    Episode I0: Lost in Translation: Britcom to American Sitcom

    Television producers are always looking for the next big thing and ideas can be scarce, so, why don't borrow other show's ideas?  This episode gives some examples of British situation comedies that were adapted for American audiences. While there have been great successes, such as "The Office," "All in the Family," and "Three's Company," there have been some pretty appalling failures as well.   This week's show looks at shows that may have had a pilot (or two) produced, but no American series ever made it on the schedule.  Please be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram @randomretrospective and if you have questions or comments, please contact us at randomretrospective@gmail.com.

    Episode 3: Welcome to the Village: An Introduction to "The Prisoner."

    This episode covers one of my absolutely favorite television series of all time! "The Prisoner." Unlike any before or since, "The Prisoner" has become one of the most iconic series of all time.

    Episode 2: Carry On...Up the Podcast! The Carry On Film Series

    This week's episode is about the British Comedy Film Series Carry On...  I've done a few new things since the last podcast including buying a mic that I think sounds a little better to mixing some music and clips into this podcast. I still have a lot to learn about mixing, but I'm sure it will get better as I go along.  Please be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram @randomretrospective and if you have questions or comments, please contact us at randomretrospective@gmail.com.  DISCLAIMER: This podcasts contains audio clips which fall under the guidelines of section 107 of the US copyright law.
