Listen "Second Chances: The Best and Worst Comebacks Ever"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Chris and Mike dive into the world of legendary comebacks — from TV shows and movies to products and brands that disappeared, only to rise again. We cover the successes (Futurama, Doctor Who, Cobra Kai) and the total flops (History of the World, Part II, Knight Rider 2008, we’re looking at you). Chris brought the facts, Mike brought his own AI research, and together we compared notes — sometimes matching up perfectly, other times going way off the rails. Along the way, we geek out over Animaniacs (with ratings, viewership stats, and some hard truths about the reboot), speculate about Spaceballs 2, and laugh our way through why some reboots hit hard while others crash faster than the XFL. It’s all about nostalgia, surprise returns, and the weird ways pop culture refuses to stay dead. And of course, this episode is powered by our friends at 1Up Electric — bringing the power back like a comeback done right.
