TGIFailure 3: Marty Saves the Moon
Continuing our journey into TGIF's most cursed attempts at success, we move on to 1997's https://archive.org/details/teen-angel-1997-1998. Teen Angel is a bizarre oddity from a pair of Simpsons writers about a dead teenager who comes back to help his best friend through high school, which apparently means teaching him to date. Plus, Marty is the defender of space. Like this?

This is a list made by people who don't actually like TV. They like talking about TV. They like making TV feel Important and they like feeling Important for being in tune with Important TV, but they don't actually like TV.

Sep 22nd 1400 - Bilbo Baggins celebrated his "eleventy-first" birthday. On the same day Bilbo's cousin, Frodo Baggins, celebrated his 33rd birthday. 📽️📅 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
3 Screenshots from the movie "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001): First, a close-up of a parchment map of the Shire with the subtitle “The 22nd day of September in the year 1400 by Shire-reckoning.” Second, Gandalf in his wide-brimmed hat looking warmly at Frodo, subtitle reading “You didn’t think I’d miss your Uncle Bilbo’s birthday?” Third, a festive nighttime gathering of hobbits under lanterns and banners with a sign that says “Happy Birthday Bilbo Baggins,” as the crowd cheers and celebrates.

there was a time in the mid-00s where 30% of dvd covers were a composite photo of the cast seen through a woman's legs from behind, with a single-word title like BONERED or COCKSKETBALL in bright red all-caps letters on or above her ass.

TGIFailure #1: A Very Scarf-Heavy Point in Time
We're starting a new mini-series! TGIFailure explores the terrible shows that ABC tried to make into hits throughout the 80s and 90s by shoving them into their mildly successful TGIF block! First up, You Wish - an incredibly annoying attempt to ape that Sabrina-the-Teenage-Witch magic, but with a guy that will make you scream and beg for Pauly Shore.

Just saw a car with a fake license plate that was supposed to say "TGIF THANK GOD I'M FEMALE" but it had three different fonts and the "thank God" part was really tiny so it basically just said "TGIF I'M FEMALE" Anyway our upcoming miniseries is also about TGIF so that's a good way to announce it.
The podcast art for TGIFailure featuring a teenage angel, an alien squid thing and a curly haired guy whose vibe is just heinous.

NEW EPISODE: We're wrapping up our Mad About You mini-series with a look at the four-part episode that was supposed to be the show's finale, which would have - appropriately, been abrupt, cold, and generally unsatisfying but with a veneer of hope. I.... guess that sounds fun? LISTEN TO POD:
