🎧Episode Summary

Hey freaks! Timmy Boo is taking the holiday off, so enjoy this classic episode from 2019 while you poke around the newly expanded Sideshow Archives — now featuring 17 years of content (2004–2015 & 2021–2026), all available in your private podcast feeds when you sign up at DistortedView.com.

On this throwback show: TV theme song insanity, Brady Bunch desperation, Jesse Lee Peterson’s heartfelt (?) tribute, and some truly horrifying medical and human-interest stories from around the world.

🎵 Retro TV Theme Song Madness

Tim spirals into nostalgia after hearing a bizarre Mr. Belvedere AIDS remix, leading to a deep dive into:

The surprising career of theme-song composer Gary Portnoy (Cheers, Punky Brewster, Belvedere).
Alternate demo versions of the Cheers theme — including some truly depressing lyrics.
HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation inspiring a rant about decades of failed Brady spinoffs.
The short-lived 1990 drama The Bradys — featuring paralysis, alcoholism, and Florence Henderson’s… ambitious singing.

🪦 Jesse Lee Peterson Tribute Theater

A conservative radio host delivers a jaw-droppingly awkward “tribute” to Congressman Elijah Cummings, complete with mystical Trump logic and uncomfortable dead air. Tim considers buying a Jesse Lee Peterson merch shirt.

📰 Distorted News
