The First Ones - Blansky's Beauties

Welcome to The First Ones, an Our POoRCHoices podcast.  On this series Sarcastro and Queen Mel pick a show from yesteryear and maybe grab a couple of guests from around the POoRCHoices offices and recap just the first episode of said show while dissecting it and determining if it's a show that would fly in today's entertainment landscape.   In the season two opener of The First Ones Sarcastro and Queen Mel are joined by guest commentator Fatty and producer Banky to talk about Blansky's Beauties, A Garry Marshall show that was so good at getting cancelled they made the same show twice using several of the cast members under a different show name and on two networks.  Starring Nancy Walker of Rhoda and The Dick van Dyke Show fame, as Nancy Blansky, a showbiz veteran who is spending her twilight years raising her nephews (played by Eddie Mekka and a very young Scott Baio) while managing a group of show girls at what may be one of the seediest hotels in Las Vegas.  Oh did we mention there's a Great Dane named Blackjack in the show, because, why not?   Intro interpreted and performed by Sarcastro
