Special Update Announcement:  The First Ones is officially getting it's own show feed!  While we have loved having the show on this feed and it will reamain part of the POoRCHoices family of shows, we felt it needed it's own space.  Be sure to follow or subscribe to the The First Ones on your favorite podcast platform as Sarcastro and Queen Mel continue to deliver new monthly content based on classic (or maybe not so classic) television series. This month Queen Mel and Sarcastro discuss the first episode of the sitcom Benson from 1979.  A spin-off of the series Soap starring Robert Guillaume as the titular Benson DuBois who has been hired as the head of household for fish-out-of-water Governor Gatling of a never confirmed state played by James Noble.   Benson meets some of the staff of the mansion consisting of the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Governor and a sizeable German woman who appears to handle most of the duties of the house staff as the housekeeper and cook.  Benson spends this episode solving a problem for the Governor who is trying to do what he thinks is right in saving wildlife but puts him on the outs with his daughter.  Intro and outro interpreted and performed by Banky on behalf of Sarcastro.
