Bad Reception: Making the Best of Bad TV – Details, episodes & analysis

Get ready for some situations, and maybe even some comedy, as we drop the first episode in our "S(t)einfeld Stinkers" series! This time Jason Alexander goes from lovably enraged loser George Costanza to a third rate Tony Robbins named Bob Patterson. The ep we watched, "Naked Bob," deals with his serious confidence issues regarding his downtown region. That's right, there's lots of boner talk in this one! (more so even than usual!) With the biggest comedy hit of all time only a few years behind him, how did J-Xan's followup sitcom fold faster than Kramer in The Contest?? This old-school style ABC laugh-track comedy aired only 5 episodes before getting nixed. I mean, seriously, what is the deal?

Did you know that “P.I.” stands for Paranormal Investigator? Well, that’s because it doesn’t, but ghosts are abound (or are they??) in this episode of the seminal 80s classic, Magnum P.I.!! We were both shamefully unfamiliar with the mega-hit show and thought it would be fun to close out the Halloween season with a spooky episode of a cheesy 80s staple. Did it scare us down to our skeleton bones, or bury us with boredom? One thing is for sure, we talk a lot about how attractive Tom Selleck is!! Happy Halloween everyone!

Kick or Treat, baddies!! The Halloween season is upon us again, and you know what that means! A whole month of Horror shows and Halloween specials!

We're back!! And so is Jenna Elfman! That's right, it's an all new Elfman on the Shelf! This time she's taking her lovable quirks all the way to White House in the politically inept 2012 NBC comedy, 1600 Penn! Now the Elfster is playing second fiddle to America's favorite singing snowman, Josh Gad! The votes are in, and viewers elected... to change the channel.

Plus we ruminate on what Jenna Elfman's porn name might be, Morgan ponders whether or not she can retroactively give birth to Josh Gad, and Mike records the next big auto-tune hit! More like FAIL to the Chief!

Don't call it a rerun! We celebrate 10,000 downloads with a special edition re-release of one of our favorite early episodes! Already heard it? Well, there's some all new content bookending it! We'll be back next week with a new episode but hopefully this flashback will tide you over until then. 

This week we watch the bay... and the skies!! It's the Baywatch spinoff turned X-Files knockoff, Baywatch Nights! And that means anything goes. Or does it? We're still not sure. Jason Diego Mederos (of Hi Eduardo and Oh Shit! That's Scary) joins us to to bare witness to one of the craziest shows we've ever had the pleasure to be forced to watch! It's episode 219 "The Eighth Seal" and things are gonna saucy all over your nugs... Also, we were all drinking.

Cut The Shit: Morgan - Ghost Watch  Jason - The Riches Mike - MTV's Scream: The Series

We Have The Power!!! The power to watch really bad 90s cartoon reboots that is! It's everyone's favorite muscle bound sword-swinger, He-Man! But not quite like you remember him. That's right, just a few years after Masters of the Universe, in 1990, He-Man was rebooted, lamer, and tamer than ever! Remember Skeletor, the awesome, ripped skeleton-man menace? He's here too! Except, now he sucks! What a great idea!! Just take everything that was cool about the original and make it terrible! Can you sense the sarcasm!?!!?

Plus, Morgan reveals her true robotronic roots, Mike fails to accurately remember almost anything about the original show, and we spend more time talking about 90s board games, Academy Award Winner Eric Roberts, and letting artificial intelligence complete our show for us, than the actual episode! Listen now, or we'll give you a bowl mullet!

The world has been clamoring for another Small Reception, and you know that we never disappoint! ...Okay, so nobody actually asked for it, but we didn't have time to do full episode this week, and it's better than nothing right?? We talk about Mike's two true loves: Carly Rae Jepsen and WWE wrestling, Morgan's many new soda-based jobs, our favorite TGIF shows, magic powers, visits to TV sets, and some stories about funny kids. Mostly we just shoot the shucks and read random questions from the internet. Is that anything? I really don't know. Hope you enjoy it!!

We dish out the hot goss on the sexiest episode of Bad Reception yet! That's right it's episode 69 and you know what that means: obligatory innuendos and plenty of us saying, "nice." Get ready for a buttload of gasps, slaps, and stabs in the back, it's the 2009 reboot of Melrose Place.We're joined by our good friend, and fan of the show, Tara!! Morgan shows up a little late, but I promise she's on the episode! Whether or not she watched the show... well, that's a whole other story! Haha. 

Plus, Mike fanboys over Ashlee Simpson, Tara gets excited for her alma mater, Morgan tries to figure out exactly who Brooke Burke is, and we all reveal how little we know about art! More like Smellrose Place.

Cut the Shit: Morgan - Derry Girls S2, The Cola Wars Tara - Brooklyn 99, One Day at a Time, BIFL Mike - Once Upon a Time...
