TGIFailure #5: Talkin' Talking Babies (w/ Mandy Kaplan)
Voice actor and Make Me a Nerd host Mandy Kaplan joins the studio to talk about Baby Talk, an ill-fated attempt to translate the success of 1989's Look Who's Talking to the small screen. "Talking Baby" was apparently the idea we couldn't let go, as ABC tried three different times to make this show work. We're suffering through all we can as our look at failed TGIF sitcoms continues.

Unlocked Bonus: My Mother the Car Talk
In this unlocked bonus episode, Marty and Dan cover one of the worst shows of all time. My Mother the Car is a bizarre TV Relic that should have stayed buried but we can't help ourselves. It's just failure and loser energy all over the place with this one, folks.
