It’s the premiere episode of a special seven-part Pop Culture Affidavit miniseries, IT CAME FROM SYNDICATION! Starting with THIS VERY EPISODE, I will be taking a look at syndicated television from the 1980s and the early 1990s, covering a variety of genres and shows. For our first time around, I start off by talking about the history of syndication in the United States and then move on to my personal history with syndication as a kid on Long Island. Then, I go into the first type of programming that I’m covering: movies. From Siskel & Ebert’s weekly review show to WPIX’s Godzillathon, I discuss why coming across movies in syndication was so important to me as a kid.

A dear friend once said to me: “It’s a lot of fun when everyone’s a dork of some sort or another.” As I look back on my life as a dork, I realize that not only have I geeked out, but not in the right way. My taste, you see, isn’t great. But instead of hiding from that, I’ve decided to embrace it. Part commentary, part memoir, this is an exploration of my weird love for the obscure and for those things that sorta suck.
