Description

Are you ready to unlock the treasure trove of television nostalgia? Welcome to "TV In The Basement," the podcast that transports you back to the shows that defined generations.

Join your host, Journey Joe Mitchell, as he takes you on a heartfelt journey through the small-screen gems of yesteryear. In each episode, we dust off the VCR tapes and reminisce about classic series like "Happy Days" and “M*A*S*H” that kept families gathered around the TV in the ‘70s.,

We'll delve into the neon-soaked '80s with shows like "The A-Team" and "Knight Rider," sparking memories of action-packed adventures and unforgettable catchphrases.

Moving into the '90s, we'll revisit the must-see TV of the era, from the quirky humor of “Seinfeld” and"Friends" to the dramatic twists of "The X-Files." And of course, we'll stroll through the early 2000s with hits like "The Sopranos" and "Lost," where television storytelling reached new heights. But the journey doesn't stop there.

We'll also explore the more recent past, discussing acclaimed series like "Breaking Bad" and "Game of Thrones" that captivated audiences from 2010 to 2019….as well as shows like “Suits” and “Moonlighting” which are getting a second life via streaming.
