Customer Reviews
Be seeing you!
This series takes the classic television show episode by episode, recaps it, highlights production details and discusses the issues. Like most Afterbuzz shows, only with the advantage of much hindsight and research. Ably hosted by Phil Svitek and aided by Meredith Placko and Stef Z; sometimes the conversations wandered into the weeds to my jaundiced ear, only to reemerge with some fresh insight that frankly, I would never have thought of. Snow White? Hey, thanks for blowing my mind. A worthy addition to the Village lore; an evergreen program for sure.
Just not very good
Having been a fan of the show since 1968, I had high hopes. Alas, these folks just make too many mistakes and make babble on and and on, having no idea what the 1960s were like. They really needed to do some better research.
Marred by errors
I just discovered this podcast as I decided to park a podcast with a rewatch of the series. Unfortunately, the hosts routinely mangle the English language and have minimal knowledge of history or literature. A podcast for nitwits by nitwits.
