In the final episode of the first season, we focus on a playwright named Gregory who has discovered a very special power in his way with words: the ability to bring his characters to life. Nicole and Peter dictate this episode and discuss the awful act of un-creating, the father-son duo who each starred in a Season 1 episode, and a very special appearance by Rod Serling.

The Hoboken Zephyrs are a terrible baseball team having a terrible season when a new left-handed pitcher named Casey joins with the potential to turn their fortunes around.

Mr. James B. W. Bevis is having one of those days. Luckily for him, he’s inherited a guardian angel who can give him another shot at it.

Roger Shackleforth needs three things when he is looking to woo a lady: flowers, champagne, and a cheap potion he can buy from Professor A. Daemon.

In this push-push-push world, wouldn’t it be nice to slow down to a walk and live life full measure? Nicole and Peter finally step off this timeless episode and discuss penny-farthings, the endurance of the office gossip chain, and what the censors of the time will and will not tolerate.
