It’s the sixth episode of the seven-part miniseries IT CAME FROM SYNDICATION! This time around, I continue my look at syndicated television from the 1980s and 1990s with a look at the “drama” category, which encompasses action, science fiction, and horror. I’m joined by friend and fellow podcaster Michael Bailey (Views from the Longbox) to talk about everything from Friday the 13th: The Series to Highlander.

It’s the premiere episode of a special seven-part Pop Culture Affidavit miniseries, IT CAME FROM SYNDICATION! Starting with THIS VERY EPISODE, I will be taking a look at syndicated television from the 1980s and the early 1990s, covering a variety of genres and shows. For our first time around, I start off by talking about the history of syndication in the United States and then move on to my personal history with syndication as a kid on Long Island. Then, I go into the first type of programming that I’m covering: movies. From Siskel & Ebert’s weekly review show to WPIX’s Godzillathon, I discuss why coming across movies in syndication was so important to me as a kid.
When I was growing up on Long Island, in a house that was deprived of the sweet sweet bliss that was cable television, I had seven channels to contend with. While I could watch whatever was on the major broadcast networks and PBS, I also had the opportunity to view a number of programs that were syndicated.
It’s the second of a two-part look at police story comics of the late 1980s and early 1990s! This time around, I look at the Marvel comics series Cops: The Job by Larry Hama, Joe Jusko, Mike Harris, and Jimmy Palmiotti from 1992.
It’s the first of a two-part look at police story comics of the late 1980s and early 1990s! This time around, I look at the DC Comics four-issue miniseries Underworld by Robert Loren Fleming and Ernie Colon from 1987.
