The Saturday Morning Podcast
S11E10 FLIP! and 2HIP4TV
Okay, so here’s the story: A comedian and the kid of a famous singer get together at a bowling alley and have a great time. They perve on women, they introduce bubbling-under bands, and constantly clash with the executives of the network they’re on. Sounds like a great time for the kids.
Here now is the story of how this kids variety show came to Saturday Morning.
Who were the hosts?
Was MTV responsible for… whatever this is?
Did anything good come from this show?
All these questions, and more, will be answered in this look at 2HIP4TV!
But wait, there's more!
Okay, so here’s another story: There was an “Entertainment Tonight” show aimed at kids to keep them informed of trends and fads. And this one time they profiled a guy who turned out to murder a woman he was raping. Is this the dark side of Saturday Morning? Not really, it was just a misplaced belief in a role model.
Here now is the story of how this kids news show came to Saturday Morning.
Who was involved? Seriously, there’s no imdb page.
How long did it run? Wikipedia had nothin’!
Is there a third question to ask? I don’t think I have enough information to ask that question. SO, no third question.
All these questions, and more, will be answered in this look at FLIP!! Roll it!
Thanks for ‘tooning in.
