"Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" is a British comedy series that premiered on Channel 4 in 2004, starring Matthew Holness as fictional horror author Garth Marenghi. Presented as a long-lost television series from the 1980s that was considered "too radical" to air at the time, the show follows Marenghi as Dr. Rick Dagless, a doctor at Darkplace Hospital who battles supernatural forces. Intentionally terrible acting and bad dialogue help create a parody of low-budget '80s horror television. "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" lasted just six episodes and attracted little attention during its original run, but the years have been very kind to it. The series developed a devoted cult following. So will the S1E1 boys discover something special lurking inside Darkplace, or should this lost '80s series have stayed lost? Listen as they deep dive the series premiere, "Once Upon a Beginning" and find out.

"The Pitts" is a sitcom that premiered on Fox in 2003, following a seemingly normal suburban family who just happen to have the worst luck imaginable. The brainchild of "The Simpsons" veterans Mike Scully and Julie Thacker-Scully, the show stars Dylan Baker and Kellie Waymire as Bob and Liz, alongside a young Lizzy Caplan and David Henrie as their children. From satanic cults to psychotic nannies, nothing is uncommon in this family's household. Unfortunately, bad luck followed "The Pitts" off-screen as well and Fox pulled the plug after just five made it to air. Years later, Fox surprisingly tried to resurrect the failed sitcom as an animated series, but that version never made it past the pilot stage. So will the S1E1 boys find some laughs in the Pitts' misery, or is watching this show just another stroke of bad luck? Listen as they deep dive "The Pitts" pilot episode and find out. Starring: Dylan Baker, Kellie Waymire, Lizzy Caplan, David Henrie, Aaron Fors, Ben Donovan, & Melissa Peterman www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

"Saved by the Bell" is a sitcom revival that premiered on Peacock in 2020, returning viewers to the halls of Bayside High nearly three decades after the original gang graduated. When California Governor Zack Morris closes several underfunded high schools, students from those schools are transferred to the much wealthier Bayside, where they quickly discover just how different their worlds are. Critics were surprisingly receptive to this return to Bayside, praising the show's sharp writing, self-aware humor.

So do Zack and the gang make the grade at Cal U, or should they have called it quits after graduation?

With Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) still running the school, a brand-new group of students arrives to fill the familiar roles. The similarities to the original series weren't exactly subtle, but "The New Class" gave NBC a way to keep the halls of Bayside open and "Saved by the Bell" alive on Saturday mornings. Despite never reaching the popularity of its predecessor, "The New Class" somehow outlasted it, running for seven seasons while cycling through a seemingly endless supply of Bayside students. So does this new class make the grade, or should Bayside have closed its doors when Zack and the gang graduated?
