Vicki Lawrence lit up TV screens for eleven years on The Carol Burnett Show and for an additional six years in her own spin-off sit-com, Mama’s Family. Mama has since become a cultural icon so take a seat and roll down your nylons. She’s still got plenty to say in "Vicki and Mama: A Two Woman Show." 

Vicki’s one hit wonder, “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia shot to number one and inspired a movie. But can Vicki explain the plot? The answer lies inside this episode which also features Karen Knotts whose one woman show pays tribute to her fabulous father, Don Knotts.

Plus Fritz and Weezy are recommending the Dead Eyes podcast and The Staircase on Netflix.

In the forty-seventh episode of Season 3 (Manifest Destiny) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, including actor Dan Bauer, novelist Alex Buda, and actor Ben McGinley, to discuss one of the most outrageous and downright groundbreaking satires of genre, culture, and racism in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles.

The Emmy and Golden Globe winner Harvey Korman was a staple on the Carol Burnett Show making America laugh in the 1960s and 1970s. During that time he was also raising a family, including his son, Christopher, who had a learning disability and speech impediment. In this episode, you will learn how Harvey Korman's legacy lives on through his son and their contributions to the special education community. Special Educators will hear about techniques Chris learned from his dad and the theater that helped him overcome his learning and speech challenges.

After listening to the podcast, be sure to purchase a copy of Chris's book entitled, OMG! It's Harvey Korman's Son, which is a love letter to Harvey Korman's fans.

This week the society rounds third and heads home to finish our trip through the gauntlet of the four pre-Lohan Herbie movies with a doozie, Herbie Goes Bananas, the 1980 international adventure directed by Vincent McEveety and starring Stephen W. Burns, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, and Joaquin Garay III.  Join us as we set sail aboard the Sun Princess and enjoy life at sea with a scenic trip to Mexico, Panama, and who knows where else.  Brace yourself - there are pickpockets, archeological opportunists, flirtatious cruisers, menacing bulls, maniacal naval figures, and, of course, bananas ahead.  We can only say you've been warned.  There. Will. Be. Bananza.
