In the wake of the success of Lost, networks greenlit many of their own attempts to capture that vibe. Maybe none were more notable than Heroes, which was huge for a minute and then promptly forgotten. Let's remember some 2000s guys.

Pee-wee's Playhouse
We're off to Puppetland as we try to explain the phenomenon that was Pee-wee Herman, one of the most inexplicable great comedy personas in history. Would you move into a house where every object is alive? Can we do any of the various Pee-wee voices? And can Ian make it through the podcast without saying the Word of the Day?

Tales From the Crypt
Good evening, ladies and ghouls, it's spooky season so we are taking a look at the classic HBO anthology series Tales From the Crypt. We debate many important questions, like "Should the Cryptkeeper be canceled?" and "Why is the last episode of this an animated twist on the Three Little Pigs?"

Stephen debuts a new character as we discuss Jason Momoa's post-apocalyptic fantasy series about a world where almost everybody is blind. This somehow existed for three seasons but you have probably never heard of it! Baba Voss

Dinosaurs
The last show we discussed ended with demons being released from Hell and encroaching on the greater Copenhagen area, so we thought we'd lighten the mood with a bizarre sitcom about dinosaurs and how they're just like us. Except that it ends with the world ending and the implied death from starvation/exposure coming for every character, including a catchphrase-spewing baby. Not the mama! Gotta love me!
