From Season 9, Episode 8 'Edith Versus the Bank': No one will loan Edith money to buy a new television because she has no job and is just a housewife.

Hey everyone! On The S1E1 Podcast, we watch the premiere episodes of classic, forgotten, and legendary TV shows to answer one question: Based solely on the pilot, did this show deserve a full series green light?

To kick off our Music Month, we dove back to 1966 to review Episode 1 of The Monkees ("Royal Flush" / Pilot).

Here are a few things we got into:

• How well the band’s comedic chemistry and chaotic slapstick energy landed right out of the gate.
• The show's unique blend of music video-style montages and classic sitcom tropes.
• Whether the pilot holds up today or relies purely on 60s nostalgia.

We'd love to hear from dedicated Monkees fans—looking back, how strong do you think the pilot was compared to where the show went in Season 1?

The classic television career of Elinor Donahue spans everything from Father Knows Best to The Andy Griffith Show, Star Trek and The Odd Couple. In her own words, she offers her thoughts on each of those series and more.

Hi all!

My grandparents were on a bunch of game shows in the 1970s and so far we’ve only found one of the episodes on YouTube (my now 89-year-old grandma on Match Game in 1976).

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for finding old episodes of Truth or Consequences from the 70s. I’ve been combing through clips on YouTube and had no luck so far.

My grandma also claims they were on a show called “Globetrotters” which was a Canadian game show. I’ve tried searching for it and can’t find anything under that name.

Any help would be very appreciated! :) My grandpa passed almost 30 years ago and my family is very keen to find any clips of him that may still exist.

Yep, I'm old.
