Your Forgotten TV host was raised on UHF reruns of shows like Star Trek and The Twilight Zone on a black and white 19-inch Admiral TV, long before the average household had home video and back when you had to catch shows when they were on. An utter TV and media nerd, I recorded TV theme songs on a Panasonic cassette recorder, had the Television 1970-1980 book, wrote my own episode guides to Battlestar Galactica, Greatest American Hero and Wonder Woman, as well as my own episode of The Twilight Zone and my first aired radio spot all in middle school. My first job was at a movie theater, where I was the ‘voice of the theater’ for several years, which led to doing the theater’s radio spots and stints at a couple of local radio stations in the early 90s.
Today, I produce Forgotten TV, a well-researched podcast that brings you TV memories of the 70s and 80s, with a focus on short-lived TV shows and made for TV movies. You may have also heard me on other shows like Stuck in the 80s, Forgotten Filmcast, The OSI Files, or Walnut Grovecast. Forgotten TV can be a documentary style podcast on a particular TV series, or explore a theme such as 70s superheroes, Saturday morning TV, time travel, or the work of a particular actor.
Over the past eight years, Forgotten TV has become a leading authority on obscure TV from the 70s/80s, earning public and private compliments from entertainment industry professionals, including the producers of the shows covered. The considerations of TV series like Whiz Kids, Automan, Tales of the Gold Monkey, James at 15, The Phoenix, Angie, Street Hawk, and others are comprehensive, and some have been called ‘definitive documentaries’ on these shows. Many podcasts have revealed never before heard details about behind the scenes production and go beyond the superficial DVD documentaries that have been produced.
