  • SUMMER RERUN: The First Time with Scarecrow and Mrs. King

    SUMMER RERUN: The First Time with Scarecrow and Mrs. King
    2025/08/07
    In this special summer rerun reminiscent of those hot and fabulous days of 1980s television, hosts Sharon Johnson and Susan Lambert Hatem take listeners back to the very first episode of our own 80s TV Ladies.

    Originally dropped July 20, 2022, this throwback episode revisits the launch of the podcast and the cultural moment that inspired it—emerging from the pandemic, navigating a changing world, and celebrating the iconic women of 1980s television. Sharon and Susan dive deep into the pilot of "Scarecrow and Mrs. King," exploring its unique blend of action, comedy, and romance, and discussing why the show remains a beloved, feminist classic.

    Along the way, they reflect on the evolution of female-driven TV, the impact of trailblazing showrunners, and the enduring appeal of stars like Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner.Packed with personal stories, pop culture insights, and plenty of laughs, this episode is both a nostalgic look back and a celebration of the groundbreaking women who shaped TV history. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering 80s TV Ladies for the first time, this is the perfect place to start your journey.

    THE CONVERSATION
    • Beverly Garland: the hotel AND the actress – Plus, Is she Amanda King’s mother – or Laura Holt’s (Remington Steele)?
    • Kate Jackson’s previous hit show: Was it Alley Cats or Harry’s Angels or….?
    • Did the writers change Amanda from being married to divorced in the pilot script?
    • Who was the first female showrunner in TV history – and why did it take 30 years before there was another?
    • What was Amanda King’s superpower?
    • And what does all this have to do with Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope?
    Join us for our “First Time” as we solve the mystery of whether or not Scarecrow and Mrs. King was a feminist show – a progressive show – or both?

    Have no fear: Susan and Sharon are on the case!

    "Darrin is super comfortable in himself. Darrin knows he is not the powerful one 'cause he is like, ‘I married a witch'… It's nice to see a dude that loves his wife.” - Marty SchneiderHosts Susan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson team up with Marty Schneider and Dan Ludwig of the Breaking Mayberry podcast for a magical, hilarious crossover! In this bonus episode, the crew dives into the world of “Bewitched,” focusing on Season 2, Episode 2: “A Very Special Delivery,” where Samantha is pregnant, Darrin is doting, and then not.

I feel like Darrin by season six is going to be the ultimate version of that because he has been a man, a woman, a monkey, a dinosaur, probably a race car driver.” - Dan LudwigPlus:The “Breaking Mayberry” team shares insights from their own podcast, which explores the weird messages and generational impact of classic TVCrossover fun: Listen to Part 1 on Breaking Mayberry, where the group covers “Alias Darrin Stephens” (Season 2, Episode 1)Where to watch “Bewitched” for free, and how to find more from both podcasts“I think in terms of Endora, this was one of the best episodes for her character.
