Flopcast 459: This Week in 1990 - The Fake Marcia Era

<p>Inspired by the discovery of some ancient Sponge Awareness Foundation music, we're flashing back to the very early 90s - specifically, this week in February 1990. Top 40 radio was dominated by pop/R&B ladies like Janet Jackson, Expose, and (along with our hero MC Skat Kat) Paula Abdul. At the movies, your options ranged all the way from Clive Barker horror to a Disney mermaid. And a weird week of television included a Love Boat reunion movie (with Rowdy Roddy Piper!), a very special Saturday Night Live (Wayne and Garth meet Aerosmith!), episode six of The Simpsons (introducing Bleeding Gums Murphy!), and a bizarre Brady Bunch revival (with Martha Quinn and Fake Marcia!). Our beloved 1980s were just a few weeks behind us, but there was no turning back. Before long, we'd settle into a steady diet of Crystal Pepsi and Zima, and hope for the best. Also: We unveil a Flopcast project that starts next week and includes a homework assignment for you. (Most homework assignments do not involve goofy old sitcoms, but this one totally does.)</p> <p><a href="https://flopcast.net/index.html" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Flopcast website!</a></p> <p><a href="https://esonetwork.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The ESO Network!</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Flopcast" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Flopcast on Facebook!</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_flopcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">The Flopcast on Instagram!</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Flopcast" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Flopcast on Twitter!</a></p> <p><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flopcast/id526877428?ign-mpt=uo%3D4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please rate and review The Flopcast on Apple Podcasts!</a></p> <p>Email: info@flopcast.net</p> <p><a href="http://spongeawareness.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Our music is by The Sponge Awareness Foundation!</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.nerdblisspodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">This week's promo: Nerdbliss
