This month Queen Mel and Sarcastro sit down with Mr. The Slayer to talk about the first episode of Charles in Charge from 1984. In this episode we learn that Scott Baio as the titular Charles is in fact in charge of the lives of three young children in New Jersey and takes his job as their live-in manny very seriously even when faced with the dilema of having to cancel a date with his dream girl, only to have the mother of the family suggest his date come to the house while she has to go to a last minute work assignment for the evening. Also it would appear the father may be expecting Charles to be some sort of enforcer or heavy for anyone who tries to steal his daughter's virtue. What we don't learn is why Charles doesn't like to be called sincere as it seems to set him off when people say that he is.

This month Queen Mel and Sarcastro sit down with their guests, The Slayer and Fatty, to discuss the first episode of 1981's Gimme a Break which starred Nel Carter as some sort of live in housekeeper/cook/mother figure to a gruff police chief and his three daughters. After observing the family dynamic and seeing that Nel is appartetnly the only character who isn't a fish out of water they determine if this could be remade today and if so, would it still be a sitcom. They also rate it on the Blansky-Benson scale to see where it will earn it's place is The First Ones history.

This month Queen Mel and Sarcastro are joined by Fatty and The Slayer (Mel's co-host on The Sunnydale Diaries) to discuss the first episode of WKRP in Cincinnati from 1978 which is about a struggling AM easy listening station that's getting a facelift to become a rock station and it's quirky cast of characters. Somehow it's a show that everyone except Sarcastro had seen growing up.
