So Fun!
I just discovered this pod and really enjoy it. I watched almost all of the shows they reviewed and it’s fun to listen to them discuss them. I binged a bunch of episodes. They are entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Disappointing…They know nothing
These guys don’t know anything about 80’s shows. Example: they didn’t know who Sonny Crockett was. Come on! Stay in your lane and talk about something you are familiar with because the 80’s ain’t it

Great Concept Execution OK
I love the idea of this podcast and the shows chosen. The guys are decent but there are pet peeves of mine that keep me from giving it more than three starts. 1) They don’t do enough research about guest stars and the shows and assume no one listening knows. For example in the Stingray episode they say no one listening knows the theme. Wrong! Stingray has a loyal fan base and I even have the theme on my phone. In other words they treat the audience as if they don’t love and know obscure TV but we do. I’m always frustrated when they stumble over names etc. 2) one of the guys laughs a lot as he talks which is distracting 3) they also both say “or whatever” a lot which is what you say when you don’t have a lot of facts on hand. I know this sounds like a lot of nitpicking and it is. This is why I gave it 3 stars. If none of this bothers you it may be 5 stars to you l .

Awesome show!
Hosts Mike and Mike first talk about modern shows they currently are watching and then dive in to a scene be scene description of a show from the ‘70s and ‘80s. Their tales are entertaining and they note how times have changed! Between the two hosts they a nice detailed summary of the episode and presented in a fun, light-hearted fashion. I highly recommend!

Memory Lane
So many shows I once watched faithfully, but have been long forgotten in the clutter of on-demand and streaming content - this is a great throw back! Love the chemistry between the two Mike’s and thank you for helping me remember some of my favorite shows and some I still can’t believed I watched!

Get trip down TV memory lane
Love the back and forth conversation between the two Mikes. Listening to episodes brings back good memories from childhood and like that there are quick to reply on social media regarding future episode suggestions.

Hilarous and Nostalgic
As someone from a slightly different era, I can greatly appreciate sensation of going back to your childhood to explore the media that influenced you. The two Mikes on this show do such a fantastic job digging into their past with a whole lot of delicious humor. If you're a fan of the 70s and 80s, you'll get a lot out of this show, but especially lots and lots of giggles. Great work here, Mikeseses!

I Still Listen To This
Whether old TV shows hold up well or we deserve to be mocked for loving those shows back in the day, this podcast is a trip to listen to! Especially for me, since I grew up during the 70s and 80s and those TV shows form a big part of my pop culture heritage. Get used to listening to these two Mikes discuss what they used to watch because it's TV nostalgia at its best.

My favorite podcast!
Even though these shows are before my time, i love the podcast! Fun to hear about earlier versions of shows like Magnum PI that are new to my generation but were around when my dad was younger.

How TV Used to Be!
Maybe you watched these or maybe you weren't in the audience but if you're a fan of TV, media, entertainment, pop culture or the vintage & retro, this show is a fun and addictive way to refresh your memory on TV history, indulge in nostalgia or (for younger listeners) marvel and enjoy hearing about what we used to watch

Great 70s & 80s Podcast
If you grew up in the 70s & 80s or are just a fan of that time period (like myself), you gotta check out this great podcast. Mike and Mike do a great job of covering tv shows from that time and I just find this podcast so fascinating. Keep up the great work!

And I listen now!
I just discovered this podcast and lucked out by finding their Christmas special episodes first! Anyone who knows me knows that I love Christmas and these episodes did not disappoint. The Duke Boys and Star Wars? What more could you want? I’m excited to listen to the rest given how great these hosts both summarized and provided hilarious commentary for what I have listened to so far.

Amazing
Wow these guys are paying homage to so much culture that drives today’s youth. It’s like sitting at your grandparents house telling us about the good days when the cost of bread matters. Much love! Eddie

Great show for TV fans

kellylovespodcasts
Ever sit around and talk about old TV?
So do the Mikes! Mike and Mike lived the same life many of us did and have the same memories of the shows we grew up with. Sometimes those memories are better than they deserve to be, other times they are spot on! The Mikes risk ruining those happy memories by lookng at the shows we rember so fondly and see if they hold up and are an enjoyable as we all hope they are. Fun show and worth a listen. (Just don't be too disappointed if you learn these old TV shows aren't exctly what you remember)

Flashback
Great reliving the 1980s - when I had hair. I use to love watching these old shows. ESPNs Mike and Mike have nothing on these Mike and Mikes.

So much fun to take a trip down memory lane with Mike and Mike. It’s interesting to listen to the adult perspective of the shows many years after watching them as a kid on a weekly basis.
