🎙️ Hot Flash Chronicles – Episode: Rewind and Cringe: TV Shows That Shaped Us 📺🛋️
From variety shows and VHS to crushes on cartoon characters and controversial sitcoms, we’re going full nostalgia mode
Angie and Shelly take a hilarious trip down memory lane, revisiting the wild world of TV from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. From the wholesome to the wildly inappropriate (by today’s standards), this episode is a love letter to the shows that shaped us—and a reminder that some of them absolutely would not make it to air today.
🛋️ Family Viewing in the 70s and 80s – Carol Burnett, Barbara Mandrell, Lawrence Welk, All in the Family, Maude, and Sunday night Disney.
💥 The Golden Age of Cheesy Drama – Dynasty, Dallas, Knots Landing, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and the ultra-corny variety shows.
🤣 Comedies We Loved (But Probably Shouldn’t Have) – Three’s Company, Silver Spoons, Different Strokes, Facts of Life, and the sometimes-cringey humor of Friends, Seinfeld, and The Office.
🚗 Childhood Obsessions – Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, Bionic Woman, and the Fembots (yes, really). Angie may have written a love letter to Bo Duke.
💔 TV That Made Us Cry – The final episode of MAS*H, the passing of Matthew Perry, and other moments that still hit hard.
📺 Shows That Still Hold Up – Golden Girls, Cheers, Frasier, Northern Exposure (especially if you ever drove through Roslyn, WA), and the underrated brilliance of Facts of Life.
📞 Life Before Streaming – When you missed an episode and just… missed it. No rewinds, no DVR, no streaming service savior.
