Forgotten TV: Recent Episodes
Chris Cooling
The podcast that brings you TV memories of the 70s and 80s! Including short lived shows, pilots and TV movies you might have forgotten about!
In this special episode of Forgotten TV, journey back to the fall of 1986, when NBC urged America to “Come Home,” ABC proclaimed, “We Belong Together,” and CBS asked viewers to “Share the Spirit.”
Through rare promos, network image campaigns, and the debut of new shows including ALF, L.A. Law, Head of the Class, Designing Women, My Sister Sam (and several others you probably don't remember), explore a fascinating moment when all three major networks seemed to be selling something larger than television itself: family, togetherness, reassurance, and emotional connection...with NBC and CBS occasionally resembling a boisterous Sunday morning revival meeting. We also explore the likely reason that:
NBC invited viewers to "Come Home."
ABC insisted "We Belong Together."
CBS urged audiences to "Share the Spirit."

The signal has been intercepted.
In this episode of Forgotten TV, we begin a deep dive into the 1985 NBC sci-fi comedy Misfits of Science, starting with the pilot telefilm “Deep Freeze.” From a Cold Open “intercept” to a totally official Humanidyne corporate promo reel, this episode sets the stage for one of television’s strangest and most overlooked experiments.
Explore the origins of the Human Investigation Team (HIT), meet the Misfits, and revisit a world of cryogenics, neutron beams, and 1980s science gone wonderfully sideways as we declassify each episode.
This is Part One of a two-part event.

In this special episode of Forgotten TV, dive into the origins, post-series afterlife, and cultural impact of The Brady Bunch. Beginning with 1969’s “The Voice of Christmas,” the show’s only holiday episode and a pivotal moment that may have saved the series from early cancellation, examine why its themes of belief, family, and unity still resonate more than fifty years later.
From there, trace the Bunch's uneven journey into adulthood, exploring the short-lived revival The Brady Brides, the enormously successful reunion movie A Very Brady Christmas—watched by nearly 40% of American TV households—and the ambitious but ill-fated 1990 dramedy The Bradys. Finally, a look at more the recent pop culture resurgence, abandoned modern revival attempt, and the enduring legacy of the show.

Step into the shadows with Forgotten TV as we uncover the eerie history behind ABC’s short-lived 1981 anthology series Darkroom, hosted by James Coburn.
In this feature-length episode, we trace the chilling lineage of radio and television horror—from the crackling terror of The Witch’s Tale and Lights Out to the haunting glow of TV anthologies like The Twilight Zone, Thriller, and Night Gallery. You’ll hear the story of how Darkroom was hastily developed in the wake of a Hollywood writers’ strike, explore its behind-the-scenes production struggles, and revisit its twisted tales—each one a macabre snapshot from television’s forgotten gallery of nightmares.
Along the way, we’ll shine a light on creators Peter S. Fischer, Robert F. O’Neill, and Christopher Crowe, and examine how Darkroom bridged the gap between old-time radio horror and the TV anthologies that followed—culminating in the 1980s boom of syndicated horror offerings.

In this episode, Forgotten TV explores the origins of humanity’s first space stations—both real and imagined. From the secret Soviet Almaz military program and America’s Skylab, we'll look back at how these milestones were foreshadowed by decades of speculative fiction as well as futurist visions such as Gerard O’Neill’s massive orbital colonies of the 1970s.
But before we were able to gaze at these fantastical artistic depictions, a 1971 MGM-produced telefilm was broadcast on ABC which depicted life on board an international space station called...Earth II. Written by Allen Balter and William Read Woodfield.
We also look at the life and work of prolific Argentinian pianist, composer, and conductor Lalo Schifrin - who has contributed over 100 film/TV themes to our popular culture.

Popi debuted May 2, 1975 on CBS at 8/7pm Central. This sitcom pilot was based on the 1969 film Popi with Alan Arkin and Rita Moreno.
"Popi had a dream...and the only way he could make it come true was to put his two boys in a rowboat and set them adrift in the ocean."
This podcast contains a short review of the Popi film, as well as a bit of behind-the-scenes information on its production. Then, just about everything known about the now-obscure Popi series is covered, including a recording of the theme song not heard in nearly 50 years, courtesy TV historian Billy Ingram.

The 1982-83 ABC TV series Tales of the Gold Monkey is extensively considered, featuring a two-hour interview with producer Tom Greene.
Correction: The 'hero' Grumman Goose (tail number N327) is not at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY as stated in the podcast. Their Goose is tail number NC16913 and I misinterpreted a caption on their website. The 'hero' Goose totaled in the 2005 crash was purchased by a Samuel D. for a restoration. He evidently finished, as public flight records show it flew in December 2019, flying 146 nautical miles in central Arkansas.

The short lived CBS MASH spin-off series AfterMASH is considered, including a brief overview of the origins of MASH, an episode review; and many hard to find details, facts about the show, and bits of trivia are divulged.
Correction: I am likely in error regarding my conclusion that ep 21, By The Book was 'pulled' from airing on 3-5-1984. While it is true no English language US recording seems to have surfaced of this episode, multiple newspapers have By The Book listed on the daily TV listings for that date. In addition, David Goehner states he remembered seeing it; and MASH4077tv.com lists Neilsen ratings for the episode from that date.

Join me on Forgotten TV where I explore TV memories of the 70s and 80s, from the fondly remembered to the obscure, short-lived TV shows, pilots, and made for TV movies.
Your ForgottenTV host was raised on UHF reruns of Star Trek and The Twilight Zone on a black and white 19 inch Admiral TV, long before the average household had home video and back when you had to catch shows when they were on. An utter TV and media nerd, I recorded TV theme songs on a Panasonic cassette recorder, had the ‘Television 1970-1980’ book, wrote my own episode guides to Battlestar Galactica, Greatest American Hero and Wonder Woman, as well as my own episode of The Twilight Zone and my first aired radio spot all in middle school.
