The Aquaboy Podcast
Aquaboy is a podcast where we explore the annals of television history finding shows, that try as they might, only made it a single season. Did they deserve cancellation or a second chance? We’ll decide.

Lets just say...the Aquaboys love Police Squad! Ok...
"THE AQUABOYS LOVE POLICE SQUAD!"
Still soaking up every glorious second of this masterpiece, the Aquaboys remain in awe of just how brilliant—and ridiculously ahead of its time—Police Squad! truly was. In between gushing over this spectacular show, they also manage to sneak in a legal disclaimer, some international travel chatter, and a well-de...
(Recorded Live at Gus’s World-Famous Fried Chicken)
The Aquaboys return to their home-away-from-home: Gus’s Fried Chicken on Magnolia! How in the world did they get invited back after last year’s debacle? Let’s just say Aquaboy Nation demanded it!
In this episode, the boys discuss Police Squad!, one of the greatest shows they’ve ever watched. They also exchange their Secret Santa gifts, Tony shares a fasc...
The brilliance of Police Squad! is impossible to overstate! The Aquaboys are still reveling in this classic from the ‘80s. We loved it so much, we celebrated by taking a break from recording for a few months. But we *promise to get back to a more regular schedule from now on.
Veteran newman Tony hosts his segment, Celebrity Highlights and Onscreen Wonders Bulletin Express. In the subsegment Totally Worth Attention Tele...
The Aquaboys celebrate their 50th episode by watching something good for a change. ‘Police Squad!’ goes down so damn easy, especially after all the absolute garbage the Aquaboys have endured the past few episodes. Police Squad! not only continues our streak of shows that end in an exclamation mark, but it also establishes itself as one of the very best episodes of television we’ve watched since our little podcast ...
The Aquaboys found the first episode of Voyagers! surprisingly enjoyable. It’s one of the few times a show was voted unanimously to renew by all 4 broadcast professionals. Did the love-fest carry over to Episode #2? Well folks....the very inconsistent rules of time travel and the suspiciously educational tone might have something to say about that.
Meanwhile, Tony unveils some truly inspired art, the Aquaboys try to...
(Recorded Live at WinStar World Casino & Resort)
Once again, the Aquaboys hit the road for a live broadcast at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. It has been so long since the Aquaboys last broadcast that a seasoned listener will be able to tell it takes us about 20 minutes (and several cocktails, THANK YOU WINSTAR) to get back into the swing of things. Luckily, the big wheel blessed us with a hal...
Despite navigating a huge upheaval to the line-up, the Aquaboys manage to tackle yet another karate-kick-to-the-nuts episode of Thunder in Paradise. Recently back from the front lines, Special Correspondent Lane takes a spin in the color commentary seat. And after years of understated positioning statements, corporate espionage, and several large-scale assassination attempts Jason “The Smartest Aquaboy” ™ has finall...
Never has a single television show been so shockingly horrendous that it forced the Aquaboys to wrestle with the fundamental nature of their existence. To wander blindfolded on the event horizon between a peaceful human life and reality-bending, cosmic-scale horror. "Thunder in Paradise" exists outside of any currently understood dimension, enthusiastically twisting the will, nay, the very life force of the ...
As the Aquaboys embark on 2024, they simply can't think of a better way to kick off another year of television torture than by diving headlong into this prime example of early '90s Hulk Hogan-centric silliness. Do they manage to find the makings of a decent show among the wrestler cameos, absurd dialogue, rampant bikini filler, and piss-poor acting? That's for you, the listener, to discover. All that, ...
(Recorded Live at Gus’s World-Famous Fried Chicken)
This episode is chuck full of Aquaboy firsts! The Aquaboys record their first live show at their home-away-from-home, Gus’s Fried Chicken on Magnolia. Also, for the first time in the history of the show, the Aquaboys voted to renew Manimal an unprecedented fifth time. Why have they bestowed this honor on such a terrible show? That’s for you the listener to d...
The Aquaboys are back, and now 100% of the crew has reasonably acceptable vocal ability. The boys continue their slog through Manimal, and now it’s starting to feel like actual work. On the plus side, this episode features considerably less warehouses. On the downside, we’re still watching Manimal. For those of you who prefer the banter versus actual show discussion, the new segment ‘Celebrity Highlights and Onsc...
Faithful Aquaboy listener…there is good news and bad news to share. First the good news…the Aquaboys have returned after a long medical-related hiatus. The bad news…they are still watching this downright terrible show, Manimal. New off-screen animal transformations, a tropical paradise setting, needlessly over-complicated puzzles, and deep state espionage are not enough to keep this mess from appealing to even the ...
The Aquaboys are beginning to realize why Manimal comes with such a dubious reputation. Even with a retooled exposition-filled intro, this show still bewilders even the most attentive viewer. Loads and loads of filler, off-putting transformations, unnecessarily complicated smuggling plans, father-son hawk trapping and vastly overpowered birds all contribute to complicated feelings about this show. There is a very g...
Manimal might be the most famous (or infamous) of the shows the Aquaboys have watched so far. Its celebrity status as terrible TV seems built on a couple giant ideas that were executed hilariously bad. Maybe the producers thought the killer effects would carry the show? Did bubble forehead, felt cat paw, and tamed cobras impress the Aquaboys enough to renew this legendary train wreck? Listen and find out for you...
They thought they were all done with Matthew Star. But no. Not at all. The big wheel had other plans for the Aquaboys that day. The big wheel smiled ever-so slightly as it knew it was about to make them watch this turd of a show once again. The wheel knew the Aquaboys needed to experience television history’s only attempt at making paint a compelling plot device.
Yes, paint.
The big wheel knew...
This week the Aquaboys welcome Special Correspondent Lane back to the show! We didn’t necessarily roll out the welcome mat by making SCL watch this pitiful excuse for a TV show. (Even by early 80’s standards) The Powers of Matthew Star somehow manages to take all the fun out of watching bad TV. Maybe that’s one of his multiple (?) powers?
But let this be a warning to you, intrepid listener. Every once ...
The Aquaboys experience another heck-of-a-ride as we attempt to parse this incomprehensible show. This week, Matthew Star helps us to better understand the military-like efficiency of the US judicial system, the corrupt nature of the recording industry, and the vastly under-reported dangers of passenger van customization. All that and a kindhearted nuanced discussion of the pros and cons of cannibalism.
Remember. T...
Fitting that The Powers of Matthew Star is about fighting to save an alien race. Because for the first half of the show, the Aquaboys ponder the impacts of ChatGPT, and if we should prepare to fight for humanity’s survival. After being seriously creeped out, we get our shit together and discuss this AMAZING show. Will we cancel or renew? Is ChatGPT a more superior form of Aquaboy? Start the show and find out! <...
The Aquaboys end another year of broadcast excellence with an episode for the ages!! We return to the medieval realm of Aperans, for yet another blissful romp through Wizards and Warriors. We stop down and take a moment of valuable airtime to celebrate the life of one of our own. We take a deep insightful dive into the world of furry culture. All that AND about as much sacrilege as you can handle. You’re welcom...
50% of the professional broadcasters on the Aquaboy Podcast display their unending dedication to the show by (once again) watching the wrong episode. I mean seriously, how is that even possible? Maybe they couldn't find time to get it right in the two full months since we recorded last? As a result, their mistake makes an already painful watch even more confusing and hard to digest. Despite all the headwind...
