refracted through the lens of these screen shots of "Daria" (lalalala you're standing on my neck, etc.) First observation: 9 out of 10 shows on TV are some version of "Sick Sad World." 

Daria's sister Quinn was using a laptop not to go online, but to use one of those magic computer programs that let's you see what someone's head looks like on different outfits. 

JANE IS ON A PAYPHONE. 

Quick Variety Post

**This post was created to clear all these pics off my desktop**

Okay- up there? Yes! It is Our Lady of Broadcast Comedians: Kathy Griffin! This is from her episode of the classic Comedy Central cartoon series, "Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist." Every episode of "Dr. Katz" is on youtube and there are many big name guest stars! 

There's only one problem with One Direction, and it's that some of them are not Harry. 

I just really liked this picture. 

A still from "Dr. Katz"- just to commemorate the act of dubbing videos with 2 VCRs- wipe away the tears as you recall doing this!! 

THE END

"Beetlejuice" Season 4, Episode 1. My Take

Okay, so let's talk about the Beetlejuice animated series. Would a situation like this happen today: a kinda scary hit movie that has the F word in it is turned into a kid's cartoon show that runs for several seasons. Would it???

Anyway, I think this entire episode ("You're History") takes place entirely in the Netherworld. (Or Neitherworld, whichever it is). Lydia is nowhere to be seen! The show begins with this monster guy watching TV. (Satire?) I'd forgotten about him, but now I know I never will. He does have at least one eye because it popped out when he got super angry a few moments later. 

He was watching his favorite show: Netherworld's Funniest Fatalities (How does this not come on Tru TV?) and it was interrupted by who but Beetlejuice! You see he's flooding the airwaves with his own show!
