Raised on Television
Raised on Television
We grew up in a time when TV wasn’t just background noise – it was the main event. Raised in the era between bell-bottoms and big hair, we didn’t just watch history; we lived it through our TV screens. We witnessed television transform from angst-filled sitcoms and gritty hour long dramas to feel-good family comedies and hour long dramas that highlighted the excess of the 80’s. These shows not only entertained us but also reflected the shifting tides of the times. Our love for television runs deep – maybe a little too deep – but we’re okay with that. There was a ton of great TV when we were growing up, and we think those unforgettable episodes in our past, plus the ones that came before and after, deserve another moment in the spotlight. Whether it’s for the laughs, the lessons, or just a fat cup of nostalgia, these shows had that special something that keeps us coming back. That’s why we’re diving headfirst into the best episodes ever (handpicked by experts and some by our very biased selves), sharing our thoughts, a few laughs, and maybe even some trivia you didn’t know you needed. So, if you’re as TV-obsessed as we are, put down the remote, grab your buds (ear and otherwise!) and join us as we check out some binge, and sometimes cringe-worthy television!

#69.  Buffalo Bill (1984), "Jerry Lewis Week"

You know how some shows take time off and tell you in advance? Yeah, that's not us because, well, we don't really plan on taking time off it just sort of takes us off! We hope you enjoyed the few weeks off and that it helped you catch up on your other, less favorite podcasts that you sacrifice listening to so that you can take in ALL of the richness that each episode of Raised on Television has to offer!


Now, on with the show! We're on #69 on TV Guide's list and today's entry is a 1984 episode of Buffalo Bill, "Jerry Lewis Week. This is an interesting show with a great ensemble cast that Stephanie keenly points out is largely underutilized. So tune in for a breakdown of the episode and then we'll have some great bonus content for you later in the episode. We're glad to be back and even happier you're here!
