Telehell

A long time ago, I tried to rig a cable box so I could watch Free Pay Per View...The resulting electric shock I got from tampering with the box resulted in a One-way trip to Hell, where my punishment is to review the worst/dumbest TV shows of all time for All of Eternity, and use Dante's Nine Circles of Hell as a Ratings system...this will continue until the time ever comes when I find the ONE TV Show in the world that checks off all Nine Circles, or until I become bored with doing the show (Whichever occurs first). This is Telehell; The Podcast where We cover the worst, the dumbest, the most sin-worthy of TV moments from the past 7 decades. Add dry wit and cheesy jokes to the mix, and you've got something that will last throughout eternity--we hope. New Shows are now MONTHLY (Life got in the way one too many times), but we're still here...and remember..."If It's Not in Telehell...It's Not worth a Damn!"

SPECIAL: The Road Trip From Hell

Aug 9, 2026

SPECIAL: I work a Hard 1-show-per Month; I think it's time that I took a break from things (HOLD FOR SARCASTIC EYE ROLL). So today, we're going to go on a Road Trip to see as much of The USA as we possibly can in under 2 hours by looking at moments when LOCAL TV failed just as much as Network TV did; Here's the Road Map:

0:00 - Intro
7:00 - The REAL WKRP-FM (and is the TV Show the ONLY Successful TV show about Radio?)
27:58 - Rax Restaurants & "Mr. Delicious"
46:48 - AFTER THE BREAK
48:36 - The 2013 Detroit "Bowling for Dollars" Scam
67:49 - KIRO Seattle's "News Out The Box" (1993)
89:16 - Dateline NBC's "Waiting To Explode" Fraud (1992)
