Two idiots and their much more intelligent guests take on classic TV (mostly the Andy Griffith Show) to see the weird messages they broadcast into American homes, and assess what holds up and what caused permanent damage to the psyche of an entire generation. Join hosts Marty Schneider and Dan Ludwig as they descend into the madness of Boomer television, and occasionally break down their own childhood television addictions. New episodes bi-weekly on Thursday mornings!

Then we cover more of Don Knotts' film career, including "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" and "The Reluctant Astronaut", a film which is in high contention for "most unfortunate relea…

Our exploration of failed spinoffs continues as we look into a Golden Girls spinoff that actually did make it to the air... kind of!

Our trip through TV Shows that never were continues, as we briefly step into the seedy criminal monster mash of SUPERNATURAL: BLOODLINES, a proposed spinoff of the CW hit that launched a million gross fanfics.

Welcome to our new NEW miniseries, Backdoor Lovers, where we explore episodes of shows that were meant to create new shows... but didn't.

Look, I don't know what this episode title means either but I do know this THIS episode is agonizing for Marty and Dan. Turns out, there's a good reason why TV seasons aren't 32 episodes long anymore, and that's because you run out of plots REAL FAST. These episodes aren't technically reruns, but pretty darn close. Somehow, though, the Andy Griffit…

It's the 100th episode of Breaking Mayberry and we brought in Joe Wade from Christmas Creeps to join us as we dive into Kickstarter-funded fan film Mayberry Man.

This episode was recorded on December 28th. I'm telling you this because it's a VERY "this is the week between Christmas and New Years, time is meaningless we are all lost in liminality" sort of episode. In fact, we talk about The Andy Griffith Show, cumulatively, for about 18 minutes on this one. That's being generous. What do we talk about instea…

Podcast host, burlesque emcee, and chaos demon Adam Teterus joins us again to discuss an episode sort of about shoplifting, but mostly about offensively lazy t-shirts.

We're back for another trip to 60s TV hell, and we're taking y'all to Marty's Comix Korner! We'll also discuss Dan's midnight snacking habits and learn who the scrub in "No Scrubs" was. Also at some point we'll do Andy Griffith Show Season 04, Ep 22 "Andy's Vacation" which has a special surprise place in Breaking Mayberry lore, but we'll get to tha…

Welcome to our mid-season break, kinda. We're spending half the episode discussing a truly bizarre news piece about Mt. Airy, NC, and then the other half talking about an episode I've already forgotten. Also we go in hard on those punks at NPR. About time someone put them in their place.
