Hello, prime-time television enthusiasts! In this episode, Sweathogs
Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) check out one of DC
Comics' experimental titles from their mid-1970s "Explosion," when they
read Welcome Back, Kotter #1 by Elliot S! Maggin and Jack
Sparling from 1976! After the creator bios, and an explanation of the
conditions that allowed such a comic book to exist, they do a complete
read-through and make poor attempts at mimicking the character voices.
After a break, our TV addicts talk about a few other television shows
turned into surprisingly popular comic books, then talk about American
television in the 1970s, and the conditions that allowed such a
television show to exist. Plus, some listener mail--and some mixed news
for the Treadmill clan. You won't need a laugh track to enjoy this one!
