    Episode 587--Fridays

    Our SNL 50th birthday celebration wraps up with a contender to the throne which was a direct rip-off of SNL; the head of ABC admitted as much!  Fridays had its moments, but it sorely missed making recurring characters who would be remembered nowadays.  It also had thrilling guest hosts like Henny Youngman!  Grab a bite to eat, as this is one of our longest shows to date.

    Episode 586--Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell

    In Fall 1975, two different shows named Saturday Night Live premiered--the one we know, albeit without the Live moniker, and this show, a variety/talk show hosted by arguably ABC's biggest personality (and definitely ABC's biggest mouth) at the time.  Despite its deserving role as one of the worst shows in television history, very little footage of this series exists...which may be a good thing.

    The Squared Circle Time Machine: Episode 24 - WCW Main Event (10.09.94)

    The Masked Man arc continues on the SCTM as Greg and Dane go to Center Stage in Atlanta for a special live episode of the WCW Main Event as Hulk Hogan and Dave Sullivan team up against Ric Flair and a mystery partner. We also react to Ric Flair putting his career on the line against Hogan's at the upcoming Halloween Havoc PPV, along with discussion regarding the Honky Tonk Man, the Sega 32X, and a young Road Dogg as a jobber for Double A.

    Episode 585--Saturday Night Live Season 20

    The 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live's premiere is happening next week, on October 11th. As the 51st season of SNL starts tomorrow night, we decided to look at another disastrous SNL season, having covered Season 6 (episode 97) and Season 11 (episode 265) previously.  SNL was at a time of weakness, having lost key contributors in the previous year.  The show lost even more contributors in S20.  To add insult to injury, there would be a new kid on the block on another network.

    The Squared Circle Time Machine gets ready for war as Dusty and Dustin Rhodes team up with The Nasty Boys to do battle with Col. Parker and his Stud Stable in the War Games Match at Fall Brawl 1994. We also continue the arc with The Masked Man from Episode 18 and see if he enters into the picture as Hulk Hogan tries his best to get Ric Flair back into the ring for a rematch at Halloween Havoc, brother!

    Episode 584--Work It

    Last year, Greg put this show up in the annual Viewer's Choice vote.  It did not win.  As always, we cover the shows that didn't win the vote in the following year.  After seeing this, Greg regretted ever picking this.  We all make mistakes, just like ABC did in 2012 after picking up this show which was like Bosom Buddies, but that's where the comparisons end.  The complete series aired, but not domestically, for some reason.  Suffer along with us, won't you?
